Author contested PROD but concern still seems noticeable. Notable only for FNAF games - WP:BLP1E TL22 (talk) 01:04, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Same concern as the nom I had when I came across this at WP:VG/R, and I will give the same suggestion here: Redirect Five Nights at Freddy's (series) unless he develops any new notable games that is significantly outside the FNAF series. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 03:24, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - "Notable only for FNAF games" doesn't come off as a valid reason for deleting his article, imo. Besides, there are some reliable sources for the articles. TouchArcade, IGN, Kotaku bear some fruit on some information to add onto the page. GamerPro64 03:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Nominators reasoning isn't a valid reason for deletion, he's notable per those games. --Anar chyte 09:29, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - If he's only notable for one game franchise, which in itself is not universally-known, he is not notable enough to have a Wikipedia page about him. If we keep this, we might as well make pages for the dev of SCP - Containment Breach, and Slender: The Eight Pages, and every other slightly-popular indie game out there.

Keep - His significance is sufficient for an article on Wikipedia. Look at Kevin MacLeod. I guess their significance are similar. --Fazbear7891 (talk) 22:33, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
But not because of that we're going to keep this article. WP:WHATABOUTX --TL22 (talk) 22:46, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - If he were only here for the FNAF games, it would be a weak keep, but finding out that he's also involved with Hope Animations changes it to a flat-out keep from me. FNAF may be his most popularly-known project, but it's certainly not the only thing he's done - Noah's Ark was in development in 2005, as an example. I will say that the article could use a lot more detail about non-FNAF things, though. And a lot more refs, but then again, what article couldn't? NekoKatsun (talk) 15:53, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Now that I think about it, you're right. I don't think the article really needs to be deleted, but we need more info on stuff that Cawthon has done aside from FNAF. If that were to happen, I think the article would be much better. Killerwhale24680 (talk) 19:01, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
