MoG (person)

This is a vanity page with major WP:COI concerns. Had I discovered it first, I would have speedied it, however the speedy tag was removed in good faith. It was subsequently readded whence I discovered it in CAT:CSD, but generally a speedy tag shouldn't be applied twice, so here it is. This article should be deleted as a non-notable bio of a living person. Keeper | 76 18:56, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a joke, right? Totally inappropriate for an encyclopedia. DarkAudit (talk) 19:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per nom. RogueNinja_talk 19:25, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, preferably speedily, as per nom. I added the second speedy tag, unaware it had already been added. Qwghlm (talk) 19:33, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, clearly a vanity site --Jamiew (talk) 19:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete - should have been a speedy all along. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Definite Keep - Do you think this is a joke? MoG was one of the most serious gamers in the country for the past half decade. You should treat him with much more respect.Mogowner (talk) 21:50, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mogowner (and I'm sure your username is just a coincidence, MoG wouldn't write an article about himself, would he? </sarcasm>). See my message on your talkpage. Keeper | 76 21:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keeper, I am not MoG - just a big fan of his. MoG has had more tournament winnings than about 3 others Smash tournament players in the US. He certainly is a notable figure. I don't see how his field of expertise, gaming, makes him irrelevant in an encyclopedia.Mogowner (talk) 22:03, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, you're not MoG, you just own him? Keeper | 76 22:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BIO. No coverage in reliable sources found. Barno (talk) 22:04, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Considering that pro gamers can make 5 or 6 figures a year if they're good enough, this is only above "just zis guy, y'know", and just as non-notable. DarkAudit (talk) 22:12, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As a fellow Smash gamer I can say without a doubt that MoG has one of the best work ethics in all of Smash Brothers. The gaming community and I respect him as one of the elites among Smash Brothers, and it would be a shame to see his page deleted. Gregor04 (talk) 22:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please read this. Keeper | 76 22:25, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You may think what you wish, but deleting this page will dishearten all of MoG's fans.Gregor04 (talk) 22:29, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to hear that. I still say delete. Keeper | 76 22:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No sources cited. No data about any alleged tournament history. jonathon (talk) 23:21, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete zero notability and almost certainly a vanity/WP:COI case (see creator's username). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Google search shows a few pages of unrelated things: a music-based community website, some companies, museums of glass, the Morgan Owners Group (I didn't check whether it's the horse breed or the three-wheeled British car), and so forth before we get to online people, and the first few are apparently about other topics such as Asian matters, "momblog", and so on. Even among supposedly real humans, Maureen O'Gara (tech quasi-journalist) hits far higher for having her published errors discussed on Groklaw than this kid scores. Average winnings $50 per tournament? My grandma does better at Bingo. Searching deeper than this morning, I still find no evidence of meeting the verifiability policy and the notability guidelines.

Delete "He found his perfect match in the ice cream catering business,[4] where he makes as much as $10 USD an hour, including tips." ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 01:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daigo Umehara (third nomination). JuJube (talk) 09:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete, not notable. NawlinWiki (talk) 13:05, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
