Talk:PowersGaming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
April.17 - Yes, well I created the page, but of course wikipedia is for everyone, I am totally cool for that and im glad people are updating it. However vandalizing it by putting fake, stupid, or ignorant comments doesn't help people interested in this article.
April.13/2007 - I would like to know who is editing my article and putting idiotic things. Do not put 'fatfall', etc inname for Jacob Stanton. This article isn't here for you to ruin. If you have a problem with Jacob "Nightfall" Stanton, keep it to yourself.
Thanks, theownerer

I would like to know in the first place why this article was deleted. It is history about the most professional counter-strike:source team.
Wikipedia has a large user base but the majority of them are clueless to the world of professional gaming, its not thier fault, but they should be more cautiuse when marking something for deletion if they have no expertiese on the topic.
Powers Gaming was the most well known CS:S team (CS:S is right now the biggist of all the professional games, with Halo2 and CS:1.6 not far off), they won CPL (CyberAthleticProfessionalLeague) in 05 and became a household name for competitive gaming fans. Hell even now in 2007 publications (The first issue of E-Sports came out last month and PG was ofcourse mentioned in it dispite it being dissbanded for over a year now). Not thinking this is worth an entry in an encyclopeidia is like saying that superbawl XXXII isn't an event worthy of a spot. IanIrvin 20:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well first off, Counter-Strike (or what you call 1.6), Halo 2, Starcraft, and Warcraft III are larger in number of players, number of competitive players, and prize money offered at tournaments. Quake 4 also has larger prize money offerings. PowersGaming was a short-living e-Sports club, with only few notable achievements, the 2005 CPL win being the biggest. However, there are numerous CPL winners, just take a look at Past CPL Winners. Should they all get articles? Now while PowersGaming was a significant name in the Counter-Strike: Source community, it is not a very notable name in the e-Sports community as a whole. -- Laurens Hoek 23:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008 Clean-Up
I sourced what I could of this article and re-organized it into a more logical format. I think I removed the worst of the nNPOV issues so I've removed the tag. It still needs better referencing from Reliable sources. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 14:58, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
