This article is about a video gaming platform that has not received sufficient coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. Note that this platform has yet to be released. As best as I can tell, it is in beta testing based own their won web site. The only coverage is this NY Times reprint of a tech blog which is really about the company raising some funds.

And Wikipedia doesn't ever talk about products in beta testing? Anyway, this article from the San Francisco Cronicle is not a reprint of the NT Times: [1], it is about their presence at GDC 2011, this one is about the launch of a program to fund third parties: [2], this one about Strawdog Studios mentioning singing a contract to develop a game for the Turbulenz platform: [3] and Strawdog Studios is a recognized entity in Wikipedia: [4].

I have found a reference to the presentation Turbulenz gave on the NVidia Booth at GCD 2011: The Future of Browser Gaming with the Turbulenz Engine, this is the direct link to the recording of that presentation: [5], I guess NVidia is a reliable source?. Btw, you can see part of their product offering running on their YouTube channel: [6]. 86.17.249.8 (talk) 19:17, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know how to identify press releases, and why these must not form the basis for Wikipedia articles? Marasmusine (talk) 10:20, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Giving a presentation at GDC on NVidia's Game Technology Theater is a press release? You obviously think NVidia allows anyone to pop into their booth to present stuff, right? Well, they don't, it is usually a personal invitation based on their knowledge of your technology and they are very careful to associate their names with other people.

Delete - I was only able to locate press releases and other primary sources. We cannot base an article on these (WP:V). Marasmusine (talk) 12:25, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The company exists, they gave a presentation at GDC 2011 and two creditable sources, NVidia and Strawdog Studios, are aware of them or working with them directly. Latestversion (talk) 13:25, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
