Poker legends

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested PROD. Personal essay, rife with original research, POV and unencyclopedic language with no attempt whatsoever at referencing, categories or plain readability. Nothing of any value whatsoever. Please delete.  role player 23:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong delete An article about poker players might be useful if approached in the right way, but this is just random blabbering by some random guy and isn't even useful as a starting point for a real article. Politizer talk / contribs 02:38, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - There is absolutely nothing encyclopedic about this page. First off, it's an essay, which we shouldn't have on here. Personally, I question whether any of this is even true. I watch poker occasionally and have never heard of any of the "Legends"; the only players I know are listed in the second sentence, and a couple of them are misspelled. Also, the last part looks like a personal attack.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 04:11, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm pretty sure the "legends" are and his friends. Politizer talk / contribs 04:26, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Likely a hoax made by bored kids. It's a mixture of Personal essay, short fiction and bragging.  Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 06:47, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete junk. JuJube (talk) 10:11, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Sounds like somebody who lost his money early in the game.  If he's as good at cards as he is with words, I can understand. Mandsford (talk) 16:52, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete I'm sure this AfD doesn't need my vote as it's a cast iron certainty to go but for what it's worth it's not encyclopedic, it's quite possibly a hoax, it's an essay, it's just not salvageable.  Paste  Let’s have a chat. 21:01, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Snowball that baby as utter silliness.  Graymornings (talk) 02:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. This is obvious spam. Timneu22 (talk) 02:50, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
