Gaius Stern
The subject of this article is asserted, without verification, to have co-founded an organization. He is not especially notable within his community. NatusRoma | Talk 05:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:57, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Apologies. NatusRoma | Talk 18:37, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep - At least attempts to assert notability, citing an award, for which there is a wiki article. Just on the edge of keep though and better to err on the side of caution.Chris Kreider 12:09, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Actually, it doesn't even say he co-founded an organisation, he 'assisted' two others.  The award is not exactly a Nobel prize is it?  So he organises quizzes.  As does the barman at my local pub.   Emeraude 18:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * To respond to both of the above comments: The Carper Award is (probably) more notable than any of its recipients, and is certainly more notable than Gaius Stern, so having an article on the award doesn't mean that we should have an article on its recipients. Even among the U.S. quizbowl-playing community, Gaius Stern has little notability either as a player or as an organizer. That said, the quizzes that Gaius Stern organizes are more notable than the ones that the barkeep at Emeraude's local pub organizes. NatusRoma | Talk 01:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
