 * I don't think that's true in total:
 * For example:
 * "Volk has worked extensively with Activison, he designed the (M.A.D.E) game engine and was technical producer of the 1992 game Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2, Return to Zork, The Manhole, Rodney's Funscreen and other adventure games"
 * Two of those games in the above passage is liked to articles that specify Volk's role:
 * Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2: Gas Pump Girls Meet the Pulsating Inconvenience from Planet X! - Programmer
 * Return to Zork - Producer
 * (in the case of Manhole it lists Activision as the original publisher).
 * Additionally later on:
 * From there he moved to Avalon Hill Game Co. where he started the quality assurance division for the Microcomputer Game Division at Avalon Hill. from 1979-1982 where he created the games "Conflict 2500", "Voyager 1" and "Controller"
 * Conflict links to him (designer), Voyager has him listed as designer/programmer but does not link back, and Controller links back to his page.
 * Then:
 * In October 2019 William Volk produced and published The Climate Trail, a post-climate apocalypse game based on the classic game
 * Links to the Climate Trail website that has Volk as the Designer/Developer on the TEAM page: https://www.theclimatetrail.com/climate-trail-team
 * If wished, I would like to edit and take out items without references and place references in the article. VideoGameVet (talk) 02:16, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: He is credited for The Pyramid of Peril and Mac Challenger in the GAMES section as well. VideoGameVet (talk) 03:57, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Plenty of hits in Crypto blogs or websites, which seem associated with him; this is typical of them . Anything crypto is a huge red flag. This in the IBT is about all there is, and it's an iffy source. Oaktree b (talk) 19:05, 22 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete. Pretty evidently non-notable, and seems to be made for promotional reasons. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 09:32, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
