- While I'm painfully conscious of the various linguistic and cultural biases in this project, that doesn't constitute a free pass to say, "If you knew about them, you'd see they're famous." --Orange Mike | Talk 01:43, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I never said keep. I'm inclined to let the 5 days pass, and see if anyone will attempt to address the notability issue, if not, then I agree with deletion. Possibly send a copy to the author's sandbox/create one.ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 01:53, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak delete. The article claims it one an award three years running, however it doesn't look like the award is very notable. It also co-published Angels Online, but notability isn't contagious. The article is also severely lacking in third-party sources, making the whole article read as one big ad. —BradV 05:11, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep Minorly notable. They've produced several MMORPGs besides just Angels Online. Google search reveals 197,000 hits outside of the company website. No specific coverage that I can find in major newspapers, mostly just minor mentions in gaming websites. The Chinese references that I can find don't seem to be much better, either, although on balance I think this could be remedied with time. However, I've removed one section as a copyright violation, so it may be that other sections are also copyvios, although I couldn't find the sources.--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 12:29, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think that the article needs work, not deletion. Also, just because an article doesn't demonstrate its notability doesn't mean that the subject is non-notable. -Drilnoth (talk) 03:14, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
