 * Merge Agree with Wknight. If it doesn't happen anymore, no need to have an article about it. Angryapathy (talk) 14:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep'. Once notable, always notable. All the coverage in the references cited above makes me think the topic must be notable. "If it doesn't happen anymore" is never a valid reason to delete an article. - Eastmain (talk) 20:58, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand using the additional sources provided by nom. Notability isn't temporary, and the event seems to have gained decent coverage. --Taelus (talk) 10:31, 2 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge - it's about a press conference, so maybe deserves a line in Ubisoft, but not its own article. JohnBlackburne (talk) 22:55, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Ubisoft. Right now this article stands as more of an advert-esque entry, which could be cleaned up, but it would be better served in the parent article where it can have a paragraph or two that covers everything here. --Teancum (talk) 12:23, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Ubisoft as per above. A fully referenced section in the Ubisoft article could save this information, as it is regarded as notable. AirRaidPatrol 84 (talk) 15:10, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
