On 26 May 2025, it was proposed that this article be moved from Chicken Ranch Casino to Chicken Ranch Casino Resort. The result of the discussion was moved.

Requested move 26 May 2025

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. I've just closed the AfD as keep. Since that was the only thing holding up this move, I think there's no need to wait for a full seven days. (closed by non-admin page mover) Toadspike [Talk] 11:46, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Chicken Ranch Casino → Chicken Ranch Casino Resort – According to the casino resort's official website, the name is Chicken Ranch Casino Resort. I am not moving the page because the article currently is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chicken Ranch Casino, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#Wikietiquette says:

While there is no prohibition against moving an article while an AfD or deletion review discussion is in progress, editors considering doing so should realize such a move can confuse the discussion greatly, can preempt a closing decision, can make the discussion difficult to track, and can lead to inconsistencies when using semi-automated closing scripts.

... that the Chicken Ranch Bingo once showcased 600 arrowheads on a wall?

Source: Frank, Russell (1992-11-22). "Bingo — $5 billion a year business across U.S. Waiting, hoping, daubing in vain" (pages 1 and 2). The Modesto Bee. Archived from the original (pages 1 and 2) on 2025-05-26. Retrieved 2025-05-26 – via Newspapers.com.
The article notes: "I never even came close. And sometime during my fourth hour of Chicken Ranch Bingo, I concluded that losing at bingo is profoundly boring. ... The lobby and the gift shop feature a curious mix of Indian and bingo-related items. On one wall is a display of 600 arrowheads."

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Expanded from 580 B to 5780 B in the past three days. Even if we count the 556 B in the bulleted list, expansion meets the 5x standard. The hookiness is that the unfamiliar will have some impression that the sharp objects are pointing away from the wall. I noticed a discrepancy of $1.4m (ref 1) and $1.6m (ref 3), but the latter covers not just construction, but also paying employees. Otherwise, nothing worth writing home about. We'll have to wait for the AFD to close before this can be approved. ミラP@Miraclepine 15:42, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Miraclepine, I've closed the AfD, you can move ahead with this DYK now. Toadspike [Talk] 11:47, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- ALT0 approved. Thanks, Toadspike! ミラP@Miraclepine 15:38, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
