Stephen Livengood
not notable, unless we consider a national ranking at Magic:The Gathering notable. DJ Clayworth 17:44, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

As a long time follower of Steve, I think his Magic: The Gathering ranking speaks for itself. Any game with a million dollar protour deserves recognition. Also, changing someone's post (as was done to yours) to suit your needs is childish.Robinsonbp1@gcc.edu B. Robinson
 * Delete Magic: The Gathering gets a lot of Google hits, but not Stephen Livengood.  Mwanner 18:04, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * At the least, a person should be able to support themself by playing their game. Kai Budde, for example, clearly deserves an article. This guy does not. Anyone who can earn a living only through cards, I would say, deserves an article, or at least a merge and redirect to a list; this only gets a delete vote. Sorry.

 * Delete, not sufficiently notable for winning regional tourneys or having a national ranking. If he were the sole World Champion in a given year, that would barely make the edge of WP-worthiness by my tastes; I'd rather have world champs in a table in the game's main article, not their own bios.  I know several former World Champions of Diplomacy (game), but I don't think they're notable enough to have articles here.  Barno 19:56, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm curious as to what his ranking actually is, but since it's not mentioned I doubt it's noteworthy. Delete Mgm|(talk) 20:27, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, lots of people have national rankings - it means you participate in tourneys. Unless you actually win a lot (per Kai Budde) your article would be WP:VAIN. Radiant_* 08:15, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
