Keep. I live in Melbourne, so I am local to this person, but I do not know her. The references are not strong, but they are references. Bduke (talk) 01:35, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have found two other citations and added them. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 22:11, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep I have (easily) fixed the broken link references to Our Digital Heritage, and added several recent instances of significant, detailed, independent coverage: a lengthy profile and interview in The Guardian from 2022 celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Hobbit game; a peer-reviewed article in the RMIT Design Archives Journal from 2023, which covers Megler's work at Melbourne House; and the listing of The Hobbit in the collection of the Australian Centre for the Moving Image museum. By the way, Trove is not a "search engine", it is a library database, primarily known for scanned newspapers pre-1955, I don't think it can or should be used as an arbitrer of notability in Australia or elsewhere. --Canley (talk) 01:53, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is a suitable redirect target: The Hobbit (1982 video game). Pavlor (talk) 10:49, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per Carley it pass notability. DXdy FX (talk) 22:59, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - it was borderline keep with even the original (and independent) references. The Guardian one however is excellent, and easy to find. Seems like a BEFORE failure. Nfitz (talk) 03:33, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - this is a pioneer in early narrative video games, and with the many new references (thank you @Canley!) it fulfils notability requirements. Lijil (talk) 07:43, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 18:35, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
