This article sounds like an advertisement... Jayson (talk) 09:26, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree. Doesn't look globally notable to me. Merge anything encyclopedic (if it even exists) to the website owners article page. The owner is a notable figure being an OBE but the article certainly doesn't contain encyclopedic content at present. Dr. Blofeld (talk) 10:08, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: Not particularly stunning in its current form, but the fact (1) it is the first poker site to offer multiplayer poker in 3D is notable in my opinion. Also, I did a cursory comparison with other major poker sites and they rank much better than everestpoker.net and pokerstars.net, and slightly better than Pokerstars.com when it comes to (2) visitor numbers (according to Alexa.com). They also (3) won an award at the 2008 eGaming Review Awards. I took that from the PKR.com site, but we obviously would need to reference the award site or a newspaper for that fact. - Mgm|(talk) 11:08, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, expand and add sources. --Gene_poole (talk) 11:38, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well if your're both sure something encyclopedic can come of it. It looks like an advert to me. Dr. Blofeld (talk) 12:25, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I think I get the general gist of what you're saying, but please reword anyway, because what you said above is ungrammatical. - Mgm|(talk) 15:55, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Needs fixing to get this out of WP:SPAM, but savable. See Google News hits and a mention in a book. Notable enough for me. D ARTH P ANDA duel 17:28, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - the GNews hits look like recycled press releases that are posted to poker-related websites which do not to the best of my knowledge have the reputation for fact-checking and accuracy as required by WP:RS. The mention of this site in the book "Bigger Deal" is literally one sentence out of a 291-page manuscript. This is the definition of a trivial mention and may in no way be considered an indicator of notability. There is nothing here to support the existence of this article.

 * Keep - needs a copyedit is not grounds for deletion, other arguments simply don't hold up upon inspection. Wily D 15:33, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
