[edit] Minnesota Hold "Em

Minnesota Hold "Em (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I can find no confirmation that this game exists. Google turn up a few hits, but that's because the Minnesota lottery has a scratch off called "Minnesota Hold'em" (not the topic of this article). Also, there is a casino table game at a Minnesota casino by this name, but it is not the same as the game described in this article. Of the remaining links "Minnesota Hold'em" is referring to Texas hold'em in Minnesota. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 18:33, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Likely it's a game that only a select group of people play. I wouldn't be too surprised if this was spun off of the recent Fox Trot comic with Massachusetts Hold 'Em. DoomsDay349 18:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
• According to Garrison Keillor in this sketch, Minnesota Hold 'Em isn't played that way. His version of Minnesota Hold 'Em is a catch and release game where no money actually changes hands. But seeing as the Guy Noir sketch is fiction and the Wikipedia article is original research, I'd say fold, er, delete this article. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 22:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
• Fold. Let's give this article a hand- it's a complete flop. We should send it up the river- it definitely isn't a stud. The claims of notability in the article don't mean jack. Jeez, this !vote has taken a turn for the worse. -- Kicking222 23:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
• Complete Update! There is a Minnesota Hold'em, but it's not played like this! --Factorylad 23:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Looks like it fails WP:NFT. --Sable232 01:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above, and this is Wikipedia not The Pokerpedia. Give this the royal flush. Tubezone 08:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
• Article not properly named, for starters. Lack of sourcing makes one wonder if it's the real thing. The Foxtrot strip is more convincing, and it was a joke. Delete. B.Wind 01:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Every homegame isn't necessarily notable. Yoak 16:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
