Article is about a non-notable development team and relies on two possibly primary sources for its information, and it has been this way since 2007. A WP:BEFORE search turns up nothing extra, so even if these sources weren't primary, it'd still be a WP:N failure per the WP:THREE recommendation. Negative MP1 22:43, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. A self-promo article that has sit forgotten for decades. -- ferret ( talk) 23:03, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. I don't think those sources meet the WP:RS standard, so it's just a vanity article. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 03:25, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Delete Obvious COI article. Not much about the studio can be found, even in gaming magazines. I cannot rule out that news articles may exist, but the article creator must demonstrate that and didn't. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 11:21, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Move to Karen Crowther and expand. Based on the articles shown, it appears to be her that is notable, not the studio label she operates under. I assume she didn't make an article on herself because she wanted to promote her game label, but it's clear from the sources it's a one-person label. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 23:19, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. There's a 1,000+ word article (read: not interview, so not primary) about the company in PC Week, already cited; another article in the Ukiah Daily Journal; and sigcov in two books. DigitalIceAge ( talk) 20:29, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

- Move to Karen Crowther. Sources presented by DigitalIceAge meet WP:GNG marginally. I'd additionally consider her to be notable per WP:AUTHOR. PaulT2022 ( talk) 00:37, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect/Merge into Karen Crowther. I agree with PaulT2022 and Zxcvbnm; the sources meet GNG for Karen Crowther rather than Redwood Games. The abstract for the 1000+ word article starts with "Features Karen Crowther of Redwood Games Inc", and the Ukiah Daily Journal article is about her achievements, mentioning that she "recently" founded Redwood Games. I think a redirect would be more appropriate, so I boldly went ahead and started an article so that there was something to redirect/merge into, if needed. - Whisperjanes ( talk) 05:14, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Move to Karen Crowther because it's borderline but is probably a good addition there. BuySomeApples ( talk) 16:30, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
