Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Video games and Vietnam. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 14:55, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm seeing sources from ESPN, The Rift Herald and The Esports Observer that cover the topic. Would these sources count without failing WP:SYNTH or WP:OR? PantheonRadiance (talk) 09:40, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

None of those actually cover the subject. The first and third are about Vietnam getting its own independent region in League of Legends esports, meaning they get spots in the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) and World Championship. The second is covers the 2019 MSI taking place in Taiwan. The performances of these teams in the MSI are better to be covered on their respective articles. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 15:04, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Mid-Season Invitational. There's no reliable sources demonstrated that suggest specifically Vietnamese teams are notable outside the wider League esports. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 21:23, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as per suggestion above. Cortador (talk) 06:59, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - @Cortador and David Fuchs: What exactly from this article would be merged? The article is filled with tables of WP:FANCRUFT. I don't believe any of it is suitable for merging to Mid-Season Invitational. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 07:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree that there's not enough here for an article. I also agree that there's nothing worth merging. In favor of whatever has the consensus to eliminate a stand alone article. (I dont wish to split the vote and have it be a "no consensus".) Sergecross73 msg me 12:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
