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.

Regardless, the only real claim I see towards  is if "author" is carried over to the authorship of the game as a whole.
