Carbon (Halo team)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Also nominating additional articles as the same reason applies:

All video gaming "esports" teams with no substantial independant coverage (WP:GNG). All articles are created by the same author that I asked to provide sources, but this request seems to have been ignored. Vaypertrail (talk) 13:21, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * , can you run these separately? They're going to have different outcomes even if you would personally lump them all together. – czar   14:36, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Please do split them and I'll be happy to repost, but here are my thoughts if you don't: Redirect Team Carbon (main coverage is of 343 hiring Carbon's Eric Hewitt) to Major League Gaming with this Engadget story. Redirect Team 3D to World Cyber Games 2005 – no in-depth secondary source coverage, but they are best known for their 2005 win: Redirect likewise for Final Boss, as they're the same team as Team 3D. If others don't think it's a useful search term, then delete it. Keep Edward Gaming, "one of China's best professional League of Legends teams" and the subject of . The so-called "super team" of China has two paragraphs of background at . And then there's the incidental coverage at  and the passing mentions in a VGRS search. Redirect Vici Gaming to The International (Dota 2). They are best known for placing second in the 2014 International, but haven't received more than passing mentions in the VGRS and Daily Dot. Anyone who wins this year will of course get more coverage, but WP is not a crystal ball. Redirection makes the most sense for now as a useful search term. Notes in general: The Daily Dot is our main RS for eSports, and if they don't cover the team, it's unlikely that we will. Thanks for taking on the cleanup—a number of these articles have been spammed from other WP-compatible wikis. –  czar   14:53, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Many of the Asian teams have a lot of sources that aren't in English, so I'm having a lot of trouble finding them. Keep Team 3D, there was a whole book written about it, I think that pretty much settles any concerns about reliable sources.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 00:15, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The book's about their rivalry with another team in the context of the 2005 Cyber Games. If it needs to spill out of that article, it can do so summary style – czar   00:29, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
