Not my field, but the sources do not seem to actually show notability , and there do not seem to be any actually notable games yet produced. DGG (

Keep COI here because I made the article, and I knew this was coming up, especially since the article had been previously deleted. Their games, at least Hot Wheels Open World, have significant coverage, and there are more sources covering this specific game than just the one in the article. This is aside from the company itself, which has been covered by
TechCrunch and
VentureBeat. Waddles🗩🖉04:22, 23 September 2021 (UTC)reply

DGG:WP:RSP does say that it may not be useful for verifying notability, which indicates in some cases it can be used, and it appears it's mostly just a caution for determining whether it's a blog or a news article, or a press release. If TechCrunch doesn't work, there still are two others on the article which means there's
WP:SIGCOV, and the fact that the company is the first professional company to develop games within Roblox, an independent game, which is noteworthy. This is aside from Hot Wheels Open World yielding a ton of results when searching in news. Waddles🗩🖉14:56, 23 September 2021 (UTC)reply
In this instance, Telecrunch is a promotional interview with the founder; so are VentureBean and GameWorld Observe, the sort of promotional interviews where the founder says whatever they chose, and therefore not reliable for NCORP. License Global is composed of excerpts from those two articles; the Autoblog article is just an announcement that they plan to do a review. If you know of better, please add them. DGG (

Delete Since this is a company/organization, the applicable
Guideline is
WP:NCORP which lays out the criteria for establishing notability. The criteria requires references that provide in-depth information *on the company* (see
WP:CORPDEPTH) and also containing "Independent Content" (see
WP:ORGIND ie. not based on stuff announced/provided by the company). None of the references provide anything remotely approaching the criteria for establishing notability. Interviews fails ORGIND when the journalist fails to add any "Independent Content". Articles talking about one of their games only serves to (perhaps) point to the game's potential notability, not of the company. Topic fails NCORP.
