[edit] Hyboreal Games

Four-guys-and-a-dog software company, just organized, no products, no Google hits except their web site. Delete. Herostratus 08:41, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• Don't Delete No reason for deletion! The creators of Diablo new company. Sturmfuhrer 17:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. See WP:CORP. Just because the founders previously worked for a company notable enough to have an article does not mean their new company qualifies for one. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 18:19, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Lack of Google hits irrelevant to me due to the very recent public announcement, although "hyboreal games" do already give about 54,000 matches. A new game company started by influental game designers formerly of Blizzard Entertainment fame, with an announced Action RPG game called Starfall. Interview, press release, news article, news article, news article. -- Jugalator 09:26, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. And it looks like all those Google hits have been generated since this article was nominated for deletion. It looks like an amazing job of flooding the Internet with press releases. Unfortunately, WP:CORP explicitly eliminates press releases, no matter how many appearances, from establishing notability. This company still does not meet WP:CORP. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 10:43, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete While I don't doubt the credibilty of the members of Hyboreal Games, a new software company is just that, a new software company. After they get a few games under there belts I'll be all for having them on Wikipedia.Ognit Ice 19:03, 2 December 2005 (UTC) This user's first edit was on November 30 2005
• Weak delete until they've released something. I've no doubt that they will, and as ex-Blizzard devs, it will probably be good, whatever it is. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
