The result was redirect to Monopoly (game). Anything worth merging (the article creator themselves seems to doubt there is anything) is still available from the history. Randykitty (talk) 17:55, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Last AfD, ten years ago, concluded with keeping the article until a merge target could be found. A merge target has not been found in ten years, so this article should just be deleted or redirected now. wumbolo ^^^ 19:28, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom.Merge to Monopoly edit - changing !vote based on argument advanced by Andrew D.. The sources in the article itself are don't provide significant coverage and my BEFORE is unable to find anything different. Chetsford (talk) 22:13, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The topic is notable being analysed in detail in numerous works including The Mathematics of Games; Monopoly Strategy; Monopoly: The Story Behind the World's Best-Selling Game; Applying Data Science; The Monopoly Companion, &c. And there's an obvious alternative to deletion, which we would prefer per our policy WP:PRESERVE – merger to a page such as Monopoly (game). Note that the page gets over 50 views per day and so there is a significant readership. Andrew D. (talk) 22:21, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Can be covered in the article on monopoly, no reason for a seperate article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:50, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Monopoly and components thereof are of major cultural significance, which makes this topic is clearly notable. As these components are also used in other games, there is also no appropriate merge topic. I would also note that prior to the last AfD, Chance cards and Community Chest cards were both merged into this article, meaning that the history of this article goes back to 2005. There are plenty of sources available to expand this topic, and there is no deadline for doing so. Brad v 04:42, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the sourcing in the article seems like it passes WP:GNG, and the original article/merge candidate is already very long, so seems to me to be a valid split. SportingFlyer talk 14:50, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/Merge WP is not a dictionary or place for simple phrases with little to no major coverage. Add to the monopoly page is fitting, but its own page is a overreach. ContentEditman (talk) 16:30, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, do not merge, as creator. There is nothing of value to merge in this article and edit history is preserved at Community Chest cards and Chance cards. This article is already reproduced in its entirety at Monopoly (game), Finance (game), and The Landlord's Game. Axem Titanium (talk) 22:43, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
