- Neutral: Galley is "borderline" notable as a game designer and it seems this could be argued either way. A few media sources have published interviews or descriptions of his career with Infocom, but his notability is basically restricted to the interactive fiction gaming community so the WP:Generally notable people guidelines may not be met with respect to the gaming community more generally. Anyways, here are three sources I came across:
- He was interviewed as part of the GET LAMP documentary (which was released under a Creative Commons license, so I can note that the documentary's interview with Stu Galley is viewable on the Internet Archive).
- An interview published in the Commodore 64 magazine Zzap
- A description (~3 paragraphs) of Galley's career with Infocom was published in "The Imps of Infocom are still alive and kicking", Computer Game Review. April, 1996. Vol. 5, No. 9. Pages 83-88. --Mike Agricola (talk) 23:13, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
