Entirely non-notable. References are, putting it very kindly, insubstantial. AfDing rather than speeding because some people might consider being responsible for a couple of non-notable games is a claim of notability; there's nowt so queer as folk. TheLongTone (talk) 15:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

I believe the following related pages should also be deleted for lack of notability, and have added them to this AfD. - ubiquity (talk) 16:38, 31 May 2016 (UTC)




 * Delete: does not meet WP:GNG. Plenty of references, but they don't establish notability. ubiquity (talk) 16:27, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Keep: meets standards defined in WP.GNG. As the author of this article, I have verified that the article and references establish notability:
 * Significant coverage is referenced
 * Cited sources meet guidelines for reliability
 * Secondary sources are cited
 * Content is independent of subject
 * Therefore, the subject can be presumed to be suitable as a stand-alone article

Removed date of birth per request below. I still believe this is a notable topic. Vrinvestor (talk) 17:20, 31 May 2016 (UTC)


 * None of the sources that you cite indicate independent coverage. A link to Amazon, or the App Store, or PR websites may establish that this person exists, but they do not indicate notability as Wikipedia defines it. Press releases or user-submitted content websites are by definition not independent of the subject. shoy (reactions) 17:55, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete All 3 - I don't agree that the sources are reliable but I'll say that he and his games do exist. Where it fails quite obviously is that there is no notability for this subject or the games that he has made which can be more specifically found in WP:NGAME.  In looking into Ryan Marfone, I can see that is is "investing in Virtual Reality".  Possible WP:COI issue? - Pmedema (talk) 15:49, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Please delete this - Hello, I am Ryan Marfone. While I'm super humbled that you want to create a page for me I kindly ask that you take this down. I'm not a fan of publicly displaying my personal information on a site that can be edited by anyone. - ryan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryanmarfone (talk • contribs) 18:10, 31 May 2016 (UTC)  I also want to add that I'm not a notable topic. I'm just a normal dude. Please delete.

Tagged with G7 after original author blanked page in response to request of the apparent subject of this bio. dstone 66 (ṭạḷḳ) 20:34, 31 May 2016 (UTC)


 * So far this has not happened with the two game articles, so they are still under consideration here. ubiquity (talk) 21:23, 31 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete both games - unsourced and no claims of notability. shoy (reactions) 15:16, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: I've deleted the original article under G7 as the creator blanked it. I'm leaving the AfD open to discuss the two other articles though.  Hut 8.5  21:42, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete both that still exist, nothing at all for any minimal independent notability, newly started indie games with nothing else convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  06:13, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
