This article concerns a board game manufacturer that does not appear to meet either WP:GNG or WP:NCORP. The references currently cited in the article are either (1) user-generated content, (2) generic storefronts for the company's products, or (3) a short review of one of their games. Even if these references were reliable sources (which they generally are not), none discuss the company in any meaningful detail, and certainly do not constitute significant coverage. BEFORE searches likewise do not return results that could be used to support the page.

I initially PROD'd the article as part of NPP but the creator contested on the grounds that "this company has published over a dozen notable games." However notability is not inherited and we need coverage about the company itself to demonstrate sufficient notability for this page. DocFreeman24 (talk) 13:40, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Sources in the article don't come close to meeting WP:N. Searching, only thing close is [1] which is little more than a passing mention. I'd love to see this kept, but I don't think the sources exist. delete but ping me if you find more sources that seem like they might get us to meeting WP:N.

  • If there are a number of their games with articles here, I'd be fine with a "list of games by Compass Games" or some such. But I don't think their games do have pages here? Hobit (talk) 18:06, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete since notability clearly isn't met for now. Retswerb (talk) 23:06, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Fails WP:NCOMPANY. Ping me if article is improved with something that shows their significance (media coverage, awards, scholarly studies of their importance to the board game industry, etc.). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:17, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete- Clearly indicates it won't meet notability guidelines and I was unable to find any reliable source through google search. Mommmyy (talk) 09:05, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above. Brayan ocaner (talk) 09:56, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
