Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.
Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced article if they are not sourced, so your project may want to pursue the projects below.
Poker players by nationality criterion
Is it based on nationality or where they are based? Is David Steicke really a Chinese poker player simply because he's based in Hong Kong? Clarityfiend (talk) 11:16, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
Also, I have nominated Category:High-stakes poker players for deletion. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:32, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
Circuit ring holdings in infobox poker player
I'm not sure if this has been discussed prior but what about enabling a field in the infobox poker player representing a player's success on the circuit tour i.e the person's circuit rings in holding. A ring is almost as valued as a bracelet and quite the many players inherit both rings and bracelets.
Although it would be a little silly on for example Phil Hellmuth's article with 17 bracelets, and in the next row none rings, but this wouldn't be a problem as you can choose the parameters of use when implementing the infobox in an article.

Request: English page for poker player John Patgorski
Hello, I'm reaching out about creating an English Wikipedia page for John Patgorski, a high-stakes poker player who already has a German Wikipedia page: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Patgorski
He has notable tournament results, including in this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_poker_tournaments_in_history_(by_prize_pool)
He was part of a winning entry for the most recent Circa Survivor contest, see recent coverage from VSIN: https://vsin.com/circa-survivor-contest/circa-survivor-winners-celebrate-share-of-18-7-million/
Would anyone be interested in creating an English page? I can provide additional documentation if helpful.
Full disclosure: This is my brother. I'm not creating the page myself because of COI, which is why I'm requesting help from the WikiProject.
Thank you! CheeseBraid (talk) 18:02, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
