editI added some more references to the employee credits. I added a hatnote for disambiguation. Zeldazidane (talk) 00:48, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
I removed the automatic Zynga Dallas redirect and created a page for the current Bonfire Studios, which is unrelated to Zynga Dallas. I found the original redirect confusing and misleading. I understand that I should have been clearer for the reason for my edits, and also signed it originally. Thanks for your patience I'm still learning.
Need to add some more references, and a hatnote to direct back to Zynga Dallas.

This redirection to Zynga Dallas is in reference to a game developer named Bonfire Studios that was renamed to Zynga Dallas in 2010 and was subsequently closed in 2013. Request that this page is updated to reflect the existence of a new game developer named Bonfire Studios.
Bonfire Studios is a video game development company based in Irvine, California. The company was founded by former Blizzard Entertainment and Nexon developers in March 2016.[1][2][3][4] Mversluys (talk) 03:12, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

- @Mversluys: Hi. While this new studio does have coverage from reliable sources, I think it might be a little premature to create an article as these sources only cover the founding and establishment of the studio and there doesn't seem be any coverage since. When the studio is subject to more coverage from reliable sources and notability is established, I think a mainspace article can be created. A hatnote can then be placed on the article to distinguish between the two studios. In the meantime, I have copied your proposed article to a draft here: Draft:Bonfire Studios. --The1337gamer (talk) 23:51, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
- @The1337gamer: Hi. Thank you for looking into this, and thanks for the insight regarding notability. I'll update in the future when there's a stronger case for meeting the notability requirements. It is worth noting that the existing article is seems to be stretching to meet the requirements of notability, but in it's current form it does misslead readers to form an opinion that Bonfire Studios (2016) is affiliated with Zynga.
