No new sources since tagged with Notability in December 2007. The three added appears to be trivial mention of Sony shipments stopping and an article about a game they helped fund. Bjelleklang -  talk 21:55, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment - a WP:VG established reliable sources search shows a plethora of mentions in major media outlets. They're only mentions, however, so take that as you will. --Teancum (talk) 19:08, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - To my understanding, Play-Asia is a rather major seller of video games. I think it would be comparable to suggesting that GameStop or Game (retailer) isn't notable, which would be rather ludicrous. Also, the fact that a retailer funded a game, or got into legal issues with other companies, seems rather noteworthy, considering it's not especially common, and reliable sources reported on it. Don't get me wrong, the article surely needs a ton of fixing up, it's in terrible shape, but AFD is WP:NOTCLEANUP. Sergecross73   msg me   19:20, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I'm of mixed minds. This is arguably a very well-known company, but the article's lacking for good cause: I sifted through the WP:VG/RS and I'm not finding more than mentions (in English, at least). It was compared to other retailers briefly in several results, but I wouldn't normally count that as passing GNG. Can anyone find sales figures or articles about their business, especially in LOTE? czar   &middot;   &middot;  20:38, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Seems to be plenty of RSes online. Kotaku mentions them quite a bit and I saw an article on Ars Technica as well. There are several other RSes too. The article needs improvement, not deletion. -Thibbs (talk) 21:06, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. I live under a rock, and I've actually heard of this. Dengero (talk) 11:05, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
