Notable enough to inspire satire http://www.worldofmunchkin.com/guide/ here.  Wizards of the Coast write an editorial in their regular column on the topic http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sg/20050415a here.  Dice of Doom (a blog with http://diceofdoom.com/blog/the-writers/ editorial oversight) runs a six part series on it starting http://diceofdoom.com/blog/2009/08/powergaming-introduction/ here.  Always Strike First (which appears to have editors although it's not clear) discusses it in a wargaming context http://www.alwaysstrikefirst.com/content/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=110:powergaming-a-worrying-reality-or-a-sore-losers-excuse&catid=43:general&Itemid=45 here.  Glenn Blacow's early approach to player typing from 1980 lists "powergamers" as one of his four basic player types (link http://www.darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/theory/models/blacow.html here) and Bestheda developer Ken Rolston uses it casually in an IGN interview http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/357/357232p1.html here in a way that shows he expects any reader to know what it means.  The term's prevalent enough to have become a term IT companies use to describe a high-end gaming rig and it's been appropriated as the name of a prominent pro-gaming team.  Poor sources and poor content aren't an AfD issue where the topic is itself notable; if you have problems with the quality of the content |feel free to fix it. Please consult  before making AfD nominations
