Lack of notability as per WP:BIO. Subject is one of four founders of a popular website, but no other significant work. Sources are subjects own articles or Twitter conversations. Suggest redirect to the website page Rock Paper Shotgun instead. Slartifartfast (talk) 00:28, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Rock Paper Shotgun: Doesn't seem independently notable. I checked WP:JOURNALIST here as well but I don't see evidence that he meets any of those pillars either. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 02:39, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm ok with the redirect. The site is more notable then he is I think. Oaktree b (talk) 14:21, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * With my comment out of the way, I looked into this: a redirect to Rock Paper Shotgun seems like the best option. Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 17:14, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment I am greatly hindered in doing research on this because the RPS and the gamasutra sites have the WORST cookie options I have run into in ages - not allowing you to reject ad or matching-across-site cookies. I'm appalled that folks claiming to propose open rights in one area are more invasive than every other site I have approached lately. Lamona (talk) 20:14, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Rock Paper Shotgun. Redirecting to this is our best bet. `~HelpingWorld~` (👽🛸) 22:25, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
