Not Notable Person Patchy1Talk To Me! 05:38, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep at least two claims to notability are made, which are also confirmed by reliable references. The notability standard is achieved by the number of independent references also. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:28, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Using science to win game shows is quite extraordinary and would make the person notable for me. Unfortunately, this claim I fear is totally unverifiable. That he indeed made this claim is well referenced but, well, a bit weak for an encyclopedia. --Pgallert (talk) 08:16, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• No Opinion I'm Ogi Ogas. I've always tried to avoid editing my own page, since I find it somewhat distasteful and self-serving when others do so (though I confess I added a Dr. to my name when I received my PhD from Boston University). I'm quite content to leave a determination of my notability to others, I merely wanted to point out that my Millionaire appearance is frequently referenced as an all-time favorite by fans of the show (for example, in today's Buzzerblog discussion). Also, my battle with Ken Jennings on Grand Slam was voted the "Best Game Show Moment" in the 2008 Game Show News Net Awards.
