Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tredici

A card game invented last year. Not notable. Several Google hits, but they are Wiki-mirrors, or an inclusion on lists of invented games that direct back to the author's home page. I couldn't find any evidence that anyone outside his immediate circle is actually playing the game. Joyous 21:42, Jul 27, 2004 (UTC)

delete. Sounds interesting, but this is the wrong place. Ianb 21:49, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Direct author to pagat.com with best wishes. Isomorphic 04:29, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Delete - original "research". -- Cyrius|✎ 02:02, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- And delete because of the copyright problem as well. Articles "used with permission" are not allowed. -- Cyrius|✎ 13:26, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Keep without reservation. Remember that other semi-obscure card game (last winter, or was it fall?) that turned out to be really worth keeping? 259 03:23, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Nice try, Mike, but Ambition's no more notable than this, and no more likely to pass VfD. Delete. Denni☯ 18:43, 2004 Aug 1 (UTC)
  - Who is Mike? 259 21:34, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I'm (presumably) the Mike that Isomorphic is referring to. I say: Keep. 1> This is a fairly well-known game, according to my research. 2> He's trying to contribute positively to society, so lay off his back. 3> Never played tredici, but we shouldn't assume (as the Wikipedia cabal often do) that it sucks ass just because it's obscure.

- Oh, but do let me add one caveat: Jordon Kalilich should know that anything on Wikipedia becomes open source; if he doesn't want to relinquish the copyright to his game, he shouldn't post the rules here, and should ask for his deletion. That in mind, I redact my vote: I choose to delegate it to Mr. Kalilich. If he wishes to have the article deleted knowing that, then I change my vote. If he does not speak, then I say keep.

Delete, because it's not notable. It's irrelevant whether or not the game is good or not. Wikipedia does not seek to scoop other sites or be the first to report "memes on the rise." Wikipedia does not seek to discover and promote worthy-but-little-known things that deserve to be better known. Whenever Tredici becomes important, someone can contribute an article on it. I haven't found, nor has anyone presented, evidence to convince me that Tredici is important yet. [[User:Dpbsmith|dpbsmith (talk)]] 12:32, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
