*'''Keep''' If you had hosted a television game show for almost two decades, been nominated for a statewide Emmy award, operated one of the main Internet forums and several leading web sites on game shows, and given Ken Jennings a real run for his money on ''Jeopardy!'', you would easily meet Wikipedia's standards for notability. Third-party sources in addition to Ottinger's TV station (which is a reliable source, anyway) have now been included to support the article's assertions. By the way, the lack of a birth date as a justification for deletion is a new one on me. I guess we better delete the article on [[Jesus Christ]], then, because historians aren't certain about his birth date. [[User:Casey Abell|Casey Abell]] 12:18, 18 September 2007 (UTC) |

**'''Comment'''. AfD's aren't usually noted for humor. But I just found this interesting [http://www.theoriginaljada.com/blog/2006/02/public-access note] – with an, er, interesting picture – that calls Matt Ottinger "highly esteemed and legendary." Well, I'd agree with the former, but I doubt that Matt would call himself "legendary" (wink). [[User:Casey Abell|Casey Abell]] 12:48, 18 September 2007 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''' NN local tv personality/webmaster. None of the websites are notable in a mainstream context, and he hosts a public-access show, which fails [[WP:BIO]]. Should also note that the two keep voters appear to be very biased on game shows, and seem to want to keep the article for their like of anything game show related, not the merits of how this does not meet notability guidelines. None of the references count as [[WP:RS]], and are just local/minor publications. [[User:Dannycali|Dannycali]] 17:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC) |
Revision as of 17:19, 18 September 2007
Matt Ottinger
AfDs for this article:
- Matt Ottinger (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Delete nn local radio game show host, previous afd ended in no consensus but his notability is still not up to WP:BIO and WP:BLP standards - so non-notable that we don't know when or where he was born red flags of notability fo modern biographies. Carlossuarez46 01:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Keep; QuizBusters is a televised game show, not a radio one. He is also notable in the game show world due to his administrator status with The Game Show Forum, his websites, and being a Jeopardy! contestant. Andy Saunders 02:34, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete; I looked for independent coverage, but found only stuff from his local school and station, which is not independent and hence not sufficient per WP:NOTE. Dicklyon 03:03, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
