An argument on notability

Based on the WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:Notability (people) guidelines, arguments for Thomas Mahler's notability and keeping this article are as follows:

Mahler co-founded Moon Studios and through it co-created the game Ori and the Blind Forest together with Gennadiy Korol; the game has received numerous independent and prestigious awards, and has won significant independent critical attention.
Mahler's work with the game is known for significantly forwarding the concept of "video games becoming art" according to independent opinions.
Mahler is a creative professional who is regarded as an important figure and his comments are widely sought by peers on technology & gaming topics outside of his main focus (Moon Studios & the Ori games).

Thus, Mahler is notable as a co-creator of a significant product in his own right and through it he has gained wider critical and peer attention; not only because he was part of a company or a team. The aforementioned points are the basis of the article.

Please discuss here if there are counter-arguments. Shadowdasher (talk) 08:37, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
