The result was redirect to Something Awful. Concensus seems to be that everything is already included in the Something Awful article, but if you disagree, feel free to pluck any info out of the history behind the redirect. Daniel.Bryant 07:42, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion in the talk page for this article shows that the author fails to meet the metrics for notability according to WP:BIO. He meets none of the requirements to included and his "award" is simply a reprint of his work into a book. His article was prodded once and contested by an anon editor.

- Merge/redirect with something awful, most of his media attention (the reprint, the appearance on tv) has come in relation to his work with the site. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 21:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment actually he's already pretty well documented on the Something Awful page. Is merging even necessary? Redirect might just work. --Quirex 21:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
