Raw Deal (card game)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

An article on a defunct collectable card game that has been tagged as needing secondary sources since 2008. Of the four sources cited, only two are independent, and neither appears to include anything approaching the level of significant coverage necessary to meet Wikipedia notability criteria. Almost all the content is entirely unsourced, and consists of a how-to guide for playing the game, rather than anything approaching secondary-sourced encyclopaedic commentary. A Google search finds nothing that might rectify the problems. In short, non-notable fancruft. AndyTheGrump (talk) 12:39, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete: PROMO for a defunct card game, with primary sourcing used. There might be coverage in the Dummies book, but we'd need more than that. I don't find anything, and it's been almost 20 yrs now, likely nothing else will be found. Oaktree b (talk) 15:26, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment: If it makes a difference, there are some links in the "Further reading" section about articles found in Scrye. BOZ (talk) 16:00, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
 * One of the articles was written by "Barron Vangor Toth, Raw Deal co-designer", and is clearly not an independent source. The remaining two actually say very little regarding the merits of the game, or anything else of consequence to anyone not already intimately familiar with it.
