The fact that this article was nominated for deletion and was actually kept is honestly making me rethink my yearly donation to Wikipedia. This is just about the clearest example I can imagine of a self-promoting article that fails the notability test. There is not a single article or source from any reputable news agency in here which is in any way about him - in all the non-blog sources, he is simply providing a random quote to a news article, along with several other people who do not (and should not) appear on Wikipedia. It explicitly has a link to his site in the references, as well as no less than three separate links to self-written bios. As a long-time employee in the game industry, I can certainly say that the first time Mr. Mencher's name ever came to my attention was when I received a LinkedIn email trying to recruit me - which was also when I became aware of Wikipedia's article. Is this seriously what we allow these days on Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.61.70.127 (talk) 00:25, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
