I do not think this meets WP:BIO The MLG source is not at all independent, the Youtube page is of course not viable. NPR is fairly decent, but it's a fairly passing mention, even though he is talked to, and it's only one source. The Fourth one is another MLG source, and the last source from thecpl is not at all neutral or established. I don't see enough to satisfy WP:GNG NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 06:11, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep The NPR source is good, and it's not clear to me that the CPL source is bad. The old Cyberathlete Professional League was a significant organization in professional video gaming (we have an article on them), and this appears to be the official news channel of their successor. However, it's not at all clear what the successor organization is. So, based on the one good article and the general buzz of borderline other material, I'm not comfortable deleting at this time. But I won't consider it a great tragedy if it happens. gnfnrf (talk) 03:16, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I found a PC Gamer podcast interview with Alex. --生け花 00:52, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep the NPR source clearly demonstrates notability. This figure is probably the first or second most respected Starcraft II caster in the English Language. --Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 02:22, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This article utilizes multiple independent reliable sources that help establish enough notability for an article. No reason why it shouldn't be kept. Artichoker^[talk] 07:48, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
