Kip Bunyea (lead tester) (talk - history - links - logs)

Having articles on game developers and designers is fine. But do we really need one sentence articles on game testers? - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 16:43, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

  6. He's probably worthy of an article for being a character namesake alone, if we could confirm that. But per below. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 17:55, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

  • I would be inclined to keep this and the other game tester articles recently put up for deletion. Being a game tester might not seem like a big deal, but there are people out there who make their livings as professional video game testers, and it's really just as vital a production job as any other in the process of creating a new game. I'm going to assume that these people's names are also included in the on-screen credits for these games? If someone can confirm that for me, then I definitely vote keep.

    • I would agree to keep them if it can be confirmed they are in the on-screen credits. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 17:56, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
      • FWIW, we can see from this specific guy's resume that he's worked on a number of Star Wars video games in this role. I'd say that's enough to warrant keeping by itself. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:04, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
        • I'd agree with that, since he's the lead tester. But the other ones I think should remain in the TC unless/until they can be confirmed to credited on-screen in the game. Feel free to CSD this TC thread. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 18:17, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
