WhatIf Productions

Delete, doesn't seem notable. EdGl 21:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I argue against the deletion of this entry. In fact, give me a few more days and I'll post some more info on here. Knoland 17:00, 16 February 2006 (PST)

I just read the Wikipedia:Guide to deletion and the rules outline that this has all three criteria. Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:No original research and the info I provided should meet that criteria. If your opinion is that this is not notable then that does not qualify this for deletion, unless I'm missing something? Knoland 17:00, 16 February 2006 (PST)

Yes, you are missing something; read this official Wikipedia policy. If you can meet the criteria listed there, then this article may be kept. EdGl 22:57, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, that is a guideline, not an official policy. Ardric47 17:52, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The game they made, NTE: Strike and Retrieve, has over 29,000 downloads as of August1. I can only speculate what the current downloads are, but from what I've been able to dig up, it's well over 50,000(adding up all the different downloads from all the different carrier sites such as fileplanet and gamespot. The software criteria for submissions has been met for the NTE: Strike and Retrieve and I thought it would be okay to have a little blurb about the company that made it. Perhaps I should merge this with the NTE page? Knoland 19:30, 16 February 2006 (PST)

Perhaps; let's see what the consensus is. If this game you mentioned is as popular as it seems, then this article could be notable yet. EdGl 00:55, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and Whatif was on the advisory commitee for the OpenGL shader spec1, specifically the GLSL portion of the spec. Knoland 20:00, 16 February 2006 (PST)

This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 16:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not satisfy WP:CORP#Criteria_for_companies_and_corporations. Monkeyman^(talk) 17:31, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:CORP.--Isotope23 19:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Despite the to-and-fro above, the company doesn't satisfy the criteria laid down in WP:CORP. (aeropagitica) 21:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:CORP. "A company or corporation is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself. This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations." Which has been met, I just haven't had time to finish this entry. Knoland 17:30, 22 February 2006 (PST)
