The article contradicts itself, stating first that the subject invented the marker pen, then quotes the US patent office which says someone else did. Reference for the first claim is answers.com. Without a better ref, this has to be a delete. Note that the same info is repeated on Marker pen.

Weak Keep as this Newsday article appears to back up the claim. I'm going to add it. I can't imagine a better source, however than answers.com ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Travellingcari (talk • contribs) 16:06, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
