Delete: Article relies heavily on unverifiable sources of information as well as first party and self published information. The article also fails to establish WP:Notability and appears to be highly WP:Promotional. BlitzGreg (talk) 12:02, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2014 February 8. —cyberbot I ^Notify_Online 12:25, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and clean up. The article is close to being a blatant promotion for the company at the moment. However, they've recently been profiled in-depth in Fränkische Nachrichten and their recent HandyGames Charity Day also receoved a write up in the Main Post. An article this week in Finanzen.ch profiles the company calling it the "industry-leading games developer and publisher". All this is in the last two weeks, so I fully expect there are enough decent, reliable news sources to create a useful Wikipedia profile. Sionk (talk) 13:42, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The current ones that you cleaned up are still just bare links though, 7-22, they are all just base links to the website, those are not even close to citations. BlitzGreg (talk) 13:48, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what you're saying. I haven't cleaned-up the article (yet). Sionk (talk) 13:59, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, if you check the edit log it was someone else, but the issue still remains. BlitzGreg (talk) 14:00, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The need for clean up, or bare urls versus complete citation templates, are not grounds for deletion though. -- ferret (talk) 23:35, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The proposal for deletion is the result of the content appearing at best highly WP:Promotional and also failing WP:GNG. BlitzGreg (talk) 00:51, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the company and its games have received coverage in reliable independent sources. Awards. Candleabracadabra (talk) 00:57, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Coverage in several RSes (e.g. IGN, GameIndustry.biz, etc.). Multiple third party RSes = meets GNG. -Thibbs (talk) 13:24, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
