While having an expansive writing career, article fails to establish any longevity or major impact his work have had, no awards or external new coverages, biographies, etc. Ozgod 13:57, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep, very strongly. This is the fellow who created the Forgotten Realms D&D game world, and has had more than 20 novels published by TSR concerning its characters and events. His setting is used, not only in RPGs, but also in major computer games, including Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, and Pool of Radiance; these things have been appearing for nigh unto twenty years now, and in computer gaming that's substantial breadth. Easily meets WP:BIO. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:12, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep My pet Amazon.com test shows plenty of his books available, and with reviews, therefore implying recognition of his work and notability. Pedro |  Chat  14:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, fairly prolific author and shows evidence of notability. However this article really, really needs some better sourcing to prevent good-faith misconceptions about notability. Arkyan • (talk) 14:55, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep. If the stuff listed above isn't "a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in [role-playing game writing]" I don't know what is. JulesH 15:58, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
