not my field, but the references loo either thoroughly unreliable or irrelevant to notability , similarly to the adjacent article. DGG ( talk ) 03:03, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep, no new information has come to light since the last AfD to warrant delete. Sources such as Red Bull [1] suggest in depth coverage. Since performance at EVO [2] has given him additional coverage. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 23:03, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Just a quick glance at the Reference list shows Kotaku, IGN, and Polygon, all three being very notable sources. Above comments explain the rest of my reasoning. Supernerd11 _{Firemind ^_^ Pokedex} 01:37, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Leffen is one the most well known Esports players today and has progressively been getting more media attention. There are enough sources at the moment for a speedy keep Thehack771 (talk) 16:06, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what happened with the last AfD, but this isn't as clear-cut as it was made to seem. Nintendo Enthusiast and Gamersyndrome are not reliable sources. And without the new (aforementioned) Red Bull article, there would have been next to no reliable biographical material with which to write an article. So that Red Bull article is good, as is the Kotaku article (though not wholly dedicated to him), and the Daily Dot is decent though cursory. I removed a ton of unreliable sources and original research from the article (the non-notable tournaments should be removed) and I think it's fine to weak keep for now, but if there is no future coverage, it's borderline enough to possibly warrant a merge into the competitive Smash article. czar 16:37, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
