• Keep Succeeds WP:BLP1E and quite possibly also WP:SPORTCRIT with two major cashes let alone being at the final table of the Main Event (the world's biggest poker tournament). PsychoticIncall (talk) 11:29, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. These two sources provide plenty of sigcov. Additionally, the advice at WikiProject Poker suggests that poker players who win more than a million dollars in a single event at an established tournament are "generally notable". These sources from the article show that he won over $2.5 million in the 2016 WSOP $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event. I believe this is enough to establish that Ruane is notable. P.S. I've copyedited the page, in case the extra spaces were bothering anyone. Toadspike [Talk] 09:15, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  This source from the dewiki article might also qualify as sigcov. Though much of the content is similar to the other two long sources, at first glance it isn't a straight copy/paste or summary of them. Toadspike [Talk] 09:32, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
