Non-notable professional gamer. Ridernyc (talk) 05:16, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

• Keep If it is not a reliable source, what are the reliable sources for the gaming community? All of the sources noted are not from printed publications, but still are incredibly reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.187.234.230 (talk) 16:23, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

this is this ip's only edit on the project. Looks like the meatpupets are coming out. Ridernyc (talk) 16:36, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

• Note These debates are being discussed off wiki here [2] I now know why so SPA's have been active on these pages. Ridernyc (talk) 01:24, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Keep This article is notable enough to be included in russian wikipedia, then why not in the english wikipedia? [3] Redefining history (talk) 11:16, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

• Not a valid argument. Like you've been told before WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS; when you say things like this, it could very well just mean that the other one needs to be deleted as well. (I can't make a call on that, I don't know Russian. I just know that it's not relevant here.) Sergecross73 msg me 13:15, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Different Wikipedias have different inclusion criteria. Once again stop grasping st straws. we care about one thing substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources. That's it stop it with all this other stuff. Just give us sources. You now have an entire team of people helping and we still have not seen one source that establishes notability. You just need to face the reality that these people are not notable. Ridernyc (talk) 14:00, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

And if you look that article on Wikipedia.ru is 3 days old. This has hit the point of being just a silly waste of time. Ridernyc (talk) 14:03, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

• Delete no evidence that they meet GNG or are notable. -DJSasso (talk) 18:43, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
• Delete: The subject fails the GNG. Are there any reliable sources any proponent wishes to cite, not counting gaming blogs? It is well-established policy that it is not enough to claim that surely there must be reliable sources out there, somewhere, maybe, possibly, hopefully. Such sources must be produced. They have not been. Ravenswing 13:27, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
• Delete per the above, though WP:USUAL applies as well - this is a growing field, and it's likely that sources about some professional gamers may become available in the future. Until then, however... UltraExactZZ ^Said ~ Did 19:58, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
