Does not meet WP:GNG. The only reference is to a webpage containing the rules of the game. This does not speak to notability. ubiquity (talk) 19:55, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'd refer to the Chinese Wikipedia page 大概路子. I don't have the source myself of how many people play it, but I'm telling you it's not small. It's well-known in Shanghai, and I think it would be familiar to a good part of China. I don't have a reference, but I also think it's worth keeping longer before deletion. Maybe someone can fill that in.

My main concern is the English name. The Chinese Pinyin would write it as Daguai Luzi (not DaGuai LuZi as in the original article, which I redirected to here.). Wild Escape is not the name that I've heard -- I've heard "The Joker's Way" which would be the literal translation of 大怪路子. However, I believe that the original author (User:Beautifulsummerdays) who wrote [DaGuai Luzi History] would be better placed to explain it. I just tried to improve the English.

Hope that helps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pier440 (talk • contribs) 14:07, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now. Apparently there's regular tournaments for it with local media coverage, so there has to be at least a high degree of prominence in China. Possibly a systemic bias: it is easier to recall variants of Texas Hold Em' played on World Series of Poker in the English-speaking world. - Mailer Diablo 23:22, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
