Speedy deletion of "Planet Poker"

A page you created, Planet Poker, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a website, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for websites in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Porterjoh (talk) 15:37, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Planet Poker

Hi, do you have references other than the interview? Unfortunately, Wikipedia cannot use personal interviews as sources per our verifiability policy and original research policy. JoshuaZ (talk) 15:48, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi:

Sorry, I'm rather new at all this... I can get Randy Blumer to email you with this information. I can also confirm it as I was (and still am) the senior systems engineer for Planet Poker when it first launched. Our interest in publishing this article is not to advertise Planet Poker. Its just that (I think) the early history of online poker is significant and should be published as many people would find it very interesting. Since the early history of online poker basically started with Planet Poker it is "difficult" to cite references other than the recollections of the people who were there. I hope to expand on the history of online poker by adding articles about other early cardrooms as well, if I can track down the people who started them

If I can come up with references to issues of Card Player magazine, Poker Europa magazine etc that support this article would that be sufficient to keep it around?

Such references would be much more helpful. However, if you are connected to this organization you may also want to check out our conflict of interest guideline. JoshuaZ (talk) 16:10, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
