Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to poker. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.
[edit] Scope and GoalsTo provide a place for editors interested in editing poker articles to discuss issues related to those articles, to encourage editors to improve poker articles and to organise collaboration on poker articles.
[edit] Assessment projectParticipate in the assessment of poker articles. [edit] Biography article notability criteria
WP:BIO is the Wikipedia notability criteria for biography articles. Any poker player who meets the general criteria of WP:BIO qualifies for a Wikipedia article. For purposes of notability, Wikiproject Poker does not consider the Additional Criteria for Athletes to be valid for poker players. The project considers a poker player generally notable only by:
Other poker players must be able to establish their notability via secondary sources and the normal guidelines as defined by WP:BIO. Winning other major tournaments (including but not limited to Aussie Millions, USPO, Legends of Poker, LA Poker Classic, Foxwoods, National Titles (including the US)) is not in and of itself sufficient notability to warrant an article, but can help establish a player's notability. As most poker tournaments are open events, participating in or "making the money" rarely adds to (let alone establishes) the notability of a poker player. On-line poker players must be able to establish notability independent of the poker sites they play on and sites that simply track online results. WP:1E is a section of the guideline that deals with individual notability. As a guideline, it is not a policy that has to be followed, especially if there is reason not to. WP:1E generally does not work for WSOP/WPT/EPT/Poker Hall of Famers. First, WP:1E reads If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. These tournaments are the epitome of the poker world and winning one makes the individual instantly notable in the poker world. Second, some might argue that if a person is only notable for winning a single WSOP bracelet or WPT event, then we should simply redirect their name to the specific event they won? The problem with that approach is that many people will be looking up specific players already knowing that they have won a WPT/EPT/WSOP event and want to know if they have achieved more. If their name simply redirects to the event, then that does not tell the reader if the player has accomplished more in their career or if nobody has created an article on them. By creating a stub, even to simply say that the person never accomplished another thing, you provide the reader with valuable information not contained in a simple redirect.

[edit] Adopt an articleAdopting an article indicates that you are willing to monitor and nurture an article. It would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. It would also mean being available to answer any questions/concerns others might have about the article. It does not, however, grant you ownership over the article. Everyone can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too. The idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced. If you wish to adopt an article, please watch the page and add the following to the article's talk page:
This template will let others know that you are a subject matter expert on the page and are available to help resolve any concerns/questions. [edit] ParticipantsWe invite you to visit our page for participants to tell us where you are located and a little bit about your poker background.
