- Keep Fatshark's development of a recent game, Krater, seems to have gotten quite a lot of coverage last week. Very timely!:
- Fatshark announces post-apocalyptic action-RPG 'Krater'
- Fatshark announces post-apocalyptic RPG Krater, valiantly attempts to explain it
- Fatshark is making a Krater
- I also found two interviews with developers in company regarding two different games that were somewhat successful: [1] [2]
- All in all, I'd say this is enough coverage.
I'll add it to the article now.Added. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 06:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: These sources are not reliable per WP:RS. They are blogs with content derived from a Fatshark announcement. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:02, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Why are they not reliable? And what is wrong with coverage that discusses the content of announcements? They are made by independent sources, so I do not why they should be discounted. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 18:01, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- The user very likely only signed up to comment on this discussion; adding that note was justified. — Jean Calleo (talk) 22:07, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- And considering the extreme lack of interest in this AfD, an WP:SPI to include also User:81.224.129.54 may be appropriate. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:51, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
