An argument on notability
Based on the WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:Notability (people) guidelines, arguments for Thomas Mahler's notability and keeping this article are as follows:
- Mahler co-founded Moon Studios and through it co-created the game Ori and the Blind Forest together with Gennadiy Korol; the game has received numerous independent and prestigious awards, and has won significant independent critical attention.
- Mahler's work with the game is known for significantly forwarding the concept of "video games becoming art" according to independent opinions.
- Mahler is a creative professional who is regarded as an important figure and his comments are widely sought by peers on technology & gaming topics outside of his main focus (Moon Studios & the Ori games).
Thus, Mahler is notable as a co-creator of a significant product in his own right and through it he has gained wider critical and peer attention; not only because he was part of a company or a team. The aforementioned points are the basis of the article.
