Keep The most notable part of the article is the 2005 Painkiller results between Vo0 and fatal1ty, but these are also posted at 2005 CPL World Tour. Some of the other tours are also notable, which forms a body of notable information. I'd initially say put it on the CPL article, but that article is really full now. I think by WP:LISTN, the article is notable since independent sources do talk about the CPL results, with heavy emphasis on the 2005 champions and particularly on fatal1ty. I think also the article could be moved to a better name like List of Cyberathlete Professional League tours or List of Cyberathlete Professional League seasons, or however sports articles name similar stuff. --Odie5533 (talk) 16:15, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are hundreds about the 2005 tour: BusinessWeek Gamasutra, MTV, New York Daily News, Joystiq, etc. Champion "Ksharp" from Team 3D is mentioned in The Washington Post. 2005 WC3 winner "ToD" was mentioned in BBC News. more details from BBC and more and in the Guardian 2002 games in the NYTimes. I only searched in Google News, which doesn't fare well for gaming news more than 5 years old either. --Odie5533 (talk) 02:16, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
