Article is a biographical article which does not appear to meet the inclusion criteria expressly stated at Notability or Notability (people). There are a few sources which indicate the jobs he has held, but there are no substantive, third-party sources which show that this person has been noted extensively in the world outside of Wikipedia and his own places of employment. I don't see much more detailed than a Curriculum Vitae as a reference here, and as such, this person does not appear to merit an article at Wikipedia. Jayron32. talk . contribs 04:27, 18 April 2009 (UTC) I just realized that given your "notability" comment I inadvertently omitted an important reference. That is the reference to the 2009 Hugo Award nomination, that appears at the Hugo Award website. Per the notability criteria I believe the nomination for this award causes the subject to rise to the level of notability required. I shall add the footnote to the article immediately. Thank you.Stu Segal (talk) 12:26, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Editor of Wierd Tales is notability, along with the award. .DGG (talk) 14:28, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Although notability isn't necessarily inherited, for me the fact he is explicitly acknowledged in the Hugo Award nomination pushes him above the threshold. Cosmo0 (talk) 14:41, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nomination for a Hugo implies notability. JulesH (talk) 14:53, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Withdraw nomination. Because new information has surfaced which was not readily apparent at the time of nomination, I am withdrawing my nomination to delete this article.  Specifically, the Hugo Award nomination seems a clear indication of notability. --Jayron32. talk . contribs  19:05, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
