 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested prod. Biographical article about a computer games designer. No evidence of notability per WP:CREATIVE or more generally per WP:GNG. Some of the projects he has worked on are notable but notability is not inherited andy (talk) 09:29, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep – While all in the context of the release of Perfect Dark Zero and GoldenEye 007, Botwood was featured in an interview with IGN here, Eurogamer here, and 1UP.com here and here. Also, while not necessarily a reliable source on its own merits, another interview with Botwood here. There should be enough mention for him to pass on notability standards. –MuZemike 21:48, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The standards of WP:CREATIVE are pretty high, but even disregarding that where's the compliance with WP:GNG? Goldeneye is notable but notability isn't inherited (otherwise I'd be notable because I saw the film and played the game!). andy (talk) 23:42, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you not think he passes #3 of CREATIVE? "played a major role in co-creating" = senior designer; "a significant or well-known work that has been the subject ... of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" = GoldenEye. Marasmusine (talk) 17:31, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete What we need is interviews with the designer about himself, not interviews about his companies with him as the spokesperson.--Sloane (talk) 21:03, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Rare (company) and use the sources to improve that article. Marasmusine (talk) 10:28, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
