Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Ottinger
I worked on the article to emphasize Matt's notability under the "widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field" criterion of io. In the field of U.S. game shows Matt ''is'' widely recognized for his work in creating a leading Internet forum and web sites on important game shows and personalities, especially Bill Cullen. The information about his appearance on ''Jeopardy!'' also qualifies him under the "renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events" criterion because he was one of the few contestants who gave Ken Jennings a real run for his money during Jennings' widely publicized string of victories. His additional celebrity as a Michigan television host strengthens the case for notability. I agree the article needs fleshing out with biographical detail, but it's a definite keep under the notability guidelines
