[edit] Downfallout

Although this company is verifiable, I am not convinced that it is notable. Anybody can make a website and publish a press release for their game, but this does not prove that the game or the company is notable. The website doesn't appear to have an alexa rank. Unless notability verified, delete as not-notable; possible advertisement. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 16:43, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Fails to meet guidelines in WP:CORP. --howcheng [ talk • contribs • web ] 21:57, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

• Save. I would contend that this entry is notable based on the historical significance of the game and the contribution to popular culture made by its creators. I believe this article highlights a unique moment when the contentious nature of an American presidential election aroused enough international attention to allow a video game featuring its main candidates to become a success. --StJohn79 02:00, 19 October 2005 (UTC) [ talk ]

• Delete A fine try StJohn79, but the notability of this election does not make everything that tries to capitalize on its "success" notable. This company is not yet successful in its own right. --Reflex Reaction 20:26, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
