Universal Games

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I prodded it a year ago with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline nor the more detailed Notability (companies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by an editor (no ping, they are topic banned from deletions now) with no meaningful rationale (despite the fact that I explicitly asked for one in the PROD). The article hasn't improved since and is still unreferenced. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam.

 * Redirect to Universal Interactive, the most plausible redirect for this. This company has no N to speak of.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 21:18, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The redirect target states that Vivendi's Havas Interactive, which was renamed Vivendi Universal Games the next year, which is different IMHO to this article in question. Sadly, this article has no refs I can find which could plausibly meet WP:NCORP, but if there's another redirect target (maybe Titanic: The Board Game, but that's also borderline notable...), I'd be happy to change to redirect per WP:ATD.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete I am unable to find any references which establishes notability of the topic company. I am also unconvinced that we have identified a good redirect target and there is nothing in the article that suggests one.  HighKing++ 21:12, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
