Zyos[edit]

As per a previous AfD, I am resubmitting this. This article fails WP:BIO and is related to Major League Gaming. :: Colin Keigher (Talk) 22:05, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:BIO - all of these need to disappear. SkierRMH,22:22, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Along with the (very lengthy) Houston Press article provided on the Zyos page (which was also published in the Dallas Observer), here's an interview with IGN, and an article from GameSpot that, among other things, calls Leto "the nation's top Halo player". Want something more mainstream, less video-game-oriented? How about an article on gaming that prominently features (and has a photo of) Zyos from The New York Times. I think it's safe to say that Leto meets WP:BIO. -- Kicking222 02:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - top-tier professional gamers with signficant media attention are at least as notable as any other professional athlete or celebrity. Tarinth 17:06, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, professional gamers that get media attention are certainly notable. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 16:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Subject has never appeared in any major international competition, nor made any notable achievements and therefore fails WP:BIO. Show on USA network is sponsored by the MLG league itself and therefore not a reliable source. For clarification regarding e-Sports, view e-Sports and 2006 e-Sports World Champions -- DJiTH 23:49, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Failing one aspect of WP:BIO does not mean that the subject fails all aspects. Zyos has been the subject of multiple non-trivial written publications, the first guideline listed in WP:BIO for biographies of living persons. 206.213.209.31 20:03, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Easily meets WP:BIO. MLG features the toughest Halo 2 competitors of all leagues, and is a very widely respected league. - Stinkman 22:36, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
keep please this and other verified pro gamers are notable for bio guidelines Yuckfoo 02:34, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Rename Zyos is a very famous professional gamer therefore he is notable. I would however suggest that the article be renamed to "Matt Leto" just like the articles of other professional gamers like Johnathan Wendel and a redirect from "Zyos" to "Matt Leto" created. --Credema 11:23, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
