Dave Gilbert (game designer)[edit]

Non-notable biography which fails WP:BIO. No reliable sources to support importance. Andre (talk) 21:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BIO. Establishing notability and finding review sites as reliable sources for indy games is something that needs to be ongoing here on WP. However, creating articles on their developers seems like a step too far, when there's so little to put in the articles. QuagmireDog 00:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a minor aside, how much can be written should not be a criterion for keeping or deleting articles. A million short articles about not particularly exciting subjects are far preferable to a dozen long and boring rambles about stuff that doesn't merit it.

Keep. I don't know what all the alphabetti spaghetti is supposed to mean but no reason not to have a short article on anyone who creates "notable" computer games. Grace Note 10:30, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
