 * Delete- I can't find substantial, independent coverage on this person. There's lots of stuff by him, but not a lot about him which suggests that he's prolific but that this hasn't translated into being very influential. Reyk  YO!  00:05, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A game designer is notable if they have created notable works, which this person has done.  D r e a m Focus  00:23, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep&mdash;Notable based upon Origins Awards, publications, and refs.&mdash;RJH (talk) 18:50, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
