- Comment. It doesn't belong in Virgin Group. The article clearly states that the company was sold. As of August 6, 2022, FT.com says Virgin Games is owned by Bally's. Cielquiparle (talk) 16:07, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep. Nominator has been blocked as a sockpuppet. Part of a rapid-fire mass nomination of gambling companies with zero ]

- Redirect to Gamesys, which acquired Virgin Games in 2013, and is now part of Bally's Corporation. Initial search in Wikipedia Library yields 2,015 results, but the first dozen or so are brief mentions in articles that are actually about Gamesys, or articles based on old press releases issued by Virgin Games before it was bought. The article as it stands now has little in the way of meaningful, reliable information that needs to be merged into Gamesys. (I've now updated the Virgin Group template to make it clear that Virgin Games falls in the "Former" asset category.) Cielquiparle (talk) 22:10, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect. Cielquiparle makes a very good argument, and the fact that the original nominator was a sockpuppet doesn't really enter in to if the article meets standards or not. --WhoIs 127.0.0.1 ping/loopback 09:22, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
