  • Goodyear, Dana (25 January 2010). "Kid Goth". The New Yorker. Retrieved 19 January 2010.
    Profile of Neil Gaiman notes that his Wikipedia page does not mention his family's associations with Scientology:
    "The pivotal fact of Gaiman’s childhood is one that appears nowhere in his fiction and is periodically removed from his Wikipedia page by the site’s editors. When he was five, his family moved to East Grinstead, the center of English Scientology, where his parents began taking Dianetics classes. His father, a real-estate developer, and his mother, a pharmacist, founded a vitamin shop, G & G Foods, which is still operational. (According to its Web site, it supplies the Human Detoxification Programme, a course of vitamins, supplements, and other alleged purification techniques, which Scientology offers at disaster sites like Chernobyl and Ground Zero.) In the seventies, his father, who died last year, began working in Scientology’s public-relations wing and over time rose high in the organization. Gaiman has two younger sisters, both still active in Scientology; one of them works for the church in Los Angeles, and the other helps run the family businesses."

    Article lists the top ten video game franchises sorted according to the reviewer. The sales amounts given for each of the franchises are equal to the ones linked in our article. While not credited, it is accepted that matching our numbers perfectly for ten random games indicates usage.
