Hal Berger & Fenton Rosewarne

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Apparent autobio of minor businessman Hal Berger from. (I have no idea who Fenton Rosewarne is, or why he's in the article's title). Berger does indeed have a couple of mentions in the news (e.g., 1, 2), but these are in connection with his son's onetime kidnapping. Berger personally received essentially passing coverage, with a couple of paragraphs of mention in maybe one or two human-interest type pieces. This heavily fails WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:ONEEVENT, and certainly does not establish notability for a standalone article on Berger (and Fenton Rosewarne? Huh?) with detailed resume, work history, client list, and on and on. PROD contested by Hberger.  Glenfarclas  ( talk ) 04:55, 15 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I disagree Berger's involvement with the Power Glove which was the first interactive video controller is very newsworthy.WP:Product . It was the first time that a virtual reality controller was used to teach robots how to simulate human movements and adapted into a consumer product.Wikipedia cites the power glove. The power glove was featured in the film the "Wizard" featured on the cover of the video. article cites Berger's involvementarticle cited to support


 * Berger created "Masters of the Maze" TV show already cited by Wikipedia.WP:People http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_of_the_Maze Berger's son's kidnapping is also newsworthy to the extent Hollywood is developing a story with an EMMY winning writer Adam Mazer from the Jack Kevorkian story. .WP:People Berger's son was abducted twice in less than two years. It is not a one time event. Berger works with the U.S. Department of State to recover missing children around the world an ongoing task/event. end of article discusses Berger's work. I agree Fenton Rosewarne's name should be deleted as there is no reference to him or his background other than it appears that he worked with Berger on Masters of Maze?

 * There is no User:, you're just Hal Berger posting from an "anonymous" IP and faking a name using the formatting from my sig. Nice.    Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 20:54, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I have edited or created every article on WP related to international child abduction. The information on the topic included here is flat out wrong.  eg... "In the first case of its kind in Hague’s history Hal’s case..." is complete nonsense.  It's not the "first" such case, it's not the 1000th or even the 10,000th.  Admittedly, the sheer hyperbole in this claim jaundices my view of all the other (unreferenced claims.)  I'm completely unfamiliar with the "Global Missing Children Fund" and their involvement/advocacy related to ICA, but more to the point this "fund" is not at all notable per WP:Noteworthy on its own merits.  Neither the section on it, nor the rest of the article has any references whatsoever and seems like an effort at self promotion.--Cybermud (talk) 22:45, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
