This article has no verifiability and is nothing but WP:CRUFT. WP:GNG has not been met, as there is no inclusion of actual WP:RS. {MordeKyle} ☢ 23:18, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just to add, almost every bit of information in this article is not sourced as the vast majority of references are to complexitygaming.com, or to a twitter or facebook post by one of them. {MordeKyle} ☢ 23:22, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

'Keep. One of the premier esports organizations with top-level professional teams across multiple games. A quick Google Search brings up in-depth coverage of the team, its players, storylines, lifestyle from many sources: a PC Gamer piece on its return to CSGO [1], an International Business Times piece on the history of the team and its future goals [2], a USA Today piece about the DOTA II teams' trainign regime and lifestyle [3], an ESPN story about roster changes [4] which were also covered by The Score Esports [5], GameSpot piece on its Starcraft II activity [6]. This is without going into articles that cover storyline or results of their matches such as [7], [8], [9], [10]. The article needs work, but the subject meets WP:ORG. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 17:22, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this, if you are willing to include this information in the article, I would have to withdraw my request. {MordeKyle} ☢ 20:09, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per sources provided and my own google search like Patar knight did, this definitely is notable. -- Dane ^talk 20:00, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The subject may be notable, but the article does not reflect this. {MordeKyle} ☢ 20:09, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This is one of the most prominent North American esports organizations; its notability and availability should not be called into question, by any stretch of the imagination. As for MordeKyle's replies to the keep votes, I would say this is a poorly-constructed article deserving significant work, about a worthy subject. AfD is certainly not the answer.

@DarthBotto:I'm asking only because I want to learn, what is the answer? The page is full of what is effectively WP:CRUFT and is nothing more than a very unsourced list of people. Maintenance tags have been ineffective in changing things. I'm genuinely curious. {MordeKyle} ☢ 00:32, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would bring the article to the Article Rescue Squadron and explain that it's about a notable subject, but poorly composed and sourced. This one requires bold action, as it has every reason to remain, but hasn't been given proper treatment. DARTHBOTTO_talk•cont 00:55, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
