The result was redirect to Sony Interactive Entertainment. The consensus is that the subject does not meet WP:NCORP mainly due to a lack of significant independent coverage. However, editors agreed that the studio is a verifiable part of its parent company's history. Since the current text was noted as inconsistent and poorly sourced, a redirect to Sony Interactive Entertainment makes more sense than a merge, preserving the search term while placing it in a clearer and more accurate context.

Appears to fail org notability. A company that was created from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe in 2002, but only listed on two The Gataway games, with one being with London Studio and the third being canceled. If I understand correctly, the lead says closed the same year 2002 but the infobox says 2008. Appears the relevance period is from 1994 to 2002, but then the article name is rather misleading and the 1996 Next Generation is the only source that covers that period.

- Redirect to Sony Interactive Entertainment, the parent company, becuase Team Soho developed multiple notable games. Kelob2678 (talk) 09:46, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
- Fine with the suggestion; But again, technically Team Soho of 2002, developed only The Getaway. IgelRM (talk) 19:21, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
