Sport_in_video_gaming

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)[reply]

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

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).

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)[reply]
Delete Looks like an essay. AS per nom. Hammer1980·^talk 19:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Delete, redundant and inferior to electronic sports. No value as a redirect. --Dhartung | Talk 04:19, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
