[edit] Why remove it?

it is an acurate description of an estimate method that works well.

One of Wikipedia's core policies is WP:Verifiability. This article has no sources to allow other editors to verify the accuracy of the information. The WP:Notability guideline defines what topics are suitable for inclusion. If you can edit this article to conform to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies then it should remain. But if it does not conform then it should be removed. Sbowers3 (talk) 00:00, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

There are some references here: http://www.planningpoker.com/references.html. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.108.133.200 (talk) 13:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Saying so here (on the Talk page) doesn't help. What's needed is in the article page to add inline citations to reliable sources. Sbowers3 (talk) 15:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Contesting the proposed deletion

I'm going to have to disagree with the proposed deletion. As noted above, it is an accurate description of an estimating method that works well. The article does need to be cleaned up to point to proper references, and should also be re-written / re-organized to indicate that it's an estimation method, not just some obscure card game. Now, I guess I should probably do so... Shanemcd (talk) 21:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Note from the original author

I could include citations and page references from Mike Cohn's book about ancoring and planning poker - is that ok? dave who walks (talk) 16;30, 1st February 2008 (GMT)

It's probably okay in its current form. Thanks to other editors for providing references. I turned them into footnotes which all show up in the References section. It's always good to have more references but the ones there are good enough to show notability and verifiability. The IEEE reference is a very good indication of notability.
