• Keep and Stubbify - This is a major figure in Games studies and Ludology research. A quick Google search reveals hundreds of citations to it in RSes in this topic area, so I think it survives under UNIGUIDE. Clearly it needs to be expanded, however in this case per Jimmy Wales, I think people should relax and accomodate. -Thibbs (talk) 14:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep this is an academic program/group that has generated international coverage. Sources such as the The BBC establish notabiliy. The programs work has been mentioned in newspapers in the Denmark, France, Germany, India, Norway, Poland, The United Kingdom, and The United States. The NY Times says it "has emerged as a hub of game studies" ([1]). --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:56, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per findings by ThaddeusB (despite that fact that I endorsed the PROD [2] because I could find anything, someone came through and found something). MuZemike 17:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, has reliable sources that are about it, or about video games creeping into academia. Abductive (talk) 22:59, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
