Importance

This Article should be Highly Important, because Revolution Software made one of the most successful Adventure Classics of All Time! Plus - it was found by a Legendof the Gaming Industry: Charles Cecil! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 7arazred (talk • contribs) 12:42, 17 September 2011

Per the Importance scale for WikiProject Video games, companies are ranked Top-importance (article forms the basis of all information) if they are highly influential companies, particularly the major Japanese, American, and European companies involved in video game production, e.g. Blizzard Entertainment, Capcom, Nintendo; they are ranked High-importance (article covers a general area of knowledge) if they are top developers and publishers, e.g. Epic Games, Neversoft; they are ranked Mid-importance (article fills in general knowledge of specialized topics) if they are most other well-known companies in the industry, e.g. IGN, Gamestop, Naughty Dog; and Low-importance otherwise. Personally I'm reluctant to go even as high as Mid-importance, because no evidence has been provided of this company being well-known, so I think that Low-importance is justified. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:00, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I personally think the company is mid-to-high (leaning to high) importance, since you could say it "has been proven notable (more will be added)."

3rd GA nomination quick-failed

I am removing the current GAN on this, as none of the concerns from the previous GANs have been addressed. Please stop re-nominating this article for GAN as multiple reviewers have already shown how this fails by a mile. Consider this a quick-fail on the nomination. –MuZemike 21:40, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
