This article is redundant to Game art design. The latter already addresses the overview of what this role involves (i.e. what "Computer games artist" and "Computer and Video Games" covers), and the various division into individual roles (i.e. what "The Different Roles" covers). "Generative art mods" section is already in Video game art. "The Websites" and "Places To Study Games Art" is basically spam. "The Skills" is OR and guide/advice. None of references in "References" actually address game art design, they are miscellaneous topics. Further, none are used inline. Besides uncited OR, this article has no info not covered by the referenced Game art design. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 16:37, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge if there's anything worth saving. Otherwise support delete. SharkD  Talk  17:23, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Support" is confusing in AfDs; do you mean "delete"? Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 18:24, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, delete. SharkD  Talk  17:51, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete redundant to another, better article. Also has a strange howto/POV air about it, including such highly questionable assertations as claiming that "enthusiasm" is the most important thing to getting a job in the field. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:34, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete – I agree, this is virtually the same topic as Game art design, which is a more suitable title. –MuZemike 04:22, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This is covered in both Game art design and Video game art and is basically a how-to. There wouldn't be much worth merging, more of a redirect. freshacconci talktalk 01:57, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
