Comment. The article says it is about a short lived Japanese video game developing studio. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:13, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Obviously a once-notable company in a fast-changing market like video games is going to be hard to get a lot of up-to-date sources for. But it seems quite notable enough for WP to record for posterity. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:21, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case can you direct us to sources covering the subject. The article currently has no sources and for the subject of an article to be considered notable under Wikipedia's defination multiple indpendent sources with non-trivial coverage of the subject is required. The subject may be notable but so far it has yet to be proven to be so.--70.24.211.105 (talk) 22:24, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References Added OK, I've done as you asked. More refs can be found but perhaps that'll be enough for now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:35, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those added "references" only serve to show that the bulk of the article is merely a copy&paste from http://gdri.smspower.org/wiki/index.php/Ukiyotei (close enough for a ((Db-copyvio))?) … they do not represent WP:RS coverage of the subject, and that site is just another wiki, which by definition makes it ((Unreliable)). — The Bipolar Anon-IP Gnome (talk) 08:51, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there are two or more independent external sources for almost everything, and all lists of the same thing will be very similar. I don't know how the author(s) made their list. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:59, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
