As I indicate in the lengthy discussion with the  author on the talk page of the article, there is little to no sourcing for this article. As indicated there, I find it odd that someone who is touted in the article to be a pioneer of sports journalism on the Internet has little to no  information about him on said Internet or in any other sources. To be fair, I don't think it's a hoax, but I feel like it's an attempt to build an article out of things that ultimately aren't sourceable and thus do not meet . The one cited source is the Mulligan book, but (a) one paragraph in one source (see the image provided by the subject above) does not meet the "multiple" and "non-trivial" aspects of , and considering this is a , that's not enough for an article, and (b) also importantly, in a TL;DR comment on said talk page, the subject of the article states "besides myself, the book also spoke with"... which seems to indicate the included information about the subject in the book is based on information from the subject himself rather than other sourceable information. I'm not questioning the book authors' reliability, but without any other actual source to corroborate the information in and to expand on the one paragraph, the "multiple" aspect of  is nowhere near met, and there simply isn't enough here to write an actual encyclopedic article. Ultimately what's left is a resume in prose
