Fails WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:ORGCRIT. All of the coverage of the subject seems to be local media, and most of it is routine and insignificant. - MrX 🖋 12:41, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Keep it is of historical relevance to Emeryville, California and we have articles on Artichoke Joe's, Casino San Pablo, and Graton Casino all in the Bay Area, I know the article is a stub and I know it is new, but we should be more inclusive, this article has two solid sources from the San Jose Mercury News which make it meet the GNG.Ndołkah☆ (talk) 12:45, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
Delete A couple of news sources don't necessarily establish notability, especially when they are based on a one-time past event - beyond the criminal issues, everything is extremely brief. Nwlaw63 (talk) 20:23, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
- Sure it's a brief stub but it has 2 reliable sources in major newsource.Ndołkah☆ (talk) 22:09, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

- Weak keep Certainly a poor article in need of cleanup. But, another good local piece, in the Wall Street Journal, along with the existing refs, makes me favor keeping it. Much of the news coverage regards the banking act violation, but it was certainly prominent. Regardless, there are a few reviews of the place, and according to the local piece I linked, the club has been around since 1896 and provides 8% of the tax revenue of Emeryville.

- Keep Yes, keep. Passes GNG. The article just needs some epic improvement. I'm dropping some reliable secondary sources on the talk page of the article. (Fun fact: I've been to the Oaks Card Club!). Missvain (talk) 05:36, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Also, please note that the two gambling news sites that pop up at the top of the Google News feed are considered reliable secondary sources in the world of gambling (from personal experience and a journalist who has covered Vegas). Missvain (talk) 05:46, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
