Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elonka Dunin (2nd nomination)
as subject). There seems to be some possibility that this is a bad faith nomination on the part of Danny, because I disagreed with him earlier today in a Deletion review on the Musa Cooper article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2006_July_22#Musa_Cooper. As for the accusation that I'm just using my Wikipedia article as self-promotion, trust me, my Wikipedia article ain't it. ;)  When I need to get the word out, I use my http://www.elonka.com elonka.com website. To be honest, as much as I love editing Wikipedia (I think I'm at around 6,500 edits at this point http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Elonka), my own Wikipedia bio article is something that I tend to perceive as being drastically out of date, but I try to respect  and keep my fingers out of it except for very simple factual updates. As for "proving" notability, let's see:  Elonka Dunin is a published author, notable game developer (some of her work is even cited as references elsewhere on Wikipedia)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grind_%28gaming%29#References, and she's a frequently-cited consultant on the CIA's Kryptos sculpture.  Typing "Kryptos" into Google shows that her site has even higher placement than that of the CIA or Wired.http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rls=GGLB%2CGGLB%3A1969-53%2CGGLB%3Aen&q=kryptos&btnG=Search. The elonka.com website has over 2 million page views, and the name "Elonka Dunin" is cited often in the news.  Just this year alone, it's mostly related to stories about Kryptos, and a ''Da Vinci Code''-related story, (see: Smithy Code)http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/27/AR2006042701765.html. Recent media appearances that aren't mentioned in the Wikipedia bio (gee, I must have been falling down on the job in terms of using my Wikipedia bio for self-promotion): Washington Post http://www.readexpress.com/read_freeride/photos/2006-05-19-kryptos.pdf, MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann http://www.elonka.com/media/videos/list.html, NPR's All Things Considered http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5356012, Wired Newshttp://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,70701-0.html?tw=wn_story_page_prev2 (this story was also the #1-ranked headline on AOL).
