Delete nn autobiography. Only claim to notability is that he won the non-notable regional heat of a competition. He was unplaced in the actual notable competition Mayalld (talk) 07:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails notability. Only claims to notability are wining regional heat, and being interviewed for a Seattle metropolitan magazine, LK (talk) 08:29, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Has perfect notability. Editors are bias and lack proper education on subject. 216.52.179.197 (talk) 08:33, 7 January 2009 (UTC) — 216.52.179.197 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Keep As a citizen of Madras I can say that his popularity here makes him notable. I know that he bagan playing in 2006 and since then has become a big image in central Oregon representing professional gaming. 67.135.36.99 (talk) 09:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC) — 67.135.36.99 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete Google only comes up with 68 hits, a lot of which are different parts of his own webcomic site. Considering professional gaming is something you'd expect to be extensively covered on the Internet, this number is especially small. All news coverage of him except for the Kotaku reference is regional, which isn't enough to establish notability. Orbital Delegate (talk) 10:21, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Orbital Delegate. Decltype (talk) 15:06, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment New contributors should read up on notability as it pertains to Wikipedia (click on the link to do so). Notability is proven using citations to a variety of third-party reliable sources. It is up to the authors of the article to establish the subject's notability. Unfortunately, we can't just take your word for it. Good luck. Katr67 (talk) 17:29, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete May be notable to a local area (Seattle, specifically) but not to the general reader. --MASEM 16:22, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
