No notability asserted to warrant an article about this individual. A designer of notable games isn't inherently notable. clpo13(talk) 06:32, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep CEO of a notable company; designer of multiple notable games. Edward321 (talk) 14:39, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete — notability is not inherited, especially when there are no reliable secondary sources anywhere per WP:BIO. MuZemike (talk) 15:05, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: found reliable third party sources for this guy: here, there, and elsewhere. I know some people feel iffy on interviews, but I'm pretty darn confident this guy is notable. His name is synonymous with the Capitalism (video game) series -- which I've never played, but has a huge following which has extended to a bit of cult of personality. He's a poor man's Sid Meier.

- Keep - a game designer not inheriting notability from games that he designs? That goes against common sense, especially when he has designed multiple notable games. A game designer is known by his work so of course the games he designs are part of his notability. And Randomran has dug up interviews of the subject to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:47, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
