[edit] Craig Pearson

Craig Pearson (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article on a British writer does not prove the notability of its subject through reference to multiple reliable published sources. In addition, I was unable to find any such sources (via a Google search) to prove notability. An online search for "Craig Pearson" PC gamer -wikipedia yields about 500 hits, but they seem to be either trivial mentions or are not independent of the subject. Although a Google search is never a decisive test of a subject's notability, the fact that this is a computer game magazine suggests that sources, if they exist, should be available online.

The article is not subject to speedy deletion as "gained a wide fanbase from his articles and reviews for the magazine" is an assertion of notability, albeit unsourced. Proposed deletion of the article was contested in November 2006. Black Falcon ^(Talk) 01:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete I disagree with you, "gained a wide fanbase" by itself, unsourced, is not an assertion of notability... Rackabello 04:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
