I can't find any form of notability for this "group", references are not substantial and most do not even mention them. Fails WP:GNG ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 01:10, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not seem to have significant coverage, and the article's sources are unrelated to the topic. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:08, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lots of WP:OR, while the community is growing, an article on them is not needed/not workable, it puts undue weight on specific parts of the scene, etc. TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 03:41, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The fighting game community is notable, and the subject of reliable sources such as this and this. But the subject may be better covered at Electronic sports titles by genre#Fighting games or merged to Fighting game. - hahnch e n 18:48, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
