good video game players don't make them notable. there are a lot of good game players out there, but not all of them have an article. Vsa222 (talk) 07:28, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep It has references and I'd say between his gaming accomplishments and his status as a Survivor contestant, he's sufficiently notable. It's borderline for me, though. JuJube (talk) 09:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He is notable for more than one thing. Plastikspork (talk) 14:14, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Being good at video games (particularly Smash Bros.) doesn't assert notability. JungleFuryPizza (talk) 17:37, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep As lame as this guy is, he passes WP:BIO and WP:N as far as I can see. The article has plenty of citations and notable third party sources. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 20:13, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment just as we have WP:ATHLETE for folks who play sports professionally, are there any similar criteria for professional gamers? eSports is a significant part of the video game landscape at the moment and seems to be only getting more prolific; some of the above arguments for deletion have tinges of WP:IDONTLIKEIT.

Keep — I found about three or four actually reliable sources amongst the pile of unreliable sources listed. (Yes, I am contending that mlgpro.com is not reliable.) It passes for notability. MuZemike 21:41, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - While the two sources of notability might not be enough individually, Survivor and gaming combined makes him notable. 98.169.44.145 (talk) 02:49, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep As above, either of the two reasons for notability here wouldn't be enough for a Wikiepdia article on their own, but together they just about put him over the boundary for notability, with sources that show this. Orbital Delegate (talk) 09:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Article doen't establish notability. Don't Feed the Zords (talk) 12:50, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Obivous Keep This nomination is borderline vandalism. Clearly against wikipedia policy to delete to well established, well sourced, notable member of the sport community. On top of that he is a survivor contestant. Note: Other than JungleFuryPizza the rest of the people who requested this article be deleted have a history of vandalism and have used WP:IDONTLIKEIT as an argument. 63.76.234.250 (talk) 15:56, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
