[edit] Alex Randolph
I have some questions as to the notability of this article's subject. Without significant expansion, I fail to see the subject's importance to the encylopedia. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 07:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

- This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:31, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep The subject is notable enough to be mentioned in Academic Gaming Review and Connection Games: Variations On A Theme (Browne, 2005). Twixt is a notable game, the subject of a world tournament. AFD is not cleanup and should not be used to force significant expansion of an article. --Canley (talk) 13:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep, he's a Spiel des Jahres award winner. --Pixelface (talk) 16:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- So you're telling me that a seven sentence article that has existed for eighteen months is sufficient for the encyclopedia? I've seen articles on more notable subjects deleted for this very same thing. I still feel the article should be deleted. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 16:51, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Note this part from WP:BIO: "A person is generally notable if they meet any of the following standards."...if "The person has received significant recognized awards or honors." The Spiel des Jahres award is one of the highest a board game designer can achieve. If the article is short, it needs to be expanded, not deleted. --Pixelface (talk) 17:34, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. In response to InDeBiz1, yes, a seven-sentence article that has existed for eighteen months is sufficient--Wikipedia does not have a deadline. Chuck (talk) 18:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination, as it appears that I have misinterpreted established Wikipedia policy. My apologies for any inconveniences. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 18:31, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
