This article was flagged in July for its low quality sourcing and neutrality, and yes, many sources seem to be largely self-promotional in nature. There seems to be little notable coverage outside of niche poker media outlets. In addition, 'Cardplayer Lifestyle' and 'The Orbit', the subject's apparent media creations, do not themselves appear to be notable enough to have their own articles.

• Delete. I don't think the subject meets WP:NBIO. Very little is written about him, and the awards and other achievements also seem to fall short of our standards. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:25, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: To be niche is not a problem. We keep articles on things notable in their niche. —¿philoserf? (talk) 14:30, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Agree with Iskandar323 MaskedSinger (talk) 12:00, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• delete I was trying to put together a list of sources that meet WP:N, but all the ones I could find (including the article) were either (high-quality) blog posts or otherwise self-published, interviews, or passing mentions. I don't see WP:N being met. Hobit (talk) 22:10, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Promotional, no independent quality sources to indicate notability. Pawnkingthree (talk) 21:51, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Niche but interesting. Regarding WP:N there are articles from established sources: Las Vegas Review Journal, The Wichita Eagle, Israel National News, The Jerusalem Post. BenjaminResnick (talk) 10:25, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment BenjaminResnick You break out of 6 year hiatus to vote keep. Not a good look. MaskedSinger (talk) 15:20, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment MaskedSinger Yeah, I'm not a regular editor. Maybe that's why I've never come across a delete conversation before. It was so out of place that it got me to look up my user name and figure out the shorthand. Why even bother deleting this? (other editors: sorry if this should have been a private discussion) BenjaminResnick (talk) 19:45, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I came across this page and review the sources. The page presents quite a bunch of high exposure medias who cover his career. I stumble upon this one from Calvin Ayre: https://calvinayre.com/2017/01/19/poker/robbie-strazynski-kids-kicking-cancer-running-well-campaign/ . As far as I know such high level media isn't interviewing everyone, this leads me to think request for keep remains legit Flore1012 (talk) 06:20, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment One user coming out of the woodwork to vote keep is misfortune, two is carelessness. No such thing as coincidences. MaskedSinger (talk) 10:44, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this SPI/Check User worthy? MaskedSinger (talk) 10:47, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean. Good pointer. Something I'll now look out for in AfDs and other discussions. Iskandar323 (talk) 14:32, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
