This is merely a list of content available from this organization, and should be removed as per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. There is already a link from GameZombie to it's web page, which is sufficient. wikial (talk) 02:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Delete - I think it's sufficient that the official site already lists the interviews, plus they have a You tube library of all this. If this list was something that supported other wiki articles on the subject, then I'd say keep. But it's not a reference list. Possibly add the link to the You tube library into the main article. Also, the number of game designers interviewed could be added to the main article, with perhaps a few famous designers mentioned, but to list every person is too much. Ebonyskye (talk) 03:05, 1 August 2009 (UTC) Keep - The strongest argument for keeping this article is that this library of living, notable video game developers has value to anyone interested in the art and business of interactive entertainment. I agree with Ebonyskye that the list could be enhanced or made more relevant by making it support other wiki articles on the subject. Also, each individual developer interview could be followed by a brief description of the content of the interview, the exact date and game conference, internal links to relevant wiki articles, and perhaps an external link to the interview on the web. Television programs often contain exhaustive lists of episode details. Here is the equivalent for people researching the video game industry. Furthermore, this list calls attention to certain notable game developers for whom a wiki article should exist, but for whom one has not yet been started. Simply providing the external link to the complete library does not sufficiently explain for video game scholars the depth of opportunity for discovery that this rich and growing developer interview archive contains. — CrossfireCT (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
