  • Question: Why can't it be merged/redirected to 2K Sports? Regards SoWhy 10:38, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    The company was independent for 10 of its 13 years of lifetime, yet we have just about no information on it. The one-liner on the 2K Sports is not quite enough to justify a redirect, as the reader will find out practically nothing if they were sent there. Lordtobi () 10:50, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, they will learn that the company was later part of 2K Sports. If we delete the article without a redirect, they won't even learn that. So how is the latter preferable? Regards SoWhy 11:07, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Truly a good argument, but I think it should be cleansed of its history so it is not restored over and over by uninformed users (I'm often seeing this on redirect-AfD'd articles that some random users wish to keep against consensus and keep restoring post-closure). I think I'd not be opposed to re-redirecting it afterwards. Lordtobi () 19:19, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Their products were notable to have their own pages and one was licensed from a major (if poor) film and the other licensed a highly popular football player, the company will have more than enough sources out there to sustain an article.217.43.203.61 (talk) 19:00, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Per WP:INHERIT, this is not a valid reason to keep the article. There are sources that say that the company developed a game, but there is no actual info about the company. We don't even know who the company was founded by, for example, or when it was bought by Gaia Capital Group (which it was at one point). Lordtobi () 19:19, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect - This outlined above is probably the best outcome. As it can't satisfy it's own article, and is later purchased by 2K sports, a redirect is preferable. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 08:31, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
