Draft:North America Scholastic Esports Federation

  • Comment: Currently falls slightly short of notability requirements for organisations. This can be remedied by searching for significant coverage from reliable secondary sources independent of the organisation. The BusinessWire article is a good first step in showing there is reliable and sustained coverage of the NASEF. I found some of the ESports Insider articles follow fairly directly from NASEF press releases. Also, whilst significant coverage, this [1] press release also suggests that UC Irvine published the research on outcomes in tandem with the NASEF, blurring its status as a clear secondary source. The article also has bare links and incomplete information for its sources - click here for guidance on how to improve that. I think some minor work to broaden the sourcing and coverage and improve the citations can help satisfy the notability requirements. VRXCES (talk) 08:50, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

North America Scholastic Esports Federation (NASEF) is an organization for competitive high school esports and esports curriculum. It was developed from the Orange County High School Esports League by a partnership of UC Irvine, the Orange County Office of Education, and the Samueli Foundation when they expanded to all of North America, the United States in particular, in 2018.[1]

As participation has increased with a growing number of high school and even middle school esports programs, they were recognized with a CODiE award for scholastic esports in 2021.[2][3] Then, for the 2022-2023 school year they partnered with CIF to facilitate the varsity and junior varsity leagues for high school esports in the state of California.[4][5] Throughout the organizations existence, it has also been the subject of continued research about the role of video games in education, particularly by researchers at UC Irvine.[6]
