Page is a single line from the subject's own press materials, lack of citations for notability Legotech (talk) 06:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete There's certainly information available on Google, by concern is this will be yet another article created by a fan or the subject themselves, which never ends up being expanded or including encyclopedic information —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rotovia (talk • contribs) 07:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. You don't think the article will ever be expanded? WP:SOFIXIT. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. He was on World's Greatest Magic! Not notable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazylaces (talk • contribs) 15:44, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Subject has had newspaper articles written about him (one by the New York Times which I've linked to) which establishes notability. -- Neil N   talk  ♦  contribs  07:06, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Although I don't necessarily think anyone featured in a New York Times article is notable, this guy seems to have a significant web presence, including reviews. -Elmer Clark (talk) 07:54, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's not just the New York Times that thinks he's worthy of note . Phil Bridger (talk) 13:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Kind of a borderline case.  Although many of his web mentions are promotional, I'm convinced of his notability and verifiability by his patent record.  --Lockley (talk) 16:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm willing to withdraw now that there's more there...how do I do that? THANKS to everyone that punched it up.Legotech (talk) 02:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Cheers Legotech, and thanks to you. --Lockley (talk) 03:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
