Ad, no evidence of notability. Delete --Peta 04:09, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete reads like an ad. Should actually be speedied with no assertion of notability. A shame, its well written though. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 06:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Lack of references is bothering me, otherwise I'd be more inclined to think this could be a part of Wikipedia.UberCryxic 04:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

* i say keep it. It is a good summary of a growing sport. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.217.186.171 (talk • contribs)

I'm the author of the article, considering Battlefield Live is a new and growing sport, I am unable to give references that aren't primarily about the equipment and perks of the sport, which, if I linked or provided, could be misconstrued as advertising, I'm able to give references from the actual company who originally created the game system, but again, it could be considered advertising or generally biased, please advise me how to proceed.— Preceding unsigned comment added by SanjuroDP (talk • contribs)
I've added the references section to this article in hopes of saving it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by SanjuroDP (talk • contribs)
Comment "new and growing sport" automatically implies a lack of notability. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 03:02, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Added new 2 new references, one of which to counter "Notability" debate, will also add external links soon linking various official Television and News coverage on Battlefield Live in hopes of ending the question of prominance on Battlefield Live.
