As per a previous AfD, I am resubmitting this. This article fails WP:BIO and is related to Major League Gaming. :: Colin Keigher ( Talk ) 21:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC) *Delete fails WP:BIO - all of these need to disappear. SkierRMH, 22:21, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - As per nom.--Bryson 21:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - with the same notes as before - and asking J0lt C0la to put all of that great research into the article. :) SkierRMH 05:39, 24 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep He was on MTV for crying out loud! How's that for notability? Ok, so I should probably collect what little patience I still have and make a real argument. The source finding has already been done for me, as it's on the article's page, here's a rundown of the print ones, many national publications: Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) - April 05 Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) - October 05 Official Xbox Magazine (OXM) - March 05 Cargo Magazine Sun-Sentinel "Who's got game" - April 27, 2005 Stuff Magazine: Power List 20 Under 30 - August 2006 Wired Magazine - August 2006 Wall Street Journal - 7/26/2006 (Front Page)  As for links, an interview, a news article, a Joystiq interview , 1up (one of the most popular video game sites on the web, about all types of games) interview . As a pro gamer might put it, this AfD just got pwned hardcore. J0lt C0la 04:32, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 05:32, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as above.  Tonytypoon 20:25, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as above. Stinkman 22:21, 29 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Edison 19:00, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, professional gamers that get media attention are certainly notable. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 16:04, 26 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Subject has never appeared in any major international competition, nor made any notable achievements and therefore fails WP:BIO. For clarification regarding e-Sports, view e-Sports and 2006 e-Sports World Champions -- DJiTH 23:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your work on e-sports in general, but I am seeing a major anti-MLG bias in all your 'delete' votes. I feel that I have gone above and beyond in proving notability in all these AfD's, and that you are against the articles merely because they are members of MLG rather than some other league.

 * Keep per above. --- RockMFR 21:37, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
