U.S. National Video Game Team

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Despite the name, no recognized official status. Very little non-trivial coverage in reliable sources to establish any sort of notability; had a brief run of limited attention in the 80s, and nearly none since. Most (if not all) of the links in the timeline to twingalaxies.com are broken. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:28, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The U.S. National Video game team was registered for Trademark and rebooted 8-7-2015 Since the announcement of the reboot, we've been working on compiling historical articles, with the intent to add them to this page. Since our first small edits, this page, has been near constantly edited and put up for deletion. It makes absolutely no sense to me that a page that has been here for as long as this page has existed, has been put up for deletion over and over again. Myself an original member of the team in 1983 Tim McVey, along with Patrick Scott Patterson are attempting to preserve the history of the first original video game team in the country. We have the documents, we can't put them up yet. We do not wish to violate copyright in doing so. We are working on securing permission and following procedures to update the page in the correct manner. This process takes time. We would like for the page to NOT be deleted in the mean time. The original team was founded with several specific goals. We wanted to raise money for charity was one of them. Our bus tour in 1983 was to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. The other purpose of the team in 1983 was to challenge other countries around the world, to create a national team to represent their country, and to engage in friendly completion among the different nations National teams. This part never came to fruition. We are attempting to reboot the team, the name, preserve the legacy of the original members and historic events, and modernize for todays world and pursue similar goals as the original team had planned. With all the negativity online, GamerGate etc related to video games...we will be striving for the best in gaming. Positive team members. Members who embody the vision of promoting gaming in a positive manner. This does not happen overnight. Give us a chance. Help us make this page correctly. We are willing to take the time, to read and research, and make this page an addition to Wikipedia. We definitely want to get it removed from stub status. But right now, we can't seem to go more than 5 minutes without somebody editing out content, or putting the page up for deletion.

Comment Please read our policy on notability. This issue isn't whether or not something exists, but rather if it meets the criteria outlined in that policy. Primary sources (e.g., press releases) do not count toward notability; see WP:Reliable sources. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:17, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So how can I fix it, if you CONSTANTLY change it? While I am in the middle of editing it? Sprinter461 (talk) 00:29, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
