Delete - Appears to be self-written biography of living person. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:41, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- Keep. The article does need work to bring it up to scratch (I've started revising and only got to 2001 so far), but I think that John Ingold is notable as an author of interactive fiction. Many of his works have been nominated for XYZZY Awards, which are the most important awards in the field, and several have won or ranked highly in the Interactive Fiction Competition. He's discussed as an important contemporary author in Nick Montfort's book Twisty Little Passages, the most extensive academic study of IF, and his All Roads is one of three works treated in detail in Alf Seegert's article at doi:10.1386/jgvw.1.1.23_1. I've also found reviews at websites like Jay Is Games[1], Just Adventure[2] and GameSetWatch,[3] even if we ignore IF-specific websites like SPAG. EALacey (talk) 22:19, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- Comment. This AFD page wasn't listed at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log when created, so I've added it to today's log. I'm also adding the usual header to this page. EALacey (talk) 22:30, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
