Appears to be a run-of-the-mill game writer with no external signs of notability Mattyjohn (talk) 01:03, 29 January 2018 (UTC).

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep if more sources can be found, otherwise move to WP:DRAFT-space so it can be worked on. BOZ (talk) 23:35, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete run of the mill coverage, nothing of note.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:28, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Interesting one - he's a reasonably prolific author in an under-reported field, working in an era when most of the publications were in print and not online. Therefore, notability is going to be harder to establish than just hitting Google. Looks notable to me under category three of WP:CREATIVE, given that he's contributed significantly to both Dungeons & Dragons and the World of Darkness. Also likely to meet WP:AUTHOR as reviews exist of his works, both on and offline for example Orpheus and EverQuest RPG GM Guide. Adders (talk) 19:10, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete the article isn't even a biography but just a list of works by a particular author, none of which appear to be notable on their own. SportingFlyer (talk) 16:52, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
