Talk:Michael Todd (video game developer)

Parenthetical disambiguation
Looks like the common practice is to use "(game developer)" instead of "(video game developer)". See Category:Video game designers. We should have this page moved to Michael Todd (game developer).. but I'm not sure how that's handled on Wikipedia. Anyone? -- Psyced (talk) 20:37, 30 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, my account is auto-confirmed, so I can just move it. If no one objects, I'll be doing that within the day. -- Psyced (talk) 21:59, 30 January 2014 (UTC)


 * After some very scientific Google searching, "(game developer)" is in the lead on the whole of Wikipedia: 25 vs. 10 (not including this article). However, articles on video game development use "video" in the title so, in the name of Total Correctness, my trigger finger is relieved of duty.
 * Actually, the presence or lack of "video" seems to be random. The Game design and Game programmer articles are all about video games.. Perhaps someone else can find a compelling reason to switch, but I don't see much of one apart from the counts. -- Psyced (talk) 01:54, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

I don't feel "game developer" is descriptive enough, as this may include board game developers, physical game developers, etc. Video games are their own unique industry. -- SlickVicar (talk) 3:59, 01 February 2014 (UTC)

Social Media section
I don't think Wikipedia wants these kinds of sections (especially in the article proper), so I've removed it. See #10 at External links. Also, if we look at Tim Schafer, for example, there are no links to his social networking accounts, so perhaps they should also be elided from the external links section as well (which is really the focus of External links). -- Psyced (talk) 21:02, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Agreed. -- SlickVicar (talk) 4:00, 01 February 2014 (UTC)

Notability Tag
Page now has numerous secondary sources. Notability tag suggests adding references from academic journals, but ... that's not gonna happen. Page has 10 references. To compare, the page for legendary game developer Ron Gilbert has 12 references. Only 11 of those are secondary, and four of them are from the same source (Eurogamer.net). I feel the page, as it stands, makes a sufficient case for notability. I'm working on arranging the licenses to add an image of the developer in the Infobox as an additional source. -- SlickVicar (talk) 4:11, 01 February 2014 (UTC)
