Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Strategic luck

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Idiosyncratic term. It's not used in formal game theory. A google search suggests it's not in popular use, either. That leaves... nowhere, as far as I can tell. Isomorphic 19:00, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete: idiosyncratic neologism. I haven't seen this term in print, and a Google search doesn't substantiate it. Wile E. Heresiarch 02:36, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Appears to be a neologism from an OCT 2001 Mississippi State University report on "The War on Terrorism." Three years later "strategic luck" still only gets 26 hits. Delete. SWAdair | Talk 02:43, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • Occasional use before that (I found it in a Ueenet archive discussion of Robert Jordan's books in 1999... definitely hitting the big time, here)... but it doesn;t seem worth keeping. Delete. -FZ 14:58, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: What?! It appears in games such as Magic: The Gathering and Puerto Rico? Puerto Rico is a game? It's lucky? What? Make it go away. Geogre 03:45, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Strategically duck and delete. Ianb 05:53, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • I've played Puerto Rico, and there's strategy and pure luck involved, not strategic luck. Seems like a load of rubbish, stubbed up to look like a real theory. Delete. Wooster 19:01, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
