Merge discussion seems to lean toward deleting based on notability and OR. The article has been unreferenced since 2007. Ost (talk) 17:40, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Dab seems reasonable per S@bre. —Ost (talk) 15:11, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak delete per my merge discussion comments. Director is either a) synonym of producer or b) lead title of some other role (technical director, art director, etc.) In principle, any role and any project can have a "director". But in this case there are no RS specific to video game directors. There is no clearly defined name in VG industry, so we see this used interchangeably. Thus the arbitrary indiscriminate list of "I saw this person listed as a director" in the article. —  HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 17:47, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate per S@bre; just makes more sense. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 20:40, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Convert to disambiguation page. Suggest following Game Developer magazine's example covered in that merge discussion, and provide links to technical director, art director, creative director and sound director. I agree somewhat with Hellknowz that the idea of a "Director" within the games industry isn't defined well, as its usage changes on a case by case basis between these roles or another type of product leader. It is, however, a perfectly pheasible search term so something should be at this page name to help direct readers to more apt articles. -- Sabre (talk) 20:21, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
