Perhaps best to make this a redirect to [[Zork]]. If anyone wants to add enough details to justify a stand-alone biographical article that option would remain available. [[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]] ([[User talk:CapnZapp|talk]]) 12:18, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

:: 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.
