Aporia cross-media entertainment

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable game company. No reliable sources. The claim that genre insiders proclaimed had the best puzzle is sourced with the comment section of a blog. Google comes up with virtually nothing. IrishGuy talk 17:52, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

 * The claim that "genre insiders proclaimed had the best puzzle" is now sourced directly to the podcast itself rather than the discussion page related to the podcast (which had, also, linked to the podcast). The article now contains more sources related to various aspects of the group and the games developed by the group. With the "behind the curtain" atmosphere related to alternate reality games (part of the "This is not a game" principle see alternate reality games) it is important to consider the works of the group as well (which has had a name change) when searching for notability.  A thorough search will find this group and/or their work located on numerous blogs, forum discussions, genre specific websites, and other places throughout numerous countries worldwide.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voodoojas0n (talk • contribs) 22:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. No sourced assertion of notability. Despite ARGs being awesome. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry 12:21, 17 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep . I feel as though two of the sources within the article are very reliable. Christy Dena was used as one source and she is huge contributor to cross-media entertainment (hence the name of her site) and is used numerous times as a source for the alternate reality games article.  ARGN - alternate reality gaming network - while it is not independant of the ARG genre, it is independent of Aporia Cross-Media Entertainment and the largest news site for ARGs.  I do concede, however, that the sources used in this article are most directly related to the game this company produced rather than the company itself.  Perhaps the article should have been more on the game versus the company? Voodoojas0n 03:58, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
