[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dark_Territory_Studios&diff=442407483&oldid=442196804 Contested PROD]. Article does not meet notability guidelines WP:GNG -- no significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources yet. All hits are directory entries or job ads. The company has not released any games or received any media attention. Anticipating the argument that this is an indie studio or that other indies should be deleted too -- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Additionally, employing notable industry professionals does not establish notability either -- WP:NOTINHERITED. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 19:56, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Delete - Not notable. Seems like an advertisement article written by a staff member. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 01:47, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

:Copied from Talk:Dark_Territory_Studios#Deletion of this page:

Oppose- These studios are run by the youngest person in the gaming industry as well. These are a valuable studios. When you ask to cite the sources, what do you mean by that? Facebook pages, their official website & advert postings? Otherwise these Studios deserve a page as they are fast growing and soon are releasing a demo. I should know. Any questions regarding these Studios and need extra sources, ask me and I'll try and get some. SportingLisboaXI (talk) 12:01, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

:Please read the introduction of Wikipedia:Notability and the first section "General notability guideline" (GNG). This is how topic notability is established on Wikipedia. It is very unlikely that a studio will become notable (in Wikipedia terms) and receive media coverage before it releases a game. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 13:13, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Delete - not verifiable. Being run by the youngest person in the industry might be a claim to notability, if it can be verified through a reliable secondary source. Facebook, official websites and adverts are primary sources. Hope that helps. Marasmusine (talk) 10:16, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
