The result was No consensus The argument that it is written as an advertisement is an issue that can be fixed by editing the article a bit, which one contributor here has volunteered to do. The only other issue on the table is notability, and there is not a convincing argument one way or the other on that point, defaulting to keep. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:29, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:CORP, WP:GNG and any other notability guideline which may or may not apply. Additionally, violates WP:ARTSPAM; the only content contributor is User:SpencerDouglass (talk), who is listed as the company's Business Development Manager. This user has a history of creating non-notable articles including a biography of himself. Twice. Wine Guy Talk 09:38, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - it does need a hefty rewrite but there is a list of their coverage at the end of the article (I have been keeping an eye on this for a while and don't feel notability is a problem). My worry is they seem to have gone awfully quiet leaving one edition of DevShard (from a proposed 15) although there is still some activity and the movie adaptation is ongoing - it seems like they have got wrapped up in other projects but Kevin Grevioux has got involved with them so they haven't vanished (not that'd necessarily be a grounds for deletion but it does mean we can't rule out more in addition to what is already there).

Delete written like an advertisement, no indication of notability and a possible CoI for a major editor. Simonm223 (talk) 15:22, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - concerns over advertising can be easily addressed (which I'd be happy to do myself). Notability might be borderline, but enough sourcing seems to exist to validate an article. Regards, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 20:56, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
