This person does not satisfy the requirements of WP:GNG or WP:SIGCOV, even though he’s mentioned in articles dealing with companies with which he’s involved. By himself, there's not enough for a biographical article. In its current form it's largely a puff piece, with claims that the subject is visionary, etc, which I unsuccessfully tried to tone down. But even if all that were to be removed (again), there isn't any real notability. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 03:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the only cited WP:RS that names him is the Rappler story. Though not mentioned in the WP page he did make the national news after being charged in an alleged methamphetamine trafficking scheme although he was subsequently cleared.[1] [2] The PhilStar article (#2) is pretty good for biography and involvement in esports and doesn't mention him being involved in content production. I just don't know enough about esports to say if he's notable for that. Oblivy (talk) 03:44, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to include contributions in the Lords Mobile and Clash Royale Mobile Game community, as he is really an icon in Esports Industry in the Philippines. akosiken (talk) 16:58, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no evidence of notability from RS coverage, repeated attempts to spam this article - see also Bernard Chong. Salt both. At best, redirect to Bren Esports - David Gerard (talk) 11:11, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How come it's a spam article, how can i discuss other companies he invested or even those movies or animations he produce? Those things are no longer Bren Esports related. akosiken (talk) 16:59, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
One start would be to find reliable sources showing he is known for this other activity. Those sections of the article link to content that doesn't mention his name.

May I ask if you have a connection to the article subject? Others have mentioned WP:COI and your edit history shows you have recently only focused on this article and Bren Esports Oblivy (talk) 02:14, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Does not satisfy WP:NBIO. NPOV issues smell like a COI as well. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 14:22, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, and salt all variants to prevent recreation. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 01:53, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment while not completely relevant in this case (since this deals with an unrelated article), the primary contributor has also heavily edited another article which has been raised as a possible COI (and since been speedily deleted as WP:G11). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.147.67.216 (talk) 07:32, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt per nom and possible COI issues. ParadaJulio (talk) 10:08, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
