Infrared marked cards

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

One of three unsourced invention articles by this author. No credible assertion that the subject actually exists. Appears to be an SEO play to direct searches to this guy's website (infraredmarkedcards/invisibleinkmarkedcards .com). See also: Poker analyzer and Infrared contact lenses. I AfD'd this one instead of speedying it because I think these might exist, just not in the way described. Jergling (talk) 15:49, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Totally unreferenced spam. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:37, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
SNOW Delete as no chances at all of acceptance, because this is something suitable for a social media or otherwise different website, there's no genuinely convincing information or anything else for that matter, to suggest this would be acceptable.

Delete - I can't verify online that these even exist. I tried several searches and found zero possible cites. Granted, they might exist, but if they do, they are a trade secret. Bearian (talk) 20:41, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hold on - I distinctly remember having read something about this, though I cannot locate it right now. The author was a security researcher that ordered in China a "cheating pack" that included a few deck of cards marked on the side with IR-absorbing ink and a custom cell phone with an IR lamp and detector next to the headphone jack, which allowed to read the cards (a crafty feat of optical recognition). I am 99% sure it was a reliable source, so although it may still fall for lack of notability (the author said he did not find any other info about it and feared a scam), please let the AfD run for the full week.

Delete. Fails GNG and appears to be SPAM. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 12:15, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
