Pyramid (card game)

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

Non-notable product. The original game as featured on the 1970s TV show Battlestar Galactica had no "rules" and was merely improvised by the cast for each scene in which it appeared. This is a separate, commercial product which does not meet WP:GNG. Notability is not inherited. Blackberry Sorbet (talk • contribs) 23:26, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is my correct understanding, that what was on TV was just a prop. The fan game version was made after the series ended. The rules can be found from blackberry App Store. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.69.89.156 (talk) 01:51, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctantly delete. There appear to have been several fan and commercial versions of the game, but none of them, nor the prop game of the actual TV show, have sufficient independent coverage to be separately notable. Some, but not all, of this content (not the detailed rules, for example) could be merged into an appropriate Glactica article, in which case this should be retained as a redirect to preserve attributions.

The rules are copyrighted from Karl Rasmussen in 1980 according to June 2010 of this original history file. Please lets not endorse a vendors rule for our beloved show. Please remove the rules as they are not important to the history of BSG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.69.89.156 (talk) 20:36, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  - Also, a related ANI discussion rejected the copyright claim. Please not that this only relates to that particular issue not the deletion request.--174.93.163.194 (talk) 01:39, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; seems to be short of notability, and deletion is one way (although not the best way) to resolve the copyright dispute. bobrayner (talk) 17:37, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- So how do we Delete the vendor rules from the tv show. Remember this is only a prop and was never a real game other than the vendor,s claim.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.69.89.156 (talk • contribs) 02:29, 17 December 2013‎
  - Discuss it there to form a consensus to remove the info in question. If you mean remove due to claiming copyright on the rules, please note that the claim in question was already rejected in a recent ANI post earlier removals of that material. In other words, you will need a reason other that copyright to remove it.--174.93.163.194 (talk) 03:23, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - The ANI discussion is at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive822#Copyright claim on Pyramid (card game). But the issue here is the notability of the entire concept, the detailed rules are, er a detail. DES ^(talk) 01:29, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - True, but the person I was responding to also earlier suggested removing the rules as a copyright violation and I wanted to make it clear that a consensus to delete here would not be one to remove the info from related pages (the show the fictional game game from) as a copyright violation. There may be good reason to remove such info from those other articles but that would not be one of them.--174.93.163.194 (talk) 04:11, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I think this page should be kept because, I think the article should be informative to card players who play different card games like FreeCell and Solitare. Thewikiguru1 (talk) 01:33, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
