Not notable. Nakon 21:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep Not enough WP:RS to give a straight keep but the notability seems to be there. treelo  talk 22:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - Notable as a co-creator and the lead programmer of Furcadia, the longest-running MMO currently in existence, with over 70,000 regular players, and as a composer for Finnish television (MTV3, Moskito Television, etc). -kotra (talk) 23:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Neutral: WP:BIO states the person should have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. At present there are only two references in the article. I am not sure if this meets WP:BIO or not.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 19:50, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge all relevant info to Furcadia. 2 sources do not qualify as significant coverage when this is on a guy that reated a video game. Big whoop. I'm an Editorofthewiki[citation needed] 21:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not just a guy related to a video game, he's also a TV composer and the president of a small business. There's no appropriate place to merge that information to. -kotra (talk) 21:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It can be merged to Furcadia. Highlight a small buisiness. No mention of TV composing, and it also would usually have an article in the Finnish Wikipedia first if he is all that notable. I'm an Editorofthewiki[citation needed] 23:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * His TV composing is mentioned. "He is also a music composer associated primarily with Finnish television." As for the Finnish Wikipedia, it's not exactly the most comprehensive Wikipedia. It doesn't even have an article on Albert Einstein, if the interwiki links are to be trusted. (apparently they weren't) It only has 163,000 articles in comparison to English Wikipedia's 2,386,000. -kotra (talk) 01:09, 27 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep -- It is sourced. Notability established.  I think merging is a disservice to readers.  Separate articles allow readers to place just Furcadia on their watchlist, or just Aleksi Asikainen.  Furcadia isn't this guys only activity.  Geo Swan (talk) 20:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
