Standard 56-card deck

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article describes two different 56-card decks of playing cards; however, after some research I can find no evidence that either deck is used for any game, current or historical, nor can I find evidence that either is commercially available, other than by removing cards from a French-suited tarot deck.

 * Delete: There's no "standard" 56-card deck, although one with Queens added to the existing 3 court cards has been described in the Rheinfelden manuscript copy of 1429. This deck is important somehow once 22 cards were then added to it, thus forming a new Tarot card deck composed of 78 cards. Krenakarore  TK 15:26, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete To begin with there is no standard 56 card deck, which is made clear by the article. The fact that there are or have been some 56 card decks around could be mentioned in Playing card (or whatever); individual notable decks could each have its own article, as some seem to already . Lumping them together because of their 56ness seems like OR to me. Borock (talk) 06:22, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Article linked was on a card not a deck. Borock (talk) 06:26, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Insufficient in-depth coverage in reliable sources. The existence of 56-card decks is already mentioned in Playing card; that should suffice. --Boson (talk) 12:56, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
