 * Delete. The problem with redirecting to Solitaire is that it is simply a redirect to Microsoft Solitaire.  Not having an article on the generic card game seems odd, but that appears to be the situation.  Also, there's a second problem here.  The instant article is unsourced and, thus, there's no evidence that this game isn't something that was just made up by the article's creator.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 02:09, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * It seems I spoke too soon. There is an article on the generic game, under the title Patience (game).  Indeed, that was where the article Solitaire originally redirected, until someone changed it to the computer game.  I've changed it back (to a redirect to Patience), but I'm still recommending a 'delete', for the reason stated above.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 02:22, 10 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - I would say redirect, but I can't find sources supporting that this variation even exists (granted, I didn't look that hard, due to the commonality of the name). At first I was thinking merge, and create a section in the Patience article about variations, but this article is so poorly written, I wouldn't know what to keep and what to throw out. If a source for this variation could be found, wouldn't argue with a redirect.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:22, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
