I have been unable to find significant coverage of this card game in reliable sources. I do not think a redirect would be appropriate because there's no mention of Ponytail Canasta in the main Canasta article. Also per WP:NOTHOWTO. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:43, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Delete sadly. I could find no WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 23:55, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Merge to Canasta. A quick survey of google, gnews, and gbooks shows there are plenty of references to this to verify it exists, even though I see nothing to suggest it is notable. A brief mention at the main Canasta article, with this redirected there, would be sufficient invitation for anyone who likes it enough to expand, possibly spin it out later if notability can be established.

  • :I would agree, but I haven't been able to find sourcing that's reliable and adequate to even write a full sentence other than to say "something by this name exists" in the main Canasta article. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:16, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
  • ::That's adequate, since Canasta is unquestionably notable. Jclemens (talk) 09:13, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Can any of these sourcess rescue the article: [https://canastarules.org/blog/how-to-play-ponytail-canasta-a-quick-start-guide-and-game-rules-overview/] [https://irenebaron.com/blogs/irene-baron-blog/posts/6025494/pony-canasta-a-new-family-favorite-card-game] [https://www.getmega.com/rummy/learn/canasta/] [https://members.tripod.com/card_games/pony_tail.htm].

  • :None of those seem reliable to me, unfortunately. The first two a labeled as WP:BLOGS, the third is an {{tq|online gaming platform}}, and the fourth is from an [https://members.tripod.com/card_games/ extremely web 1.0] with no indication of who wrote it, which I would imagine is self published.
