• Obvious Keep. Am McGee is clearly notable from the available sourcing. Now whether it is written as an autobiography or has had self-promotion/COI editing, that's aspects to be fixed, but there's zero question about Am McGee's notability within the video game industry. (note that the nominator is a relatively new editor so may not be aware of the rules here). --Masem (t) 12:21, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
• Keep, plenty of sourcing exists in the article as it is, and his creation of works such as American McGee's Alice means that he meets notability guidelines. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 13:29, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
• Keep: per GNG (sources in article) and point three in WP:ARTIST "played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work" Justiyaya 14:07, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
• Keep it is a notable person, however they does seem to be some self-promotion. Still not a reason to delete. Gabe114 (talk) 19:05, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
