Masthead Studios

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NCORP. Twenty one hits on Newsbank, 8 of these are from examiner.com and the remaining 13 are PR wire services. No gbooks hits except reprinted Wikipedia content, a Who's Who in Bulgarian IT entry, and a passing mention in PC Gamer. Even a straight google search seems to bring up nothing other than product announcements and Wikipedia mirrors. &mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 16:32, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - Seems Earthrise alone was rather significant but I'd say their notability is fading. They do have a second notable MMO game and an iOS game.  There doesn't seem to be much about them as a publisher other than these two games however.  I guess I would equate them to a minor league baseball team. They do have a lot of passing mentions in significant gaming news sites as a result of Earthrise though. Beakermeep (talk) 05:30, 25 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Lack of sources and coverage specifically about the studio in reliable sources. Earthrise's notability is not inherited by Masthead. -- ferret (talk) 01:31, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
