Olivier and Antoine Ruel

Non-notable collectible card players. Article is unsourced. -- Malber (talk • contribs) 15:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Split While I can agree the article itself should be deleted, it's because I think it would be best to split the article to cover each brother individually. However, in the interest of keeping discussion, I won't do so until this discussion is completed. However, their remains the problem with [[User:Malber|Malber]'s motivations which are highly questionable. FrozenPurpleCube 20:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Not notable collectively or split. --Nlu (talk) 01:30, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I don't think these guys should make the cut. Barely anything worth saying about them, and no sources I could find. Mangojuice^talk 04:19, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Non-notable. Daniel's page ☎ 04:22, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as not notable - don't appear to have won anything and being dq'd in a card game isn't notable. MLA 11:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • They are both in the top 5 of Lifetime Pro Points at [1] and Olivier for one has written many articles on magic. Still, I'd accept putting them in a list of notable mtg players. FrozenPurpleCube 17:28, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for the info, I haven't followed Magic for nearly 9 years now. My personal view on notability for magic card players is that they should either be world champions or have some other exceptional claim to notability. Writing about Magic isn't notable and by my standards on a minority interest collectible card game, top 5 doesn't cut it. MLA 08:42, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I don't think they get past WP:BIO WilyD 13:08, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, non-notable players. —ptk✰fgs 15:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep, two of the most prolific professional Magic players of all time. Stifle (talk) 18:19, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete. They don't seem notable, unless we list all Pro-Tour winners?-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  00:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
