Dan Gelber (game designer): Lacks SIGCOV and no verifiability whatsoever.  If he has created a notable game, he should have appeared on reviews ad multiple news source.  All the Best!

Otuọcha ( talk ) 13:57, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Subject does not pass notability requirements- the only sources I'm seeing online mention his name in passing, as a game creator, but are not written about him.  Editing84 ( talk ) 14:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This is unfortunate, as Gelber's fame predates the Internet.  I found Lawsuit info where he is named once only, ditto in this article by Allen Varney .  I suspect sources which cover this individual to be substantially offline.  Jclemens ( talk ) 16:09, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Then provide them.  There is barely offline sources for a notable American whose work dates in 1980's till date.  If we're talking about Africa or otherwise, it will be a total case of WP:System bias .  Not much work or sources for his works, and the ones listed in the article is lacking verifiable sources to show he was the real creator as wikipedia's policy mandates.  All the Best!  Otuọcha ( talk ) 21:28, 26 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] If I had them, I would.  I think there are people who have complete collections of The Space Gamer ; I am not one of them.  Jclemens ( talk ) 04:18, 27 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge and redirect to Paranoia as the designer's apparently most relevant contribution.  About the nomination, the opposite of no verifiability whatsoever seems to be the case here, as everything in the article referenced and therefore verified!  Likewise, Dan Gelber does appear in reviews in multiple sources.  So far I did not see more than his contributions acknowledged there, so nothing beyond what we have here, which so far is still a stub, so I understand the concern about SIGCOV.  On the other hand, not all the sourced information the authors of our article here collected is present at Paranoia , so this should be preserved in a merge rather than deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's policies .  In such a case it is somewhat unfortunate to link to one of two major contributions, but well...  If anyone has can find more sources, I'd be happy to hear about it.  Daranios ( talk ) 12:28, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] There is nothing to merge here.  The reason for redirecting is because it has been confirmed by one verifiable source of creating a "video game" with colleagues.  It's the best option to "just" redirect.  Safari Scribe Edits!  Talk!  07:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ SafariScribe : I disagree.  The first three sentences of the Dan Gelber (game designer)#Career section are referenced to a secondary source - I would say the secondary source for the topic of designing role-playing games - and they elucidate what the respective roles of Dan Gelber and the other designers were for the creation of Paranoia .  That information is not yet present at the target, and fits there in either the Publication history or an Origins section.  ("video game" is nowhere mentioned in the article, I assume you meant "role-playing game"?)  Daranios ( talk ) 10:08, 9 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ SafariScribe : In case you are concerned that those sentences are verified by only one source (I am not quite sure what you meant there), this is also substantiated by Space Gamer #72 , pp. 13-15.  Daranios ( talk ) 15:02, 9 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Since we meant the same redirecting.  No problem!  Safari Scribe Edits!

Talk!  23:34, 2 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge and redirect to Paranoia (role-playing game) : This is the best work he has done per article and in other to help backlog, WP:ATD be applicable and redirecting is the best option.  Like the discussion above, I have proposed PRESERVE which can be said as merge "important ones"—probably the sourced parts or one listed above!  Safari Scribe Edits!

Thanks, Shadow311 ( talk ) 14:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge Seems fine to merge the career section with Paranoia (role-playing game) , less the last sentence.  Checked the ref of last sentence and added it to designers on Marvel_Universe_Roleplaying_Game .  Rolmops23 ( talk ) 15:22, 19 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge or Keep The Space Gamer #72, pp. 13-15.  source meets notability per WP:N , being reliable and in period.  If it was added to the page, there is grounds to cancel the request for deletion.  Merge also OK if consensus prefers.
