Contested PROD (though contestor in no way addressed concerns). Fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:CREATIVE. Not a well-known or influential figure in the video game industry, despite claims. The only reference that even looks legit is actually to the bio page of his writing partner on a blog site. No independent google hits outside of comprehensive databases like IMDB and Giant Bomb and a single book listed on Amazon, none of which confers notability. Writing for some low-budget movies and games does not confer notability. Kuguar03 (talk) 05:23, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - doesn't seem to pass WP:BIO or be notable as an author. Robofish (talk) 01:15, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
