Andreas 'bds' Thorstensson

Not suitable for Wikipedia; likely vanity page. FOo 19:00, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep Sigh. Did you read the Discussion page? I've never met him. He's not one of my heroes. I found when editing and updating the SoGamed page and the Ninjas in Pyjamas page that he was on both. It seems that he is actually an important figure in professional gaming - not for being a gamer, but for creating two different, successful gaming news sites and owning a professional gaming syndicate. In a normal encyclopedia, he might not belong because he is just a small businessman, but on the internet, he sounds like one of those who really shapes the online gaming experience. --Habap 19:22, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment For the May 2005 deletion debate on the less-notable gamer Emil Christensen, see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Emil Christensen.

• Delete online gamer, vanity. His website (which is not active anymore) scores very little on either Alexa or Google. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:26, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

I've added the link to his current website - sk-gaming.com and links to SoGamed.com, which is descended from his original site and a link to nip-gaming.com, the professional gaming clan that broke ties with SK Gaming over his alleged double-dipping. Sorry to refer to a defunct website (geekboys.com) without reference to the current ones. --Habap 20:38, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per Habap. If Emil Christenson was kept so should this article. Falphin 01:07, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as the organization of online labor, and leading figures in that movement, is fine for inclusion. Unless there's a major verifiability or fact issue with the article, which there doesn't seem to be, this looks keepworthy. The Literate Engineer 02:50, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Gaming. I meant to say online gaming, not labor. Wow. The Literate Engineer 04:50, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
