Eamon (computer game) and SwordThrust may be notable, but the programmer behind is definitely not. Jobjörn (talk) 02:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC) Jobjörn (talk) 02:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep I don't understand. Why is he "definitely not" notable? You've said the games he's written are notable, it would follow that the developer is. --Canley (talk) 02:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • No, it would not. See Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria - it's very clear! He is definitely not notable because there is no published, reliable, intellectually independent, independent of the subject, reliable secondary source material that he is the subject of. A crude example: while Carl Linnaeus is notable, his father is not, even though the father's child is notable. Eamon and SwordThrust are like the children of Donald Brown.
