Fails WP:GNG/WP:CORP. It is mentioned a couple times in reliable sources (per WP:VG/RS) but only as passing mentions in routine coverage. Significant coverage about the company itself (as required by GNG) is lacking. This is the most in-depth I could find as it names the founder/CEO. Lastly, although not strictly a deletion reason, the article was apparently authored under a COI. IceWelder [✉] 08:55, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unless their games were notable (and thre's no necessarily indication this new Arctic Awakening will be) there's no need for an article on the studio. --Masem (t) 16:57, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are many in-depth and notable references for this studio. I've added several more to the article. These are not simply "in passing" as noted, but coverage in reputable sources specifically about the studio and the information provided in the article. The new sources added: The Oklahoman, KSBI Oklahoma Live, OU Daily, GameSpot. --Jls33fsls (talk) 15:32, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first three are routine coverage and interviews, not in-depth coverage. The GameSpot one isn't even about the company, nor does it include any significant information. Also, please disclose your COI (see WP:COIDISCLOSE). IceWelder [✉] 15:38, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and Masem. The only sources here are routine coverage or interviews, which don't establish notability. Keep vote (which is also a COI) hasn't made any convincing arguments. Namcokid 47 16:04, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
