The information posted for BMI Gaming is questionably accurate, and the more research I do, the more this page appears to just be an advertisement for the company. I don't think the information is appropriate for a Wikipedia page and I think more factual information about the company would be useful ShawnM25 (talk) 15:35, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, couldn't find any real coverage about the company. Also per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. mabdul 11:47, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- I accepted this article through AfC in 2008. It seems to meet notability criteria and was not overly promotional at the time. Perhaps it can be neutralised and better written, but this is an argument for improvement not deletion. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:03, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Keep. Could it be a subsidary of IGT? UsedBeen20 (talk) 08:17, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment:Can you clarify this comment for me? IGT is a disambiguation and I cannot see the relation between BMI and IGT (atm). mabdul 11:17, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: There are two pages on their site that may help us find sources. Feature on Anderson Cooper 360 and BMI in the News. If we can find a secondary source for the A360 clip, I think we'd have enough for notability, at least. — trlkly 00:11, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as failing WP:GNG; the article contains no references to substantial coverage by reliable sources, only claims of inclusion in various rankings, which is not a sufficient basis to write a verifiable article on; also the reference links are broken. Sandstein 07:21, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep If the information is inaccurate, this could be fixed, but it doesn't need deletion. Dew Kane (talk) 16:11, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep Needs more sources and doesn't meet WP:NPOV, but I suspect with the help of a decent editor this could be improved. Would help if the refs weren't all dead links. -Rushyo Talk 23:06, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
