[edit] Sport_in_video_gaming

Sport_in_video_gaming (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Poorly written article, which reads more like a report than a real article. Also seems to be of little encyclopaedic significance. The Wiki Priest (talk) 06:26, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep. This article seems to be about "video games as a sport", and has tone issues, aswell as formatting issues. Those can be fixed. The more challenging problem is to make this into a neutral article about the phenomenon of "video games as a sport" and not an essay discussing if it is a sport (which it is now). Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 17:53, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
• It seems to be more of an essay on video games as a sport, than an actual encyclopedic article. However, it could be rewritten into a more unbiased explanation of the history of video games acceptance as a sport. User:Dodopod —Preceding comment was added at 18:45, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Looks like an essay. AS per nom. Hammer1980·^talk 19:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete removing the WP:NOR essay parts, it's an A1. Valid topic, but this isn't an article This is a Secret ^account 21:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete As noted, it could be an interesting topic for an article. This was someone's interesting idea for a term paper, so badly written that it may have gotten a B minus. Mandsford (talk) 03:21, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, redundant and inferior to electronic sports. No value as a redirect. --Dhartung | Talk 04:19, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. Someone another (talk) 11:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - Not much more to add to this debate; this reads like a school essay and covers the same topic as electronic sports. --Scottie_theNerd 18:02, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
