Selfmade page, nothing that shows he is in his own notable GameOn (talk) 08:11, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The articles SmashLAB and Design Can Change are from Eric as well. I can't see how these show any notability either. I suggest we delete all three of them for lack of notability. GameOn (talk) 08:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep The article has reference from wikipedia itself. Need reference. Looks like advertisement, close relationship with article writer, But has soeme news coverage. Needs improvement and referencing. --Its019 (talk) 05:21, 18 February 2011 (UTC) (NOTE: This user has been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet.)
 * Weak Keep The user Petiep is not Eric Karjaluoto so if "articles are from Eric" is the only reason this is nominated for AfD I don't see the problem. I'll see if I can add more reference links that are not the same ones as deleted by GameOn to beef this article up a bit. Cheers! Aaskw (talk) 13:05, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to SmashLAB. The sources demonstrate that the company is notable, but there is little or no coverage found about him personally. He is given credit for writing a book, but it is self-published by SmashLAB. Probably should combine Design Can Change and SmashLAB into a single article as well, since they basically cover the same material; Design Can Change is a product of SmashLAB. --MelanieN (talk) 15:40, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
