A couple notes

I tried cleaning up this article a bit, focusing on style and more careful attribution to sources. The article could definitely benefit from some expansion: in the article, Leffen's competitive Melee history focuses on Apex 2015. While that tournament was quite significant for Leffen, as he became the first Melee player to take sets off of all the Melee "gods", Leffen had been notable (at least within the Melee scene) long before Apex. If there are good enough sources for it, his tournament history should be greatly fleshed out. —MathMaven (talk ∫ edits) 06:45, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As much as I'd like to see his tourney history expanded on, most of the sources would end up being SmashBoards or reddit posts, and I'm not sure if that's cool with wikipedia.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 01:15, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unreliable sources

(diff) @Prisencolin, the following sources are unreliable and should be sourced to a vetted vg source or otherwise removed: Melee It On Me, Smash Boards, Nintendo Enthusiast, YouTube as a primary source, EventHubs, Reddit, and Twitter when it isn't being used in the set self-published source (basic info) way. For instance, it is not notable that a parody Twitter account was created unless a secondary source covers it—it is inappropriate to link to its existence as the reason for its citation. Please revert your edit. czar 14:45, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I support Czar's stance here. The source are not reliable, and the SPS sources are not used in the appropriate manner... Sergecross73 msg me 03:20, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

EventHubs and SmashBoards aren't SPSs, and the portion of SmashBoards used is a database that can't be publicly edited. YouTube videos are a recording of a broadcast and did not originate on the site. This being said I do agree that reddit sources should probably be excised.--Prisencolin (talk) 15:51, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

Forgive my OCD, but shouldn't this article be under the name, "William Hjelte", as opposed to his gaming handle, in the interests of consistency? Jason Zimmerman, Kevin Nanney, Joseph Marquez, Juan Debiedma and Adam Lindgren are all articles titled based on their first names. JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 13:47, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~I concur. BP OMowe (talk) 12:16, 8 April 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]

It seems there was a broader discussion about the format of gamer names, so I moved all involved accordingly. BP OMowe (talk) 12:46, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
