Poker Heaven

Poker Heaven (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Company does not meet WP:WEB or WP:CORP. The website is what is a "skin" into the actual poker room, owned by Boss Media. If Boos Media had an article this would have been redirected there, but there currently is no Boss article. There are hundreds of these minor skins around, but currently articles only cover the companies who own the actual cardrooms. Besides that, Poker heaven isn't totally trivial but it is not very unique in and of itself. 2005 08:18, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I'm not as familiar with the subject. The article looks somewhat spammy, and it was created by a single-purpose account. YechielMan 00:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Author I appreciate why you nominated this for deletion but unfortunately don't know enough about Boss to begin an article. I do look up stuff on Wiki and have done for years, but have never been an editor, so wasn't sure where to put up the article for comments before general release.
• I saw articles for Poker Stars, Full Tilt and Party Poker/ Gaming and never thought that they were only there because they were networks. Poker Heaven is unique in that it's the only poker room with a TV channel, but I don't know if that's enough to warrant inclusion. If you feel the article is 'spammy' then please let me know what I should change and what other information is required. I tried to copy the format of the other poker ones as best I could. All criticism taken on board and feedback appreciated. StalkerB 13:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I just removed the pokerheaventv link as it redirects to another site. Saying they have a TV channel is, at best, not accurate. Pokerstars, FullTilt and PartyGaming have articles because they qualify for one. They have literally tens of thousands of non-trivial web and media references, and they are stand alone businesses. Pokerheaven is not. It's just a doorway into another business. A skin could gain an article if it did something unique mentioned in a non-trivial way by reliable sources, but we certainly don't want to have 100 articles on each of the individual Boss Media skins, with the same basic redundant information. 2005 21:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete The criteria for inclusion have nothing to do with the site being unique or having a "tv channel". The poker room is just a "skin" of Boss Media and has no claims to notability on its own. Rray 17:39, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete (Not to be confused with The Sopranos' "Big Pussy's Poker Heaven"). There is not enough WP:RS material to write an attributable article on the topic. Thus, the topic does not meet Wikipedia notability guidelines and cannot meet Wikipedia article policy standards. -- Jreferee 01:13, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
