Non-notable game designer. Very little independent secondary source material. Brianga (talk) 22:14, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I personally think the article should stay, but it does need more sources and information. The reason I think it should stay is because of him being the head of the company nDreams and his importance to it and also his past work with SCi Games and Eidos Interactive.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep, but tag the article with some articleissues tags. Person is notable enough for the gaming industry. --Teancum (talk) 02:42, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep concur that this individual is notable; senior in his industry, game and book author. JJL (talk) 03:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - So, there's a social networking site, Moby Games, and a blip on his publisher's website? These are our reliable secondary sources that prove notability? Has anyone actually read WP:N? No, he is not notable, in his field or otherwise. Notability is not conferred because you yourself have taken a look at his credentials and were impressed. Notability is not a job interview. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  20:37, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with nDreams / Weak Keep: I usually check Edge magazine for coverage of game industry figures. July 16, 2007 Interview with O'Lauanaigh, May 30, 2007 article. The subject of both is really nDreams - although the interview does have a bio of O'Lauanaigh so I can support a weak keep. His latest twitter message says he's doing another interview with Edge.

 * Weak Keep - Per User:Marasmusine. An Edge bio is good enough for me. -Thibbs (talk) 20:20, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
