Honestly, except for maybe the guy who programmed E.T. or people who created extremely successful video games series (such as Shigeru Miyamoto, Satoshi Tajiri and Will Wright), I don't really think individual game programmers are notable. I don't really think either Atari Age or Giant Bomb are reliable sources. I previously PRODed the article, but the author removed it. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:05, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

- Delete - Can't find any reliable source coverage. That said, there's nothing that inherently makes individual game programmers non-notable, if they've been written about then they're notable. FYI, Giant Bomb is a reliable source, but that part of their site isn't, if you take a look you'll notice it's actually a wiki, and the other source, even if reliable, doesn't really show that he is notable; it's just a directory listing.

- Delete per Samwalton9; there's little to set him apart from the vast expanses of game programmers without articles. Tezero (talk) 02:19, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
