Does not appear to be notable. There is one rather detailed Vice profile of Horton, but other than that all media coverage in the article and all I could find is trivial passing mentions. Huon ( talk) 10:52, 4 August 2019 (UTC) reply

• KEEP Vice [1] gave him significant coverage, as did The Verge [2], mentioning his accomplishments and how he did it, and talking to him as well. Plenty of brief mentions also such as Gamespot [3] "Kevin Horton, who is widely regarded as an expert when it comes to recreating classic gaming hardware on FPGA chips."

• Keep Meets WP:BASIC with multiple sources that cover the subject in detail. Besides the Vice and The Verge sources, there is this book [4] which is a WP:SIGCOV with some bits in Fast Company [5] and in this book [6]. Some coverage in Polygon (website) as well [7].

• Keep - I'm not sure the Verge is quite in depth enough on Horton himself to qualify, but Vice and the book both are to show GNG is met. Nosebagbear ( talk) 15:45, 11 August 2019 (UTC) reply
