The result was delete. Additional sourcing were insufficient to carry the argument, and the MTG criteria don't override the GNG. -- Euryalus (talk) 11:42, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fails GNG and BLP. Article sourced entirely to the website of the Wizards of the Coast game company. LavaBaron (talk) 12:57, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2016 August 3. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 13:15, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Cheon meets the GNG. There is coverage of him out there, it's just not in the article right now. I have added a source to the article independent of the wizards site, and could add more if needed. Tazerdadog (talk) 00:41, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, Cheon's 11-5 finish at PT Eldrich moon today is good for 10 additional pro points, which raises his career total to above 200, meeting the subject-specific notability guideline here Tazerdadog (talk) 10:45, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

His "finishes" are utterly beside the point. That "guideline" is not Wikipedia notability policy. Delete per nom. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 12:07, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per the other MTG afds such as Marcio Carvalho, note WP:LOCALCONCENSUS, users can't decide that their SNG overrides WP:GNG. The only source that seems to cover pro MTG is Channel Fireball, but I'm not even sure if that is reliable.--Prisencolin (talk) 03:18, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
