Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. There is slightly more for his main game, Flippy Bottle Extreme, but even that would be unreliably sourced. czar 16:51, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Sources are creditable (READ THEM) the only fact here is that the Video Game Source list is poorly unreliable as a source to dictate everything from. Kotaku and other places do not waste their time on smaller topics, especially coming from unknown parts of Asia. Move on dude... Xelzeta (talk) 18:16, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I remember looking at this article when it had just been created and thinking that it did not look like a notable subject, but thought I'd give it a couple of days to improve. Since it hasn't, and I can find no sources that show notability for the person, it might just be too soon for an article. If the game he created is notable - which is slightly more likely but still not quite shown - that would not automatically make the person notable because notability is not inherited. In other words, there must be multiple reliable independent sources about the person and not the game. --bonadea contributions talk 19:40, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The sources mostly discuss the game and quote this person in the context of the game's success. Significant coverage of Mapagu as a discrete biographical topic is lacking. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:08, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ - You People are NOT Updating the Video Game Sources properly: Website - http://insidegamesasia.biz/ is one of the few creditable sources for Asia-English industry related topics. Stop using it as an EXCUSE - I even CHECKED there is a search that pops up related to them, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE UPDATED WITH MORE SOURCES, STOP BEING CLOSE MINDED - https://cse.google.com/cse/home?cx=003516479746865699832:leawcwkqifq&q=%22insidegamesasia.biz%22 - In relations Derrick Mapagu, there is an article written for him: http://insidegamesasia.biz/game-developer-from-philippines-made-a-big-global-hit-top-1-in-usa-uk-and-16-other-countries/ Xelzeta (talk) 08:02, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate bolded opinion struck out - each participant should only give one "keep" or "delete" opinion (note that it's usually "keep" and not "oppose", though it is clear what you mean.) --bonadea contributions talk 09:04, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please comment on the actual content and not on contributors. I understand that you personally feel strongly about this article but please keep your cool in the discussion. If you have other sources that are about the person rather than just the game, and which meet Wikipedia's rules for reliable sources, please add them to the article - the insidegamesasia.biz article is about the game with only a cursory mention of the creator, though. --bonadea contributions talk 09:04, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete doesn't meet notability and there certainly aren't enough (or any) independent sources. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ Talk 14:29, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have slightly updated his article and added another source, this one says more about Derrick explaining some of his story like he was active member of the La Salle Computer Society, how long it takes him to make some games, etc etc. You people can review it, I do feel strongly about this since the sources prove this guy exist, what he has done, his games are doing well. Why is this a crime for a wiki-article to acknowledge. This should be here, so whatever else he creates in the future it'll be easier to update as he goes.Xelzeta (talk) 14:33, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of bashing this topic - and making false claims that there isn't ENOUGH sources, why don't you do your research. Anytime I type his name, I can find another article, your just not looking hard enough to care enough to contribute. Bunch of hypocrites who just want to score points in this ranking system...Xelzeta (talk) 14:39, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

comment @Xelzeta: please stop attacking others for sharing their opinion and please also see: WP:SOURCES and WP:IRS. Just because someone wrote or spoke about a subject does not inherently make it a reliable source. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ Talk 14:59, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For posterity, WP distinguishes between "sources" and "reliable sources". Reliable sources have a reputation for editorial credibility, and don't include upstart blogs such as insidegamesasia.biz, which has a broken link for its "about" page. czar 05:39, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
