They are neat and all but one is enough don't you think? - Dicecollector29 ( talk) 03:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
I note that Dicecollector29 has removed the notability cleanup template from the article Erol Otus with the comment "starting cleanup - notability esteblished via reference of extensive tsr contributions and imdb".
Claims of notability must adhere to Wikipedia's policy on verifiability; it is not enough to simply assert that a book meets a criterion without substantiating that claim with reliable sources. Since the sources cited (pen-paper.net and imdb) are directories, they do not meet the criteria of reliable sources: see WP:BIO for details.
As this article have no reliable secondary sources to demonstrate the notability, I am requesting that the cleanup template be restored, so that editors other than yourself will be alerted to the fact that additional citations are required.-- Gavin Collins ( talk) 16:42, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
I really think his official website should be removed because its not even up yet. If it ever is finished, someone can bring the link back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.169.148.16 ( talk) 22:38, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
I have reinstated the additional text regarding the competitors and winner of the 1980 GenCon XIII AD&D Masters Tournament, which had been removed twice. This information provides significant context for the event and references important members of the RPG scene at the time. There is a similar line on Mentzer's own page referencing Lakofka and Otus to which no-one seems to object. In any event, additional accurate information does not harm the article and the alleged rationale of direct "personal preferences" of the subjects does not seem to be meaningful grounds for encyclopedic decision-making.
