[edit] XGT

Admittedly "small-scale" gaming clan of 30 people. A slicker article than most of these, but still.... FreplySpang (talk) 22:08, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete nn Zzzzz 00:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC) - change vote to *Speedy delete as the author himself agrees article should not exist. Zzzzz 09:10, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete It is more nicely made than most similar gaming clan articles, but style does not make substance, or encyclopedic status. --Wingsandsword 08:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Do not delete It's a growing clan. If it bothers people, i'll remove some stuff so it does not take up as much space on Wikipedia. Granted it's small but deserves being noted and last i checked there weren't any articles about other PS2 gaming teams. -- Predator 17:27, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Seems more like a vanity page then anything else, non encyclopedic. Beowulph 22:31, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or move the information to a User page. The reason that there aren't any articles on other PS2 clans is that you would never read about any of them in an encyclopedia. There are very few gaming clans on Wikipedia and most are professional eSports teams, all that stay are over 5 years old, and those that are not professionals have to be large and notable. Few clans can survive the gauntlet, even if as well written as this one is. If you can get newspapers, magazines, or commercial websites to write articles about your clan, it is probably notable, otherwise not. (By the way, the XGT Wolf page will also meet the same fate (so move the information to your user page, where no one can complain....) --Habap 14:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Reason why: It just looked as if there was a lack of articles when I put this one up, but I guess I should have researched more. On second thought, most of the information here can be found on the website for this clan and the clan itself is quite a small scale one. Sorry for a waste of space, there's no real need for it.

• Delete. If they only have 30 members, none of whom are inherently notable, having an article here looks like advertising. Notability guidelines for gaming clans wouldn't hurt, if a lot of these articles start cropping up. --Idont Havaname 22:26, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
