- I would just speedy tag it as G3, it's a blatant hoax and there is no need go through AfD to zap it. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 18:58, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

our newest official member, J04n, has nuked it for us. :-)--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 19:17, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

132 - L Done. Mario Alberto Leon is marked PROD, since I can't find anything.
121 - D done except for a punk rocker now at AfD. Maybe shouldda PROD'd, but I've got an itchy feeling about it, so AfD it is. --j⚛e decker ^talk 03:36, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Only 38 when the Prods, AfDs etc are discounted. --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 18:01, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Awesome. I'd bee circling around that furniture designer for a bit but was unable to find independent sourcing. I forget the name. Where did you find the sourcing?
  Here's the article: Kari Asikainen The source is pretty weak, but "Contract" (found via Google Books) appeared to me be a design magazine, and I was able to tease a couple quotes (one which I provided in the ref) that at least let me believe the guy exists and is a known designer by Google Books queries--often only being able to read the text in the queries as the snippet views often miss the relevant info. Were it not for the award claim (something I'd like to follow up on more, btw), I might've deletionward, but ... gah. --j⚛e decker ^talk 18:43, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
29 - S is down, with a book reference ... there's a *book* about top-notch professional computer gamers? I'm getting old. :) --j⚛e decker ^talk 02:50, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
C, K, N, and R are finished. —J04n(talk page) 02:56, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

T is done, only W left —J04n(talk page) 03:19, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

0 - Next up! --j⚛e decker ^talk 04:09, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
