Larry Ormson


Appears to be a hoax; the information here is completely unverifiable. I previously speedied it, but there is a weak assertion of notability here (despite the fact that it isn't verifiable), so I'm bringing it here. Core desat 20:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete If a source ever turns up proving a real connection with Trivial pursuit then this can be rewritten in 1 min. Meanwhile delete this as likely hoax and certainly unverifiable.Obina 20:54, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, I live in Wisconsin and this is pretty much true, but non-notable. They didn't invent the game, they didn't originate it, they only made the plastic "wheel" markers for the game. --Dhartung | Talk 21:56, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * According to the Google hits, Larry Ormson of Elroy,WI is mostly notable for being a tax cheat and peddling quack diet remedies, (2 out of a total of 6 unique ghits for "Larry Ormson"). These two items should be included in any encyclopedic biography of Mr. Ormson. Delete Tubezone 23:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, yeah, let me add WP:COI as a reason to delete this article. Page blanking autovandalism and sockpuppetry should be a good reason to ban the author as well. Tubezone 23:45, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, author blanked the page. I'll take that as an indication he wants it to go away, so I took the liberty of tagging speedy as CSD G7. Tubezone 23:53, 19 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Agreee to all the above, author seems to like recreating NN deleted articles, and a block should be considered. -- Armadillo From Hell 00:01, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Dhartung does not know what they are talking about NPI and Larry Ormson did and arranged 100% of all the manufactoring of Trivial Pursuit they even impoted the dice from Tiawan, Larry Ormson built the first tooling when the game was to be called Triangel Pursuit. Without the organization and gamble of building the first molds with NO ORDERS the game would not been able to launch as fast and strong as it did. Selchow and Righter did not have a lot of money to invest in this game and did not imangine it would sell 20,000,000 the first 2 years. Fortune magazine 1984 has an article on Larry Ormson and Northern Plastics role in making Trivial Pursuit a sucess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eddyhaskel (talk • contribs)

Yes I agree selling Chitosan should be added, also the tax case is true and if someone wants to add it that is great, I served a 2 1/2 year sentence in Duluth MN Federal Prson and  Florence CO, my inmate # is also available on BOP.GOV, I did only serve 16 months and all taxes have been cleared. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.179.43.203 (talk • contribs)
