Dallas Gaming Mafia

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No reliable sources for this alleged term. The one citation is from the website of a company on this list. Has been tagged with 'refimprove' since 2008. Googling "dallas gaming mafia" -wikipedia yields ~2200 results, suggesting this is a self-congratulatory in-joke, or neologism if you will, posted on Wikipedia to try to popularize the term.

Delete - self-dubbed term that, judging by the zero hits at Google Books or the VG/RS search, has not been adpoted by anyone else. Marasmusine (talk) 17:50, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - At first I though it was the name of a clan or something, seems not. Not notable... Skullbird11 (talk) 18:11, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No reliable sources to satisfy WP:GNG. Only hits are unreliable, blogs, forums, etc. The term has not received any notable media attention. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 20:09, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The only "source" for this appears to be the one barely-attributable quote given as a reference (The "Dallas gaming mafia," as the group's been dubbed... dubbed by whom?!). Appears to be a hapax legomenon that lacks encyclopedic value. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:41, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
