Why is the 2012 WGPO Word Cup listed? It is not a notable tournament. In fact, if I were to create a tournament with an equal prize pool, it would be more notable than the WGPO Word Cup, because it would have official Hasbro sanctioning, and yet, it would still not be notable enough for inclusion in this project.

Why would the prize pool and Hasbro's sanctioning be the criteria of a tournament's notability? Number of entrants and quality of competition seem just as relevant or more.

How do you define quality of competition, then? Hasbro owns the trademark in North America and licences that trademark to organizations who run tournaments. WGPO does not have any licence, therefore, because any rating system they may possibly use is inherently unofficial, there is literally no way to objectively define the quality of its competition. Therefore, the Hasbro sanctioning goes hand-in-hand with "quality of competition".

What does an organization's possession of a license to use the trademark have to do with its ratings' objectivity? WGPO calculates ratings the same way NASPA does, and people who belong to both organizations have similar ratings in both.

The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,

@
Roastedbeanz1: On the other hand, while the thought counts, I regret to inform you (and correct myself in hindsight) that this is unfortunately ineligible for DYK. Article was created back in mid-November 2007, and to satisfy DYK requirements at this writing, should have been either a recent
GA or expanded fivefold to ~87.5KB in the past few days alone. Pardon if I was rather optimistic beforehand, but I'm afraid a decline is in order for the time being. (There's a reason I recently added {{User oops}} among the several dozen UBXes already on my userpage.) Once/if this passes
WP:GAN, I'll happily reconsider. Best of luck—I might keep an eye out!For starters, you might try sending this over to
PR to find out what needs to be done first. --

Malaysian citizen?
He's described as living in Malaysia the article, but I'm not seeing a ref anywhere to support the claim that he's a Malaysian citizen. I'm seeing in the French-language ref that he has retired in Malaysia, but that doesn't necessarily mean citizenship. Does anyone know/can anyone add info to the article?
