Delete I spent many quarters playing Street Fighter, but alas, I was unable to find any significant, reliable sources about him. Bgwhite (talk) 06:11, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep He co-creating a game that made over a billion dollars.  D r e a m Focus  00:27, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Request for more information I don't see how being a co-creator to a game with a sales revenue of a $1.5billion is an automatic keep. Would you provide the justification why this person should have his own stand alone page? Cantaloupe2 (talk) 11:14, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete I have to agree with Bgwhite: there's one fairly tenuous reference to him having authored this game, and nothing else. It's not clear that any of the English-language sources given is not some sort of Wiki, and most info here is unsourced. Mangoe (talk) 02:38, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no doubt that his name is in the credits, and that he did in fact author these games though. That one accomplishment should be enough to prove him notable.   D r e a m Focus  02:48, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That's all he is, though, when it comes to sourceable facts: a name in the article for each game. Mangoe (talk) 02:54, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Among 100s of verifiable game authors, there is no justification why this man should be assigned his own stand alone page. In absence of it, it does not pass the Pokemon test.  I believe it should be deleted unless something to substantiate his prominence over plenty of other game producers can be established through reliable sources.

 * Delete. Not seeing sufficient in-depth coverage to verify notability or justify a self-standing article. --DAJF (talk) 11:18, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
