The article has used a lot of unreliable sources and fails WP:GNG. I did WP:BEFORE, but there are zero sigcov or lacking of reliable sources about this person. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 13:22, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Red Bull feature is ok, but I could also see a redirect to his current team. IgelRM (talk) 15:51, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, passes GNG though it needs improvement and cleanup to be in an acceptable state. MimirIsSmart (talk) 10:36, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The unfortunate reality is that there just aren't many high quality sources covering esports. ESPN shuttered their coverage, the listings at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Sources#Esports are pretty small press, and many are region-specific or esport-specific to MOBAs. However, I think I cobbled together enough from the best sources that were available to pass the bar of WP:GNG. At the time that I wrote the article, they were a professionally signed player with major tournament wins, and considered one of the best players in the world in a notable esport by the community-accepted ranking system (If Red Bull is a RS and they devote extensive coverage to the Panda Global rankings, that should be enough). It's been a long time since I participated in AfD, so I'm out of practice and that's the best argument I can make at this time. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 03:46, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: In addition to the Red Bull source found by IgelRM, I checked the ESPN and Dot Esports sources already cited in the article and they appear to be decent SIGCOV of aspects of his fighting game history. I also found an Esports Insider source which talks about his departure from Team Liquid. PantheonRadiance (talk) 05:20, 27 April 2025 (UTC) PantheonRadiance (talk) 05:20, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
