WGPO is not notable
Why is the 2012 WGPO Word Cup listed? It is not a notable tournament. In fact, if I were to create a tournament with an equal prize pool, it would be more notable than the WGPO Word Cup, because it would have official Hasbro sanctioning, and yet, it would still not be notable enough for inclusion in this project.

 * Why would the prize pool and Hasbro's sanctioning be the criteria of a tournament's notability? Number of entrants and quality of competition seem just as relevant or more. AlsoWukai (talk) 23:40, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * How do you define quality of competition, then? Hasbro owns the trademark in North America and licences that trademark to organizations who run tournaments. WGPO does not have any licence, therefore, because any rating system they may possibly use is inherently unofficial, there is literally no way to objectively define the quality of its competition. Therefore, the Hasbro sanctioning goes hand-in-hand with "quality of competition". Andy Saunders (talk) 04:43, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * What does an organization's possession of a license to use the trademark have to do with its ratings' objectivity? WGPO calculates ratings the same way NASPA does, and people who belong to both organizations have similar ratings in both. AlsoWukai (talk) 23:05, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * At the lest it needs a non-primary source. AIRcorn (talk) 00:06, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Malaysian citizen?
He's described as living in Malaysia the article, but I'm not seeing a ref anywhere to support the claim that he's a Malaysian citizen. I'm seeing in the French-language ref that he has retired in Malaysia, but that doesn't necessarily mean citizenship. Does anyone know/can anyone add info to the article? 104.232.119.107 (talk) 08:26, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
