The result was delete. However, since a redirect to Desktop Tower Defense seemed reasonable, I made one, and since there seemed to be no pressing reason to delete the underlying history beneath the redirect, I didn't. If anyone knows a reason to do so (such as a WP:BLP problem) let me know, and I will. Chick Bowen 05:46, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Subject does not satisfy notability guidelines, he is known only as the developer of a single popular Flash game. radimvice (talk) 04:44, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete : there is no compelling notability per WP:N to keep this article about this individual. Mh29255 (talk) 08:27, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * neutral: not very sure, would like more information. A mentioning in The Wall Street Journal indicates he's not just one of the thousands of flash game developers as the nom makes us think. --Arcanios (talk) 12:28, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Wall Street Journal is surely a good source but is one mention enough?--Habashia (talk) 13:33, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Easy. Merge and redirect to Desktop Tower Defense. Problem solved.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 15:34, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, fails to satify criteria. Jelly the Supermodel (talk) 02:52, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, all but one of the sources provided do not meet WP:RS. Lankiveil (talk) 04:48, 30 December 2007 (UTC).
 * Delete No sturdy sources to base it on. Master of Puppets Care to share?  04:54, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There are more sources out there to be found such as Salon and Forbes. It's a fun game too.  Colonel Warden (talk) 09:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. What sources? The WSJ article is about the game, and the Forbes reference isn't from Forbes, it's a press release on their site. --Calton | Talk 13:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The WSJ talks about Mr Preece in some detail. Colonel Warden (talk) 14:36, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
