New product; a google search and google news search aren't turning up notability. Was deleted via prod, but article creator asked for the article to be restored and has not addressed the prod issues. Fabrictramp |  talk to me  17:04, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Explains this game (which seems to be a variant of Yahtzee), but it only says that some unique dice that are new can be used - which tells me it's a poor attempt at WP:SPAM. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 23:10, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

 * KEEP It is not a poor attempt at spam, or an advertisement or I would have included the link to the games website, which is under construction. This was my poor attempt at writing about my newly invented "Poker Dice". I understand now that an article must be "verifiable", but at this point I cannot do that. The game is currently Patent Pending, and in the Copyright Office at this moment and I am unable to provide anymore information about the dice or card games at this time. The world famous game "Yahtzee" is played with dice that have 1 to 6 dots on them, my dice have all 52 card faces and is played as a "Poker Game" with a "Blackjack Bonus Round", not even close.Thanks for your time :)Coryi711 (talk) 22:23, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. If you can't provide verification, why they're notable, or any reliable sources pertaining to this, then the article must go.  Just because it's not yet verifiable is doubly so as per WP:CRYSTAL.  Given all this, and that this article, by your own admission, will not stand up to this debate, why should we keep this? -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 03:05, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Dennis the Tiger Why so agressive, bad Karma dude?.."why should we keep this?"   You don't have to keep it, I died 2 years ago, heart failure at 44 and had a AICD installed, I got zapped twice in a minute by the defibrillator a couple of weeks ago, so I just wanted to get the word out about the game before I croaked, is all..... Can't blame a guy for trying....Coryi711 (talk) 16:22, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You didn't answer the question. The cardiac issues you are having are no doubt unpleasant, but to be honest, we need to be objective here.  At the end of the day, I still see an article that 1) doesn't fit into Wikipedia's standards, 2) has a keep !vote that doesn't fit into Wikipedia's guidelines (and in fact admits as much), and 3) is written by somebody that has issues with their ticker. I apologize for the hostile tone, but at the end fo the day, it doesn't explain why we should keep it - thus I ask again (with a rephrase), what's the rationale behind the keep? -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 20:02, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. By the article creator's admission they just invented the game. Good luck with it, and come back when multiple reliable sources have given indepth coverage to the game. Fences  &amp;  Windows  21:49, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Please forget everything about this topic, this never happened, this was a waste of your time and mine, and I truly apologize for that..you are correct "D'tigger" now is not the time to release this information...Thank you for the Good luck gesture Fences&Windows, and good luck to you in your life as well....and "D'tigger" you seem more heart less than I am, and I don't have one....Oh and I was blocked from editing, I was asked to go play in the sandbox, then the next thing I know is I got blocked by some Prince saying I was deleting things, if something got deleted, I'm sorry...I thought it was like a words program,and you could move and change things around, sorry if it caused any trouble, I was just trying to learn..I have been unable to contact an administrator about that also.....Coryi711 (talk) 00:04, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
