Seriously under-sourced for any BLP, and given the claimed reason for notability, this really doesn't stand up. Anyone notable for their on-line activities ought to be leaving a visible footprint.

I don't like to poke very new articles, but this one has been up a whole day now and the editing isn't now making major changes to it. If it can't demonstrate clear notability within the span of an AfD, then it should go. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:46, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete has apparently won stuff but no evidence any of it is at all notable, nor is any of it sourced to reliable sources. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:57, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I found some sources but probably not enough to establish notability: Lengthy Penny Arcade article, Daily Dot, GameSpot. Sam Walton (talk) 10:44, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - SamWalton has presented sources that establish that the subject widely satisfies our criteria for notability. Very significant coverage in dedicated, reliable and independant sources. As the sources say: if this guy's not "notable", no other eSports player is. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 23:01, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - There are useful sources that can be found for him but I'm worried that this article will turn out to be no different from the Daigo Umehara and Justin Wong articles. (As in, just being an article that boils down to "In 20XX he won X using X", mainly because sources, while they exist, are scarce. Not really sure how articles on other esports people are done but so far the ones of FG players have been disappointing.) TheStickMan[✆Talk] 14:31, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted

  • Delete While I appreciate that elite/professional gamers aren't something that we have clear standards for, if Daigo Umehara is what those articles should be like, this falls far short. Coverage in independent third party sources isn't substantial, and this person doesn't have any of the proxies for notability, such as records (from notable organizations), sponsorship, and cross-industry positions (such as being a commentator for e-gaming events), that other elite/professional gamers have.
