  • Speedy delete Blatant advert. Jasmol 04:24, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Well a freeroll is a real thing, but I mean... how much can an article say? It's a free tournament, popular with online poker sites. And already covered in Poker tournament. Delete this obvious advert. Not much to merge with tournament article. --W.marsh 04:58, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, I removed speedy... since WP:CSD doesn't have any provision for deleting spam. CSD doesn't mean because common sense says dictate, we have a set of rules. However, I do push for users to vote quickly so this can get closed with early consensus. gren グレン 06:14, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I created this article and I assure you I'm not spamming, my website is of no commercial value to me, I had created a list of freerolls for myself to follow and decided to make it available to everyone! There's no affiliate links and no money is asked of anyone. Please consider this article as I believe it is not covered in Poker Tournaments. The "Poker Freeroll" artricle currently available on Wikipedia does not serve the term well and is a blatant cutout of Doyle Brunson's first poker bible "Super System"

I had originally intended for winpoka.com to use mediawiki software however with the complexity of the coding and my intended audience, I did not believe a wiki would be the best format for my website. Instead I ask for public input at addme@winpoka.com and thought I would create add my own little peice to your wiki. I assure you that this information located on my website is incredibly valuable to any up and coming poker player and they would surely find it of interest. Thanks for the chance!

Sorry, but there are certain notability standards because this is an encyclopedia. I don't really play poker so I don't know of it's use but I recommend trying to get it onto http://dmoz.org/ or some directory listing and have it related to poker. This just isn't the kind of site for that I'm afraid. gren グレン 10:35, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

But you still don't properly define a poker freeroll tournament anywhere. Maybe I didn't properly define it, but it deserves a place in the encyclopedia. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

Add it to poker tournament. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] :: AfD? 11:04, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Even apart from the advertising aspect, this article has too narrow a scope. It's a stub and can't ever really be anything more than a stub. Jamie 08:26, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
