I'm not a bio-writer, and not exciting about defending notability, but 24,000 google hits for ["George Olshevsky"] if anyone wants a starting point to do more work here! Tom Ruen 01:33, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I emailed George about his wiki-bio and his reply is below. Tom Ruen 02:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Gee--no references at all to my "magnum opus," the Official Index to Marvel Comics, which comprises about 60 published volumes (I lost count after a while)--twelve produced by Tony Frutti and me, and some 50 or so by Marvel Comics Group, from 1975 through about 1988. This project supported my wife and me and eventually bought us a house in California. Also self-published are ten issues of the newsletter Archosaurian Articulations, four editions of self-published Mesozoic Meanderings, and paleo/dino articles in Science Digest, Omni, the Scientific American Book of Dinosaurs. Also about a dozen serial dinosaur articles in the Japanese dinosaur periodicals Dino Frontline and Dino Press. And co-authorship of Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs for Publications International as well as a few minor dinosaur kiddie books and such (search my name on Amazon and you'll find most of these). None of this is of any real significance, of course, but it's more than what seems to be on the wiki page.

Dinogeorge clearly has adequate claim to fame, and suitable references are 'out there'. Deleting this page until they can be identified and added would be invidious to say the least. I have deleted theDeletion notice. Guy Inchbald 19 November 2006
