The result was delete. I'm going to delete the four articles explicitly listed at the top. It doesn't look like Poker_Effective_Hand_Strength_(EHS)_algorithm got a clear discussion, so I'm going to skip that one; feel free to bring it back for a new AfD. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:33, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Poker probability (Texas hold 'em)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )



Wikipedia is WP:NOT a tutorial on Texas hold'em. Due to the age/volume of content, I'm going to AfD rather than a straight redirect to Poker probability. Power~enwiki (talk) 22:56, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are of a similar nature:


 * Fold. Also Poker probability, Poker probability (Omaha) and especially Probability derivations for making rank-based hands in Omaha hold 'em. These are basic mathematics/probability calculations. Per WP:NOTTEXTBOOK, "The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to teach subject matter." Clarityfiend (talk) 06:13, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Poker probability might be salvageable, the others aren't. I'm adding them to this AfD. Power~enwiki (talk) 06:20, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete all four articles explicitly nominated. This simply is not the way the project handles material. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:50, 6 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment. A similar article, Poker_Effective_Hand_Strength_(EHS)_algorithm, while not as much a blizzard of numbers, this article similarly has no references, as well as bizarre formatting. 2005 (talk) 20:27, 6 June 2017 (UTC)


 * (Selective) Merge to Poker probability. While this is an example of a NOTTEXTBOOK violation, the topic itself is clearly notable and source-able, so it should not be deleted when selective merging is an alternative. Regards  So Why  07:59, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
