Several sources are outdated; There is no lede section; but most glaringly: I have my doubts that this is truly notable. I'd like to get the community's opinion on this one. Thank you. ceradon (talk • contribs) 23:58, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - but I added a short lede. Like all organisations or groups, this needs to pass WP:ORGDEPTH or WP:GNG and I don't think there is nearly enough for them to pass either of those. Most of the claims in the article are completely unsourced (and some are likely to be impossible to source). Without significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, this has a bleak future here.

Delete: As stated above, sourcing is seriously lacking. Add to that the large amount of cruft and lack of apparent notability outside of working with the Extra-Life program, and there's not a lot of redeeming qualities about it.

Delete: I did some hunting under both the Archetype and Suave names and found nothing which could support the article as a 'reliable source'; this includes 0 hits for either team name in HighBeam and reviewing some of the team encounter sites to see if there was some usable information there. I also did a brief look across the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals sites in search of donor information in tax documents and I did not find supporting evidence there, though I did not dig very deep. I think that professional competitive gaming is largely unrecognized as notable by mainstream media at the moment. Further, one of the sources of revenue for professional teams is the video of game play, which some people watch as entertainment; this might turn into a viral revenue source at some time, but remains in the shadow economy at the moment. Articles like this might be able to be supportable in five or ten years, but not at present, unfortunately. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 03:11, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
