I removed "broadway" from the poker terms list because poker hand names have their own article, in which "broadway" already appears. --LDC 06:04, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Which article do you mean? in poker hands it doesn´t show up Elconejo 15:47, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

It was List of slang names for poker hands, but that article has been deleted because of incredibly stupid, short-sighted, wrong-headed, pedantic misunderstanding and mispplication of otherwise reasonable Wikipedia policy. Some of the entries in that good article have been moved to Wiktionary, which makes even less sense than having them here. It might make sense to put them in Wiktionary if the software their were set up to better handle it--maybe I'll have to rewrite that software too. I'll have to go looking for the deletion debate and see if I can influence anything. --LDC 16:09, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Hm.. ok so what do you suggest? I´m currently translating poker texts and I was stumbeling over this word several times until I decided it to put in here (as it is an poker related term). Can I just put it to the poker hands in the Straight section? Elconejo 16:13, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Currently, the powers that be (which I am no longer among) believe that definitions of terms belong in Wiktionary unless in a glossary of necessary terms of art used specifically in other Wikipedia articles. Unfortunately, Wiktionary isn't competent to handle them either, so slang glossaries are rather homeless at the moment. I will find a place for this list, it just might not be here. --LDC 21:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
