The result was keep. - Mailer Diablo 15:39, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

J. Hunter Johnson

This article has been prod'ed, de-prodded, speedied, de-speedied, discussed on the talk page, etc. It's not clear to me whether its subject meets WP:BIO, so let us discuss it. (Liberatore, 2006). 15:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• weak delete as there's certainly a number of books and other works published by the author, but I'm not sure if there is enough for notability. Mister.Manticore 16:26, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
• comment as the author (in violation of WP:AUTO, explained on the Talk page), I won't vote, but the nominator for deletion appears to have done so in retaliation for my nomination of Steve O'Keefe (attorney) for speedy delete. Number of works doesn't appear to be a criterion, just "who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work". Some reviews:

  GURPS Monsters on RPGNet

  GURPS Monsters on GamingReport

  GURPS Japan on RPGNet

  GURPS Japan in Out of the Box (archived)

  gToons has been covered in USA Today (2002-08-30)

  Roliste (French)

  Pen & Paper RPG

  Some of the books have reviews on Amazon as well, but I'm not sure if they "count", so I'll leave them out. -- JHunterJ 17:10, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, so you made Gtoons? Could you tell them to fix it? :) Still, it's a bit troublesome to have you as the subject and author of the article, though I don't think you are doing anything specifically improper, and I understand your desire to not be confused with other people named Hunter Johnson. So if anybody else wants to chime in to keep it, I'll go with them. Mister.Manticore 17:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

If any of the other J. Hunter Johnsons (there's a lawyer in Texas, and a newspaper editor from 1904) gets a page, then I'm in trouble. (I have gotten them to fix several things, but obviously not everything.) -- JHunterJ 17:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Clarification: I have nothing to do with Steve O'Keefe (attorney); I presume the above comment is about the anon editor who tagged the article with speedy, prod, and then afd (but could not complete the nomination for the obvious reason that anons cannot create new pages). (Liberatore, 2006). 17:48, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Right, sorry -- I'm familiar enough with the sequence that I didn't recognize the ambiguity... -- JHunterJ 17:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, author of various notable game supplements. Kappa 06:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep-Cleanup by WP:RPG The man is a published author, (in an albeit specialized genre of Role-Playing Games.) WP:BLP suggests caution here, specifically Dealing with edits by the subject of the article, especially the part where it says. "The Arbitration Committee has ruled in favor of showing mercy to the subjects of biographies, especially when those subjects become Misplaced Pages editors" I suggest we flag this for attention by WP:RPG and have them clean this article up to conform to WP standards. At the very least, userfy instead of delete.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Roninbk (talk • contribs) 09:55, 19 September 2006.
• Keep, author with several widely-available published works. Noteworthy within the genre. Shimeru 18:30, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Anybody can get published. His edits blow. I agree with the guy who said this article is about a hypocrite. Anybody who patrols wiki like JHunter does needs to be watched. 65.4.111.33 05:08, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Page was created as a disambiguation of other people with similar names (Hunter Johnson, etc.). Jokestress 08:20, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
