Property of a Lady

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This appears to be a hoax. It's completely unsourced, and I can't find any mention could only find this passing mention. The notion that people gamble on this so-called game, whose outcome the article itself states is "entirely chance", is hard to believe. Its claim to have gained popularity from the poker boom is head scratching. Poker players try to take advantage of skill, not pure luck. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:38, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as HOAX. It's 9 years old and there's zero sources. The title's relation to cards appears to be in a James Bond context - it was to have been the title of the sequel to the film of OHMSS. (Clarityfiend's link is not a passing mention but the name given to one of seven games of Bingo on a James Bond theme night. My guess is that the prizes of that particular game are oriented towards women) ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 14:23, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Octopussy and The Living Daylights. The Property of a Lady was a short story by Ian Fleming which appeared in the aforementioned collection, published in 1966. I guess this could be a useful redirect to that article. This is Paul (talk) 18:07, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment  I deorphaned this and it looks like it is having the exact effect required, getting the the wikicommunity's attention now.  By the way the original created item was as a redirect . . .  Eno Lirpa (talk) 14:20, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Absolutely no references that I can see relevant to the current article.  Also the card game creator is an SPA.  What is the record for a hoax, this one seems to have stood for nine years ?   Eno Lirpa (talk) 14:20, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Apparently the record is currently held by Sheer Perfection, a fictional HBO miniseries supposedly aired in 2006, and which made it to 10 years 10 months before being deleted at the end of July. This has to be fairly high on the list though, and one wonders if we've maybe started a new trend among the card-playing fraternity. This is Paul (talk) 18:00, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
