I don't think this is notable, or that you could get reliable sources for it. Previous AfD was over a year ago, so we're doing it again instead of G4ing. Amarkov ^blah_edits 18:52, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article is in need of significant improvement, but if the statement that he was one of the founders of the company that produced Runescape (one of the largest MMORPGs in existance) is true then he's quite notable. Tarinth 19:24, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is eduhistory.com credible? See article including Gower at: http://www.eduhistory.com/RuneScape-runescape-cheats.html --Kevin Murray 21:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm seeing hints around that he is the creator, but can this be re-referencing of WP creating a circular rumor. --Kevin Murray 21:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This press release, while not compelling evidence may serve as an exhibit which lends credibility press release reprint --Kevin Murray 21:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Product/investment review mentioning Gower: stocktools.com appears independent. --Kevin Murray 21:30, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Jagex - Profile, Alarmclock.com, October 27, 2005 is this credible? --Kevin Murray 22:10, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Time Online (London?) http://www.timesonline.co.uk/richlist/person/0,,39448,00.html discussing Andrew Gower's wealth. --Kevin Murray 22:22, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the rumor thing, if you simply LOOK on the page that I put as a source, you can read everything on that page. I don't see why this person can't be notable. He made one of the biggest MMORPG's to date, with thousands and thousands of players. He's an interesting person, and I felt that it would be nice to inform people about him, since not much is commonly known. ~ rih29 00:31, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per apparently credible sources (above) which seem independent and non-trivial. Upon some evidence of consensus, I can rewrite this article and add the references --Kevin Murray 22:22, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
