The topic is not encyclopedic, you can hardly go further than just a definition. The information could/should be merged in the broader article Elo rating system SyG (talk) 07:39, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge and redirect into Elo rating system or into K-value. The content is valid and verifiable. The only alternative would be to merge the page histories. dorftrottel (talk) 09:20, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• If the outcome of this AfD is to keep this as an article of its own, the page should be moved to K-factor (chess). dorftrottel (talk) 09:26, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - there is a similar article at K-value, which has been PROD'ed because the information is apparently already at Elo rating system. Suggest both articles are redirected and merged into Elo rating system, and suggest that the nominator consider be bold and carrying out such merging in the future instead of using PROD and coming to AfD. Merging is obvious in cases like this, and takes up much less time than PROD and AfD. Links and related information should also be added to the disambiguation page, K-factor, per Dorfrottel. I also added K-factor to K (disambiguation). Carcharoth (talk) 10:57, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Elo rating system as that article covers it already. SunCreator (talk) 11:55, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect. If there is any information in here that is not in Elo rating system, it is very little. It can be put in that article and this one can be made a redirect. Bubba73 (talk), 15:02, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect. Ditto what Bubba73 said. Krakatoa (talk) 03:25, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
