This article was nominated for deletion on 28 November 2006. The result of the discussion was keep. |
Most, if not all, of the information can be found by visiting the official site. We should cut most of the article and add more background information. --Robert Harrisontalk contrib 15:24, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Agreed Robert. Currently the page shows "Possible Copyright Violation." This doesn't have to be so. The page can be reworked into a useful article. MLG staff will probably be happy to co-operate on this.
Tsquared is infamous after his long-term gaming success. He is one of the bigger gaming figures which is the reason why he has been signed. This article can grow very large if enough background information is written.
It can't be copyright because the only thing it resembles is my other work on Wikipedia.

[edit] temp article up!
I have decided to create a temporary article, it is very stubby though. --Robert Harrisontalk contrib 05:16, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
- Nice, but it needs more context on what MLG actually is. I've changed it to say "video games" rather than just "gaming" (I thought online gambling after I read the first sentence), but it needs a little more about how it works. You play against other people, right? For prizes or money or just for fun and position in a league? Also, the logo image is very poor quality. Is there a better image available?

- I found a better logo. I'm going to do some more improvements on the page and add more content later on. JohnC1987 11:25, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sections to add
Add stuff to this list that you feel is relevant.
- History
- Previous Seasons
- Previous Event Turnouts
- Current Season
- Pro players. Mini biogs maybe? Maybe a link to a stub about each player?
- Misc. issues e.g. look to future and potential for expansion/increase in exposure.
- Video on Demand. Bit of detail on this, since it is unique in console gaming.
Delete from this list when section added. --JohnC1987 22:10, 23 December 2005 (UTC) Okay, first of all, there is waaay too much history on the sum 10 big teams over the course of MLG gaming history.
- Yea we need to add Pro teams, a little bit about their success/history for the big teams e.g., but teams like Team 3D need seperate wikipages internally linked instead of using excess space in MLG. Its like talking about Michael Jordan's era in an Article on the NBA.
For instance, if you'll look at the Wiki article on Star Wars, they have exactly what I'm talking about.
[edit] Professional Players
I have started a list of professional players on one of my workspace pages. An interested person would find it here. The list is short right now due to time constraints. If anybody wants to make further use of it, please go right ahead and do so.--Robert Harrisontalk contrib 02:12, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'll work on it. Thanks for what you've managed to do so far. Bluestrike 2 22:19, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Possible Sections to add
- Publicity - 60 minutes, mtv, wallstreet journal etc
- Future Plans
- MLG Season tour stops
- Log of episodes on USA
[edit] Overhaul
Since this is pretty much a stub article, I'm working on completely revamping it while maintaing as much of the work already done so far. Instead of doing so on the main page, I'm doing it in my User Talk, so you can check it out here. I welcome any help you can provide. Bluestrike 2 01:51, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] vandalism
Someone vandalized MTV guests, the categories, etc. today 12-03-06
Someone listed their own name in the pro section on two different occassions. I noticed it both times and was endeavored to fix it because I had put a lot of contribution into the page.
edit - I fixed it - arrashju
someone vandalised the publicity section.(tsquared a basd kid who gets his ass kicked and ripp3d v2 is not a professional gamer.
edit- I fixed it - chaosTheory_s3
[edit] Additions/Fixing Things
Final Boss is signed to a 3 year 1 million contract, not the 1 year salaries that are described in the article. Specifics of the contract are not publicly known (what they get each year), except that at the end of 3 years each player will have a quarter million dollars. Also, there is no citation for this information.
take out the "rampant speculation" on whether or not they are throwing games. Speculation by its very nature is ussually unfounded. Posting a rumour that has no validity undermines the concept of wikipedia and basing things on fact. AlphaZealot 17:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dear god...
This subject is absolutely notable, but this is just a terrible article. It's one of the worst advertisements I've seen on WP that manages to still exist. -- Kicking222 22:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I see no reason that this article should be deleted but I do think that it needs some serious cleanup.
