Help
There appears to be some discussion about the Notability of the page for Geomerics. This has been declared relevant by the group that follows video games, but questioned by others. The point of the page is to provide a basic reference source for students studying videogames. They are invariably interested in what technology is used in what game, and in tracking improvements in game technology. It is also a point of call for anyone interested in realtime radiosity and graphics algorithms. Please advise what needs to be added to increase 'notability'. I stopped short of a detailed description of the product as that seemed self-serving. The references take people to suitable locations. I consider refereed SIGGRAPH papers and talks to be a clear sign of notability. Having a SIGGRAPH submission accepted is the gold standard for graphics research.

Also, please let me know if there is an accepted form of words to flag up that the page was initiated by the developer of Enlighten. Its not something I've tried to hide (else I would have used an obscure user name and my university email address). Chrisjldoran (talk) 13:15, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I moved this message to the bottom to make it easier to read. Also, the page has already been tagged as a potential conflict-of-interest, so there is nothing more that needs to be done with that regard. (Thank you for declaring your conflict-of interest.) As per the notability concerns, it would help if you could add some reliable sources like newspaper or press coverage of your company.
 * One final note: I have removed the PROD as invalid because the PROD had already been contested in the past. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:33, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Chrisjldoran (talk) 10:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC) OK, more references have been added to external press coverage, including the FT and the Guardian. I've tried to keep the language as neutral as possible, possibly to the extent of saying too little. But it is easy for interested parties to follow the links and start adding information if they view it helpful. Happy to hear any feedback. Now I must find time to work on the Geometric Algebra page, which deals with my University Research and needs an update!

Geomerics
Dr. Doran,

We've been working to save the Geomerics article that you created. Outlook seems good that it will not be deleted.

The battlefield franchise has been on of my favorites for years and when I first saw the previews one of the first things I noticed was the lighting in the game.

Keep up the good work!
