Non-notable Neologism that is not backed up by reliable, published sources. Teancum (talk) 14:25, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am confident that the information presented is true, but it is really such a minor topic. Besides not being backed up by published sources. Better to just mention this aspect in Gaming clan. Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:20, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the article is just a lengthy statement that "a multi gaming clan is a gaming clan for multiple games". Not a potential encyclopedia topic or even a potential dictionary definition. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

20-Mule Team Delete: Err, let me see ... an article about these tiresome "gaming clans," sourced by their own websites. EPIC FAIL of any manner of verifiability or notability. Ravenswing 10:12, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no claim of notability. 'Multi-gaming clan is a group of people that play computer games' = not notable. MLA (talk) 10:24, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect to Clan (computer gaming) or other suitable target instead of delete. The concept or topic itself exists, several independent groups use the terms "multigaming clan" (394,000 ghits), "multi-gaming clan" (268,000 ghits), "multigaming team" (100,000 ghits), "multi-gaming team" (15,000 ghits). The material merged would need to be properly sourced, but that is cleanup. [1] refers to Team Dignitas as a "multi-gaming team". The The Book of Games Volume 2: The Ultimate Reference on PC & Video Games uses the term "Teams or Clans" and has no mention of "Multigaming" or "Multi-gaming". Google Scholar finds the German paper Jugendliche Gemeinschaften in der virtuellen Gemeinschaft-Eine qualitative untersuchung der Counter Strike Clans with "Multi-gaming clan". Apart from that one book I could only find German and English books with: "clan", "gaming clan", or "team". -84user (talk) 12:22, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect to clans if it cant stay on its own page please.

Hi guys, I started the page Multi Gaming Clan as its a large part of online gaming for a lot of people. i feel the subject has a place on wiki and should stay! Look at the stats for how many people search for multi gaming clans and teams and you will see its a widely used and search term!

If your that unhappy about it having its page please advice on which page you guys think it would be better moved to and I will copy it all over to the correct parts of said page. I.E. start a section for multi gaming, move external links to correct part, add resources etc.

Thanks for giving me the chance to keep the page/content as I have worked hard on this page and I think I have done quite well for my first page on wiki GSL-Nathan (talk) 13:00, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
