Deletion of Cubicle 7

Comment: has become redirect target for several games. Probably squeaks by on notability but barely. More 'benefit of the doubt' to help consensus than any strong feeling on notability. Fails . Specifically the sources provided fail  because they are essentially niche or trade magazines where they are not straight from the Cubical7 website. The awards are cited to a wiki and the ''Geeknative'' interview is just that, an interview, which again fails ORGIND

Comment: firstly, a big thankyou to the above editors for a fascinating afd (at around 8,000 words compared to 700 words for the article being discussed it almost makes the "Coola's big afd list but will probably go into my "Hmmmmmm, interesting.....AFDwise" list anyway), now, i am amazed that a company that has won/been nominated for multiple awards and has numerous wikiarticles about its products may not be deemed notable for its own article (if C7 was a person this would have been a slamdunk), although both sides of this  argument, ahem, discussion put forward excellent points, i am leaning towards a '''Keep''', as  "is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.", i believe C7 is one of these exceptions

Comment: The ''Designers and Dragons'' series is borderline as an academic source: since its publishers Evil Hat Productions (which, NB, is notmay not be completely  from Cubicle 7 per our article on it) and Mongoose Publishing are not academic publishers, looking at https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=1282645395213229513&as_sdt=5,39&sciodt=0,39&hl=pt-BR how it has been cited per  shows hits in in a few dozen theses, some tiny start-up journals, and https://books.google.com/books?id=mSm6CwAAQBAJ&lr=&hl=pt-BR&source=gbs_navlinks_s a collection of essays on RPGs from McFarland & Company. I can't find the text, but taking it on |good faith that one of the volumes of this series discusses Cubicle 7 at length, GNG and  require a minimum of significant coverage in at least one more independent reliable source
