Deletion of Mark Steere

Comment: can you source the statement "published author, who has received multiple independent reviews of or awards for my work..."?  You make a stronger case if you provide evidence.  Also, what exactly in the article constitutes "a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field..."?  The awards from  Mensa and Parent's Choice?  Beyond that, calling editors who have rendered opinions you disagree with "four enthusiastic members of the Wikipedia police club" is rather un- and personally speaking it doesn't really make me want to go out of my way to reconsider my opinion.  I'm sure you know the old saying about honey and vinegar

Comment: unless the claims are sourced ''in the article''.  I now believe he's notable, but there's no erifiable assertion of notability ''in the article''. &mdash

Comment: first off,  &  are guidelines, not rules.  I can only speak for myself, but authoring rules sheets doesn't really meet my definition of "published author", though you are free to disagree.  The other guideline you referenced from  "a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field..." is very open to interpretation.  I'm not trying to be personally offensive to you, but I don't see anything that meets that definition.  None of your games have been around long enough to have achieved the status of "enduring historical record" in my opinion.  Concerning ... I've struck that above because the guideline I meant to reference was , citing  was a mistake on my part.  Regardless, the only real claim I see towards  is if "author" is carried over to the authorship of the game as a whole.  I can't think of any similar case off the top of my head, then again I've never seen a board game creator article here before.  I'm still mulling over if that meets the author definition
