Proposed Deletion (removal)
I've added references and removed the boilerplate PROD notice. Regarding its rationale:-
 * I cannot find any reliable secondary sources that can provide significant coverage to establish notability of this company.

This is questionable; the Gamefaq's game list would seem to be acceptably reliable and free from bias, and indicates that they released quite a large number of games over a large number of formats.

The implied complaint about the use of primary sources for some facts is correct if one wants to be pedantic about the rules on this. however, it should be noted that these were for things like the company address and recommended prices from the front cover(!).

Secondary sources added anyway, for technical adherence to guidelines.


 * Some of the sources given do not adequately back the given content, which also violates WP:OR (though this is not explicitly a deletion rationale).

Really? I don't see where you get that at all. The references I provided backed up the facts they were placed against with no noticably creative interpretation required.

In my opinion, the only criticism that was properly valid- rather than nitpicking on sources and vague accusations of OR- was that the article itself failed to assert notability clearly enough. This has now been fixed with the inclusion of a sentence and reference regarding reviews in the mainstream Your Sinclair magazine.

 * Taking a second look with regards to the number of games released by the company (as GameFAQs is somewhat reliable in the sense of basic data of games and not for reviews or walkthroughs). I'll probably leave it as contested.
 * As far as OR is concerned, pointing to a couple of game covers that have prices on them, does not explicitly provide verifiability of the content in the second paragraph, that "their focus is on low-budget games". Hence why I think at least that portion is OR. Hope that clarifies things better. MuZemike 00:05, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
