- Strong Keep Please see Wikipedia:Don't be an ostrich. Just because you have not heard of this person does not mean he is not notable. He passes WP:BIO, first he has been cited by multiple non-trivial independent sources. [1], [2], [3], and there are many more. Second, he is currently ranked as both the national champion for 1v1/FFA and is apart of the number 1 team, Team Carbon. He has been interviewed by USA Network and currently is a star on MLG's pro circuit series on USA Network. The precedence has been set before, see Daigo Umehara, Ken Hoang, and Magic Players, the top ranked players in any genre is notable. I personally have no interest in Magic players, but that doesnt mean I think they should be deleted. Valoem talk 20:08, 25 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 23:14, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Subject has appeared in major national competitions, Major League Gaming, It is the only video game league. CPL and other gaming tournaments only play computer games. MLG is the largest video game competition. Ben Jackson is the current champion. We are talking about Halo 2 the largest console first person shooter. This is notable. Much moreso than Street Fighter Valoem talk 05:30, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
