Subject is non-notable. There seems to be no significant coverage of this list or elements of this list in reliable sources independent from the subject. Sancho 03:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Keep I would compare thecpl to the chess tournaments in their heyday. There's lots of coverage for these competitions and thus attesting to the notability of this list. Lots of coverage of CPL events on google news Corpx 06:38, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
• keep The CPL has been the only consistent electronic sports tournament host for the past ten years. They may have lost a lot of ground in the past two years, but this still is a very important part of e-Sports history. This list is accurate and is really needed for future reference by anyone who wishes to do research on the history of western e-Sports. An article like this is a necessity in a time where a lot of people are trying to re-invent history. The sources may be lacking, but those can be added at any time. -- Laurens Hoek 09:51, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep it CPL was a part of esports which is followed and watched by hundreds of thousands, with the intent to reach millions with CGS on DirecTV. It's an important part of history because CPL was the main tournament for esports for many years, hence its winners are part of history. This page documents that history.

• Delete per nom. Comparison to chess tournaments is kind of silly, at least professional chess (while equally dorky) is covered by international media and reliable sources. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:56, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Onnaghar (speak.work) 14:18, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Corpx. These events *are* covered in media, so I see no reason not to include information about who has won them. JulesH 15:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, article is fine in the context of the parent article, and was created as a split from the parent which is an accepted practice. WP:PAPER. —Xezbeth 21:18, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep per Corpx. --Aarktica 14:45, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
