Fails Notability. SkyWalker (talk) 13:33, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No independent sources to verify the tour, and the tour's website is just a forum. Borderline for a speedy delete as a non-notable website, accordingly. —C.Fred (talk) 13:42, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of video game related deletions. MrKIA11 (talk) 13:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Some quick Google sleuthing makes it painfully clear (if the article hadn't accomplished it already) that notability is absent.--Koji† 15:13, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Considering the proportionality of the 2008 StarCraft tournament, and the number of players participating in it (4k players), not to mention the article existing for a very long time now, it is notable. On a side note, please understand that Google searching is NOT used in debates anymore, just thought I should throw that out there for you Koji.--4.245.74.32 (talk) 16:15, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — I, too, cannot find any verifiable sources to establish notability of the tour; I get nothing but forums. It doesn't matter if the article has been hiding for years and someone just noticed now – that is not a reason to keep the article (neither is WP:THISNUMBERISHUGE).

Keep. Recognized by Reenactor Entertainment, Blizzard Entertainment, and others.--4.245.73.195 (talk) 19:11, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - I'd like to apologize if the article I spent 2 hours making is not good enough for Wikipedia, several other people will come and make it better however.--— Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeroFanMission (talk • contribs)

Delete. No notability asserted in article, nor found with a Google search. It's also pretty obvious that the above keep votes are forum-driven (and wrong, too - not using Google searches for AfDs? What?) Tan | 39 20:27, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Save. Unless you can say "We don't care about the customer." on the main page, I suggest you keep it.--4.245.21.242 (talk) 22:45, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Save. I did not come from http://www.igtour.pro.tc/ but I learned about the IGT on another wiki and decided to look up more information on Wikipedia about it, if that designates any notability since other wikis have articles about it.--4.244.3.216 (talk) 02:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
