  • Comment. Is this character in Dragon Quest? In Dragonlance? In Dragonbollocks? Which dungeon is he in? Is he a pokemon? Does he run on Playstation? Is he big in Something Awful forums? Are untold thousands of kids and retards fascinated by him? Well, there you are then: zero notability by conventional WP standards. This chap seems moderately notable to me, IFF the claims made for him are verifiable. But are they verifiable? -- Hoary 07:25, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, seems notable enough. I've expanded and added some sources to the article. Lankiveil 10:57, 15 April 2007 (UTC).
  • Keep, though it's a bit thin. -- Hoary 13:02, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep It needs to be copyedited so it reads better, but the dude's got one of them thar historical marker thingies with his name on it. I've never heard of him, but I believe the article meets its burden of proof. In fact, I think WP:N should be expanded to include "People with their names on civic, state, or federal historical markers". I think that's a gimme. :) Wysdom 15:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
