When I first saw PySol and read about it being a relatively well-known FOSS solitaire game, I was expecting to find ample coverage about the software and its details, but after grinding the Internet for hours, to my horror, the coverage is disappointingly lacking. Yes, this article is mostly well-sourced, but most of these nineteen sources are primary sources, rather than secondary ones needed to establish notability. I have made one edit to the article using a secondary source, and since then, I was unable to find any other meaningful secondary sources explaining why the software is notable. A sad discovery, but no one said that the truth was beautiful. FreeMediaKid! 04:38, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

- Merge/redirect though I'm not sure of a good target but it would be a list of something like solitaire games or games written in Python. I don't know if we have such. I think there's enough sourcing to be on such a list and thus a searchable term, just not a standalone article. --Masem (t) 04:43, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. We don't have lists of freeware in which the items are not independently notable, so that route is out. It isn't mentioned in another article so as to warrant a redirect. The article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. czar 06:40, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect per Masem. A few solitaire games are valid search terms. Otherwise has no significant coverage from reliable independent sources. Jontesta (talk) 16:01, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
