Deletion of Mike Perry (Maxis)

Comment: Dealing with the general notability guideline for persons first of all, it appears Perry has been mentioned in a couple of independent texts, albeit briefly, as evidenced by a quick http://www.google.ca/search?&q=mike+perry+maxis Google search, for example http://videogames.yahoo.com/gc/the-sims/preview-1064186. Although this might not establish notability by itself, and would probably lead to a 'delete' from me, 's criteria 3 and 4 help establish this article's wiki-notability. Perry was a key player in the development of SimTower, a game which received both positive and negative reviews in several periodicals. This fits criterion 3 of the five  criteria: "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of... multiple independent periodical articles or reviews". In addition, the 'significant critical attention' component of criterion 4 could be applied to SimTower, therefore, according to , Mike Perry is notable. However, the failure of the |general notability guideline still concerns me. —&nbsp;Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by

Comment: article and topic don't appear to meet WP:N.  That said, his roles are significant and it's plain that he's pretty well known in the field as he has penned, and had published, articles about his work (see article) plus he's been interviewed fairly often http://megamers.tbreak.com/5242/features/games-09-interview-with-mike-perry-ubisoft.html for example.   He certainly seems fairly well known and probably meets .  But it certainly isn't a clear call
