nominated for a7. declined on the grounds that "some of their games have notability". notability is not inherited. fails WP:CORP Gaijin42 (talk) 16:34, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: I found no notability. The games are notable, but this company isn't. SL93 (talk) 23:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The only credible information I could find were two mentions of the same event, where the company matched charitable donations, and verify the location of the company. Not enough to keep an entire article, I don't think. SilentVendetta (talk) 04:40, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep The custom Google search for reliable sources approved by the Wikiproject for video games, shows 7,650 results. . That is a lot to wade through but I found this one:  But Zindagi's talent clearly doesn't stop at the ability to craft phenomenal motion control mechanics. Many of the nuances of Sports Champions were lost on its casual audience.  And then they also say, among other things, We can be pretty certain Zindagi's working on something for the PlayStation Move. The company describes itself as a "PlayStation Move developer" on its website, and apparently played an integral part in the development of the controller. We also know the company was recently hiring for a PlayStation 3 project. Whatever they're cooking, we have the utmost faith in Zindagi concocting a title that justifies the PlayStation Move for a second time, and hopefully we see it at E3 this year. Seems like enough mention of them in that article to count as notable.   D r e a m Focus  02:23, 10 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I found an interview that Product Manager Colin O'Hara did on G4TV. But the video won't load up for me.  Anyone able to see this?  Does he talk about his company or how they do things, or just about their products?     D r e a m Focus  14:23, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I also was unable to get the video to load, looks like it might be a dead link. wouldve been a good find for keep though. Gaijin42 (talk) 14:41, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Here's the direct link to the FLV: (archiveurl). If you still can't view it from that link, convert the video to another format (e.g., MP4) and it should work. Goodvac (talk) 19:43, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: I'm unpersuaded as to the notability of the subject. Even presuming that the blog post cited above is a reliable source - and I'm unpersuaded of that as well - Dream Focus is of course aware that the GNG requires multiple reliable sources which discuss the subject in "significant detail," and that it is never appropriate to declare a subject notable with only one such source.

 * Comment: There is only a single Keep proponent, and four editors advocating deletion. Why was this relisted even once, let alone twice?  Ravenswing  06:21, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete I am sort of surprised that an article with this clear a consensus was relisted twice. Once I understand but the second time is a bit of a surprise. The subject does not appear to be notable. -DJSasso (talk) 14:56, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep per DreamFocus. Appears to have been received some secondary coverage. Cavarrone (talk) 12:00, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Lack of multiple independent and reliable sources providing significant coverage of the topic.--Yaksar (let's chat) 04:33, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - After several searches, just not finding significant coverage in reliable sources for this topic. It seems that this article cited above (Feature: Dream E3 Announcements: Zindagi Games Announce True PlayStation Move Tennis Title) may be questionable as a reliable source, although it is third-party. Northamerica1000(talk) 06:50, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment There was a video above provided as a reference, but nobody seems to have seen it (it may have some technical problems, but that wouldn't invalidate it as a source unless the problems are insurmountable). Deleting is premature before evaluating all the sources available. Could someone access the video and provide a summary of how it covers the company? Diego (talk) 13:11, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Reply: I just went to the link and watched the video myself; I had no problems doing so. It's a three minute convention clip where the product manager speaks, exclusively, about the upcoming Sports Champions game.  The notability of that game, of course, is not in question.  There was no discussion of the company.  Ravenswing  22:48, 23 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. From the given sources, the video is not about the company and about their product. Pushsquare article does comment a little on the company itself, but this is hardly significant coverage and this isn't multiple sources. There seems to be a similar case for every non-directory/forum/ad source I looked through. So it seems to fail GNG. The games and products are notable, but of course, NOTINHERITED. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 15:35, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as others have pointed out, the company fails the "significant coverage" test. Mt  king  (edits)  07:54, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
