Tim Spencer (video game designer)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A video game designer. Can't find any reliable references about him. I only can find his name listed as one of the many developers on some games. Bgwhite (talk) 08:33, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The entry for him at MobyGames http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,205890/ provides reliable evidence of his work as MobyGames only allows entries that are verified by evidence such as credit videos, screenshots or manuals. The LinkedIn profile for him http://www.linkedin.com/in/spence2000 also provides further evidence of his work from co-worker reccomendations.

This provides reliable references not only that he exists, but also that his works can be verified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.111.161.239 (talk) 10:12, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, The moby games link can't be used since the Video Game Wikiproject has listed that source as being completely unreliable on the grounds that the site is user submitted with no evidence of editorial oversite. It did state this the site could be used for a prilimary search for obscure games as a starting off point but it can't be used as a citation in an article. I don't know about the other link though.--76.66.188.209 (talk) 20:33, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Per WP:ELPEREN, linkedin links are never to be allowed as a reference and generally should not be in the external link section. Bgwhite (talk) 23:11, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In that case delete since with the removal of those two sites the article has no sources at all.--76.66.188.209 (talk) 01:51, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"no evidence of editorial oversite."? Moby Games requires physical evidence of all information listed on the site to be approved by qualified approvers. Without evidence, it is not accepted on the site. That's why mobygames is a reliable source of factual information verified by an independant 3rd party. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.111.164.45 (talk) 19:58, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any evidence to support this since the relevant wikiproject (WP:VG) has deemed it to not be reliable or have any editorial oversite. Not to mention there is no other citations in the article so there is no third party coverage.--76.66.188.209 (talk) 02:22, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
