Game studio of Tencent. Standalone notability appears insufficient, perhaps WP:TOOSOON. IgelRM ( talk) 11:20, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete After five years, they've never actually created a game, so this is more notable for being yet another gaming industry money effigy pit more than for its actual value as a game studio. Nate • ( chatter) 20:56, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep The studio deserves a page. They've just announced their first game.

- Announcing a game doesn't give you a free pass to have an article about your game and studio, since Wikipedia is not for advertising spam - it needs an encyclopedic reason to exist.

- Delete or Draftify given the announced game may come to fruition. But this obviously attracts WP:GNG. Put it this way, if the studio's notability hinges on the studio's announcement of Last Sentinel, an article for Last Sentinel itself would be draftified for being WP:TOOSOON. Pre-release coverage for things yet to materialise should always be dealt with caution as the coverage is largely reliant about what the studio is saying about itself. This is indicated by the presser-style news articles, and inclusion of interviews and YouTube channels. The studio just hasn't reached a point yet where anything can be said about it other than what the studio is announcing and telling media itself. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ ( talk) 01:55, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

- Merge with Tencent Games. The studio isn't notable by itself. One announced game won't change that, and sources are more likely to report on that game than on the studio specifically.
- Merge to Tencent Games as WP:ATD, unable to find anything that meets GNG/ WP:NCORP. HighKing ++ 19:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
