Contested prod. Software with no assertion of notability. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 05:53, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Please define non-notable.

GameSalad was the first tool that allows non-programmers to make games for the iPhone. Several publication have already "noted" it.

It is comparable to:
 * Unity_3D
 * Construct_(software)
 * ShiVa_(game_engine)

Why keep those and not this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lexanderx (talk • contribs) 06:06, 11 January 2010 (UTC) — Lexanderx (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep with option to revisit this discussion in a month. The article, as written, does not show enough coverage in secondary sources to demonstrate notability. However, the news search above returned several hits, so it would seem sources are out there. (Note: of the three links Lexanderx provided, only the MacWorld story has in-depth enough coverage of GameSalad to count toward general notability.) Personally, I think the nomination was premature, and improvement is the order of the day for this article, not deletion. However, if time goes by and sufficient sources are not located, then I think deletion would be in order. —C.Fred (talk) 06:20, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep—this has quite a few reliable sources including a major British newspaper; I genuinely don't see the problem here. ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  without portfolio  ─╢ 09:33, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
