Space Soldiers (eSports Organization)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to be a notable esports organization. No significant showings in major events, only coverage I could find in esports coverage sites with editorial control (Dot, ESPN, etc.) was this article about their players leaving and this sponsored profile. The rest of the results were passing mentions, generally in the context of ex-players. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 22:23, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Including this one which is about their win in a DreamHack tournament: https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/space-soldiers-win-dreamhack-austin-2018-csgo-24323
 * Keep There have been more articles of Dot about Space Soldiers, 8 to be exact: https://dotesports.com/news/tag/space-soldiers

The Wikipedia page has been updated many times by multiple people after the nomination and now features a lot more information than the original article and there are more things that I am planning to add further this month when I have the time.

 * Delete per nom. A win in a single tournament doesn't really make them any more notable than finishing third or something. Also, they only seem to be reported on by a single publication (Dot Esports), which is not a good look. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 09:52, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
