Mew2King[edit]

Unnotable video game player, sadly it does have an assertion of notability so it cant be speedied but there are no sources to back up the claim and I am not sure how notable being good a Super smash bros' makes you. A Google search for his name and his alias[1] brings up only a very few hits, none of which are reliable. According to http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Mew2King the competitions he has participated in are Smash Panel Power Rankings and the North Atlantic Regional Power Rankings neither of which has an article so both are probably unnotable. - Icewedge (talk) 06:55, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:N and is one big unverifiable claim. MrKIA11 (talk) 11:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails notability horribly. Do we even have articles on competitive SSB play in the first place? --erachima talk 11:35, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(Speedy) Delete. Honestly, I would have speedied this, as saying you're the world's best video game player is right up there with those cutest/smartest schoolkid articles that always get deleted within milliseconds of creation. But whether speedily or not, definitely delete: not notable, fails WP:BIO, etc etc etc Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:46, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, though a claim of being the world's best video game player is a claim of notability that trumps the Speedy Deletion criteria. And, you know what, if there was significant coverage of that championship, with reliable sources and everything, I might be inclined to keep - but that's not the case here. No objection to a properly sourced article about this individual, particularly if they end up being notable - we already have some professional video gamers, such as Ola Moum, Fatal1ty, and Billy Mitchell (gamer), so an article of this type isn't out of the realm of possibility - but there just isn't enough here.

Delete per WP:SNOW and WP:OR. Better articles than this have already been deleted. MuZemike (talk) 22:29, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note — Mew2King has his own account at Wikia and has edited his own article (see Wikia article history). While that conflict of interest does not equate to a problem here or even there, it may be something to lookout for. MuZemike (talk) 19:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
