Joosa Riekkinen[edit]

At first I thought it was vanity, but I'm not 100% sure. was a game developer for a year - some 600 google hits. Even if not a vanity I doubt he qualifies for notability. Grutness|^hello? 05:22, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Keep or merge with Liero which he developed during that year. Kappa 05:32, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete programmers/developers unless legendarily famous (i.e. Bill Gates, Sid Meier, etc.) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 06:01, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
Merge with Liero, since that's the only thing he's notable for. Radiant! 08:48, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Non-notable author of non-notable hobbyist computer game. jni 10:16, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Merge and redirect to Liero. The game seems to have several fan-sites even 5 years since it stopped being developed, thus it's notable. Grue 10:28, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Delete, programming one obsolete (even when it was created) game that made it onto WP doesn't seem encyclopedic to me. Wyss 03:33, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Author of a real-time Worms game that is still included with some linux distros today. Seems notable to me. It had a large community at its peak, and derivatives of it are still being developed. What harm does this entry do? Edogy 02:13, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
