Get Minted Poker Live

Excuse me, but what's the problem with Get Minted Poker Live? I was looking at the page for Greg Winters and noticed the red link, so I decided to fill it in. You claim it's an ad, I don't know what else you expect a short article about a television show to look like. Nutlow 23:11, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

It looks like an ad, doesn't it? Maybe it's not; that's why I listed it as CSD for being ad and nn. If you don't think it's CSD-worthy, please feel free to add the "hangon" tag and expand on the article. As it stands though, I'm not sure it's notable. GertrudeTheTramp 23:13, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

"It looks like an ad, doesn't it?" - I don't agree. It looks like what it is: a stub. Nutlow 23:15, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

A new article by a new account for a poker show and web-site? I'm still going with ad, but even if it's not, there needs to be more sources than the show's own web-site to establish notability. NN. GertrudeTheTramp 23:16, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

"A new article by a new account". Grr, very well, it was made by me. I was intending to keep it anonymous. Why? The show features emails and stuff from viewers and I was actually going to mention both this page and the show's host's page in such an email, which would in all probability get read out. But since I like to keep my real name and my Misplaced Pages username fairly seperate, I wanted to do it this way. Anyway, I assure you, it's not intended as an ad.

Hey yo, I just tag them like I see them. I believe you that it's not intended as an ad (as such-- I'm still not sure aboug your motives for writing the article, since you just seemed to imply it's to get read off on TV). Tag it as a stub, or try to show notability in the text, and I'm sure whoever comes along and reviews my speedy delete request will sort it all out. Cheers.

Looks like User:NawlinWiki already has. I was going to write the article anyway, then thought (since there are only a few people who actually send in emails) that I might mention the page and ask the host to see if he could think of anything to add. But not going to now. :-P Evercat 23:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Probably for the best, don't you think? That sounds like it would get into all sorts of sticky WP:Cite and conflict of interest and OR issues. GertrudeTheTramp 23:44, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't see how to be honest. Evercat 23:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Or yes, I suppose I see your point. But it's like mentioning to anyone that you wrote an article about something connected to them. You're bound to mention it. Anyway, doesn't matter now. Evercat 23:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Nerd

Re your message: No harm intended. We just ran over each other removing the vandalism. =) I reverted back to before the vandalism started. If you want to remove the section again, please feel free to. -- Gogo Dodo 07:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
