Mark Rosenfelder

This individual is not a fictional Pokémon character. Nor is he from any one of the make-believe universes of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, or Stargate SG-1. Is he "notable enough" for inclusion on Wikipedia? Why, or why not? Please discuss. --GRider\^talk 23:49, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Comment: GRider, within 24 hours you will be banned from editing deletion related pages [1]. I strongly urge you to reconsider your practice of making socratic nominations if you want to validly participate in the VfD process. calS !pu kaeps 01:19, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment Rosenfelder has been interviewed by Le Monde, among others, and his Language Construction Kit has been referenced in numerous printed sources. The related article, Zompist.com appeared on VfD last May [2], where the consensus was to keep. I've participated on various forums related to his website. Abstain from voting for the present. calS !pu kaeps 01:19, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment: This is clearly a nomination made in bad faith, as if that was a surprise anymore. -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:35, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep, without regard to the controversy over GRider's nominating pattern. Conlangers usually strike me as hobbyists whose efforts are no more significant than my own hobbies such as play-by-mail strategy games, but the article indicates this person is among the most influential in his field. I'm trying not to make fun of that field by writing "And I invented Pokeyish, Trekkoid, Middle-earthian, GRidernominese, and Conlangiana, so put me in the encyclopedia!" Barno 14:45, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I don't think that this nomination is correctly formed, so I won't vote. Hedley 18:29, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
