Non-notable article that cites no sources and for which I can find none in reliable book sources, such as Arnold, Parlett, Morehead and Mott-Smith. It appears to be merely a variation of Yukon being promoted commercially online. Bermicourt ( talk) 12:09, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

- Delete per nom, basically. Delete as a non-notable patience variant failing WP:GNG with no reliable independent in-depth sources. I have no clue where to look for in-depth coverage of the topic, so I defer to nom's book review on this. Web hits do not look GNG-compatible and mostly look like implementations and guides. — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 12:30, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
- Weak delete, I found nothing to suggest WP:GNG. There's quite a few mentions in google, but nothing seems to be reliable and/or significant coverage. The variation doesn't seem to be notable at all, so a possible redirect to List of patience games wouldn't make sense. I found almost nothing on Newspapers.com or various encyclopedias. The Encyclopedia of Play mentions "Alaska" in passing as a variation of Solitaire, but goes on to say "Counting all of the variations, the total Solitaire game repertoire is over 1,000", suggesting that just existing doesn't establish notability.
