Fails WP:GNG. I am unable to find significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources. The few sources I did find, like IGN and Engadge are trivial mentions of a couple of paragraphs each, and they attribute a forum post as their source. As far as I can tell, there are unfortunately no sources from when the subject was alive. I considered that the subject might meet WP:ARTIST, but I can't find any secondary coverage of a collective body of work. Woodroar (talk) 19:49, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

- Delete, as I alluded to in the WT:VG discussion. I don't think he meets NARTIST, and he definitely doesn't meet GNG. This feels like pure fancruft better fit for a Sonic fan wiki. λ NegativeMP1 22:08, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Funny that you mention the Sonic fan wiki, because the article was copy-pasted from there yesterday. Our licenses are compatible so I added an attribution template above the references. There aren't any copyright issues, thankfully. Woodroar (talk) 22:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- I wanted to make a quick foundation for a wiki page, in between jobs, since I thought it was shocking that he didnt have a wiki page Charliephere (talk) 22:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- It worked out in this instance because our licenses were compatible. If they hadn't been, it's possible that the article would have been automatically deleted and you may have had your editing privileges removed. Please be careful next time. In fact, I would strongly urge you not to copy-and-paste any content on Wikipedia, even between articles, unless you know what you're doing. Woodroar (talk) 22:23, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
