:: Comment as nominator: The reason I nominated this article wasn't because it wasn't sourced, but because it basically said nothing about the individual past "creating Zork". Thus, my suggestion to redirect to [[Zork]]. I still don't see why this person merits an article if we can't find any sources actually ''discussing'' the subject. As for co-founding Infocom, well, not all of the co-founders have their own Wiki page. What I'm trying to say is: while I commend your work to save articles from deletion, so far I don't see any addition that convinces me the article merits keeping. However, I realize that being notable for two things (both creating Zork and co-founding Infocom) likely will make some editors not want to have to decide where to redirect.
