The subject of this article does not appear to be notable. The references presently in the article are puff pieces and press releases, or otherwise not obviously reliable (according to WP:VGRS). The only reference from the VGRS CSE (search) that isn't a false positive is this article in Kotaku, but that article isn't about the article topic. No hits in the CSE for the video game they've apparently developed. Izno (talk) 11:30, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep The amount of sources are not huge, but it was mentioned in Venture Beat and Pocket Gamer, both reliable sources, and those weren't "puff pieces" as they were written without any use of copy paste or quoting PR. There are also several reliable interviews with the company's founder about their activities._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 11:07, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  The sources largely miss the boat on WP:SUSTAINED. --Izno (talk) 13:58, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  Redirect - I would like to change my vote to redirect to Samson Mow, the founder of the company._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 15:23, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• A merge/redirect per Zxcvbnm looks reasonable, per the dearth of long-term sourcing. --Izno (talk) 14:07, 19 August 2017 (UTC) When I remembered I submitted the AFD ~ woops! --Izno (talk) 23:18, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've PRODDED Samson Mow as it does not meet the criteria for establishing notability. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 16:52, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment You should really have done an AFD, not a PROD. It's kind of ridiculous for PROD to determine the fate of an AFD, since if the redirected article might be controversial to delete, then the target would obviously be controversial. But if the base article is deleted then this should also obviously be Deleted._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 18:19, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yeah, makes sense the way you put it. My bad. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 19:11, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:GNG. References are either about products/games or fail WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 16:52, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete -- A directory-like listing and sources do not meet WP:CORPDEPTH. They are largely WP:SPIP or routine corporate developments. No evidence of a cult following or significant impact on the gaming industry. Just a private company going about its business, so delete. K.e.coffman (talk) 09:23, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
