No WP:SIGCOV from any reliable sources, only user generated content and wikis, and short mentions in unreliable gaming magazine lists. Sophisticatedevening(talk) 15:15, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have added more citations. ConorRyan28 (talk) 15:50, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak, weak delete. [1], [2]. He's clearly notable enough in the e-sports world to warrant roster coverage of, but I don't think that passes the bar of WP:GNG.
Probably a question for a RfC, but to what extent does WP:NSPORTS apply to e-sports? Given the weird and wacky world that is the area, it would be nice if we could discuss and get consensus in terms of publications, notability, etc. Meepmeepyeet (talk) 15:55, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
HLTV.org is one of if not the main publication for Counter-Strike news and updates. All though I understand this is not considered as a reliable enough source, that is why most of my original sources came from there. When comparing this article to the article of his teammate, Broky, there are a lot of HLTV citations as well as citations from Dot Esports which I have cited in this article. This player has had less coverage than a player like broky hence the less available citations from reliable sources. ConorRyan28 (talk) 16:06, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm not seeing enough significant coverage from reliable sources. While Dot Esports is good per WP:VGRS... Liquipedia is WP:UGC, Dexerto should rarely be used for BLPs (WP:DEXERTO), HLTV and GINX are not a reliable source per WP:VGRS, BLAST is not independent, Forbes is written by a contributor (WP:FORBES), GameReactor UK and Esports.gg do not contain significant coverage of the subject. That leaves us with SheepEsports (which just links to the website's main page) and TalkEsports. I question those two's reliability as well. – Pbrks (t·c) 17:31, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: with Pbrks excellent analysis of the sources used. In addition, in comparison to broky who was awarded a national award and has won a majors Frozen doesn't appear to have received either (yet), we can reassess if or when they do. Moritoriko (talk) 23:38, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
