The result was keep, without prejiduce to any further modifications. Creating an article on the series as opposed to having individual articles on each game is an editorial decision, and outside the scope of this AFD.--SB | T 02:16, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gus Goes to Cybertown
The article does not make a claim as to the notability of the subject. It is also linkless. Vectro 16:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep or create an article on the "Gus" series and merge into that. A quick Googling shows this to be pretty notable by kids' software standards, including such accolades as being selected for the "1994 International Summer Consumer Electronics Innovations '94 Software Showcase". Hurrah. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Can you cite a source for that claim, and can you show us that winning the award is an important achievement in the software world? Keep in mind that just because it won a minor award does not make it notable. Hundreds of works of all kinds win awards yearly, but not all of them are worth making articles for. A game that won Best Shooter of E3? Notable for sure. A game that the Anytown, USA Librarian's Award for Teaching Addition Pretty Well? Not so much. Also, delete, not-notable. ♠PMC♠ 18:23, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Source is this, which is a cache of the company's press page. The Innovations awards are part of the Consumer Electronics Show which absolutely IS a big deal. For what it's worth, the Innovations are still given out... a list of 2006 honorees is here and includes big names like GE, Kodak, Samsung, and Philips. It's absolutely not some insignificant regional award by any means. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

- Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as an article on the series, rename as apropriate and don't create individual articles on the sequels. Thryduulf 15:18, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
