I am not entirely convinced that this person meets the WP:BIO criteria for notability. No vote from me either way, I would just like to see if we can come to a consensus since this article has a habit of being re-created. RFerreira (talk) 23:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep. Director of Programming for Xbox Live - the largest console gaming network with over 10 million members. He has done over 100 official podcasts about Microsoft and Xbox. He has weekly segments on Inside Xbox. He co-host's a sirius satellite radio show. He also has the most popular gamertag almost every week. He owns one of the most popular blogs in the gaming scene getting over 2 million unique page hits. He is the inventor of the name the game contest which has been replicated by everybody and their mom. Oh, and as if that wasn't enough, he was voted the 9th most important person in gaming in 2006. I fail to see how he is not notable enough. --Magus05 (talk) 02:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
