Can't find reliable, secondary sources which provide significant coverage of this video game sound designer to establish notability under the general notability guideline. joe decker ^{talk to me} 18:09, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - He is notable in the gaming scenario (voice scripting, design and acting), a preliminary research got me the two sources needed and also a reference that makes him passes WP:GNG. ^{[1] [2] [3]} With the correct sourcing and a good writing skill this article can be improved.

Comment - After a further research I could find that he has worked on several notable video game titles, including Perfect Dark, Perfect Dark (Game Boy Color), Conker's Pocket Tales, Banjo-Tooie, Jet Force Gemini, Mickey's Racing Adventure, Donkey Kong 64, Mickey's Speedway USA, Kameo: Elements of Power, among others, he either contributed by voice acting, or by designing sound effects. This could be included into his article. Eduemoni ^↑talk↓ 02:13, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG. The one cited article mentions him only trivially. The three Eduemoni cites are all IMDB, which is not a WP:RS, and, which, alone, do not signify notability. The fact that he worked on notable video games doesn't make him notable either, per WP:INHERITED . Ravendrop 03:15, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
