Liquipedia:Notability Guidelines

Please note that inclusion of pages in mainspace is ultimately up to the discretion of the Liquipedia administrators.

Sadly, not everything can be added to the wiki. We want all our pages to be as up-to-date as possible and to meet our quality standards in general. That is made harder the more pages are created, not to mention additional factors, such as the fact that lower ranked teams tend to not have social media where they announce transfers, and so on.

If you disagree with the decision for a certain page, please do come chat in our Discord specifically in the #deltaforce channel. Any pages that do not meet these guidelines will not be deleted, but will be moved to your user space.

Notability is determined by a points system based on a player's or team's performance in tournaments. The number of points awarded depends on the tournament's tier, its type (e.g., General, Monthly, Qualifier), and the placement achieved.

The final score is a cumulative total of all points earned from various events. You can check the current notability score for any player or team using our calculator:
Notability Checker

Teams and players will need 30 points to be considered for page creation.

Players & coaching staff may receive their individual pages, as long as they surpass a certain threshold of notability. If your chosen player/coaching staff fits in with one of the criteria as follows, then he/she likely warrants a page on this wiki.

• Previous history: If the player was a notable player/coach in another game and has participated in a B-tier main event (or higher);
• Achievements: If the player has achieved enough notability points;
• Impact: If the player has made notable impact towards the development of the game/esports scene.

To get started, follow the guide at Player Template for how to build a player page. New pages should have a relatively complete automatic transfer history updated in Portal:Transfers.

In general, coaching staff would only include (Head) Coaches, Positional Coaches, Training-Related roles, and Analysts. Given the grey area regarding Managers, managers are excluded from both being included in TeamCard representation and a dedicated page, they may still be able to be tracked in transfers normally if necessary.

Team pages may be created as long as they surpass a certain threshold of notability. This means fulfilling one of the criteria as follows:

• Achievements: The team has achieved enough notability points;
• Partnered/Franchised: If the team is a partner/franchised team in a Pro League (eg. Delta Force RISE Series in Americas/EMEA/Korea, Delta Force Pro League);
• Previous history: The team a well-established esport organisation (at least 2 other active teams with pages in Liquipedia) and participating minimum 1 Tier A Tournament. In case 1 Organization have more than 1 team, then wait until participating 2 tournament.

Team pages should not be created for:

• Classic start-up team with no history and no organization
• Random stack hastily created to compete in a Qualifier
• Team does not have a known transfer history
• The team has no significant achievements

To get started, follow the guide at Team Template for how to build a team page.

Minimumly, a tournament page should provide the following information:

• Team Information
• Tournament Format & Bracket
• Results
• Dates & Location of competition
• Live streams for the competition, if any

In addition, the following is preferred:

• Rulebook
• Player IDs, roles, and nationality
• Banpicks & Match Duration
• Caster Information, if any

For tournaments with huge open qualifiers with much of the requirements unknown (for example, Player IDs), we will recommend a smaller coverage (eg. Top 16 or Top 8) for the tournament. Pages who do not meet the minimum information requirement will be moved to userspace until such information is provided.

The majority of events are decided by the ladder with respect to the major international events. In general, here are the principles we use for deciding the tiering for the tournaments:

• S-tier: Major International Competitions & Season Finale (eg. Delta Force Invitational, Delta Force Invitational Warfare, ...)
• A-tier: Regional Tournaments, Domestic Leagues that feed into International Competition (eg. Delta Force Pro League, Delta Force RISE Series Americas/EMEA, Pan-Pacific Operations Cup, ...)
• B-tier: Regional Community Tournaments (eg. Delta Force Global League, ...), or National Tournaments (eg. Delta Force Bounty Hunter, Delta Force Ultimate Tournament, Delta Force National Championship,...)
• C-tier: Third party tournaments

The following 3 factors are considered for whether a tournament should be in which tier:

• Official Support from Tencent Games/Team Jade/Garena,
• Number of main rosters of Partner Teams/Top Community Teams in the League (at least 6, or 50%, whichever is higher),
• Prize Pool

Note that a tournament's tiering will ultimately be always at administrators discretion.
To get started, follow the guide at Tournament Template for how to build a tour page.

• A tournament may be considered for a series page, following completion of at least three editions of the tournament as covered on the wiki.

Completely optional, but make your userpage a good indication of who you are!
