Company has no established notability. Notability of Mortal Kombat franchise is irrelevant. No released games, and little coverage in reliable sources. NOTE: -- Changed vote to Redirect per comments below. --Teancum (talk) 12:55, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak OpposeOne could find some notability under this name, but it's limited.Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 15:18, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm all for keeping an article when there is established notability, so if there is any please provide proof here and by updating the article. To just say you "could" find it doesn't help. --Teancum (talk) 17:18, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I say could. Maybe after the game is released, then it'll have notability but until then... maybe not. (If you can redirect instead, that would be great, just keep the history because this article shapes up well as a beginnning article). Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 02:24, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be fine with a redirect (preserving page history) for when it becomes notable. As Subzerosmokerain, this studio is likely to become notable in the future, so a history would be useful. --Teancum (talk) 14:45, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to parent company Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. There's little published information about NetherRealm itself - most news hits discuss MK9 with only brief mention of the developer. Marasmusine (talk) 20:13, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Merge/redirect — to parent company. —mono 03:13, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, but I would redirect it to Mortal Kombat, as that appears to be their sole focus. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep New Mortal Kombat game makes it notable. Portillo (talk) 12:01, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of the game does not equal notability of the studio per WP:NOTINHERITED. There is also no indications it passes WP:CORP. --Teancum (talk) 01:28, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
