There's no question Mr. Maxey exists. Either he or someone with his username created this article. He is, however, lacking in attributes that would pass WP:GNG or WP:NBIO.

His BBS existed, and he/the BBS got a few mentions (two paragraphs in a WIRED article), otherwise it's just self-promotion.

See also concurrent AFDs for Event Horizons BBS, Oregon State Media, Inc. Addendum: [http://www.bbsdays.com/people/jim_maxey/ this (clearly auto)bio says he was a creator of the GIF? It also has a ton of detail on him as a person.] tedder (talk) 18:28, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete The sourcing here is not enough to justify an article. I am less than convinced that the article on the BBS he founded meets notability guidelines either, but that can be saved for a seperate discussion on that article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:59, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect as suggested, provided that Event Horizons BBS makes it through AFD (which at this point looks likely). Otherwise Delete. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 17:26, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
