[edit] Poker dealer

This article was nominated by Cocopuffberman (talk • contribs), but not completed. I have added this header and listed it on the AfD page. I vote Keep as a notable/verifiable topic. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 01:53, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

• Merge. This article is very well written, and in my opinion, is a good contribution to Wikipedia. This page should be merged with cropier. I don't see a difference between the two pages except the poker specification. I think in the cropier page there should be sections that describe the role and responsibilities of dealers in different casino games. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cocopuffberman (talk • contribs) May 23, 2006.
• Keep. I don't object to croupier being expanded, but the word croupier is never used for poker dealers, and little of the information in this article is extensible to other dealing positions in a casino. There is room on wikipedia for both articles in my opinion. Kymacpherson 04:23, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Croupiers are not poker dealers. Poker dealers are not croupiers. You might as well merge an article about automobiles with one about tractors. 2005 05:26, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per 2005. Essexmutant 18:52, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to Card dealing and Merge the "Professional dealers" and most of the "Responsibilities during a hand" sections to Croupier. Most of the content on this page is general to any card game, not just poker; and croupier is just a french word synonymous with dealer (if you hear croupier and can only think stickman, that's your problem).
