First of all, even Saddam Hussein was allowed to defend himself at his own trial and he murdered thousands. I don't get that privilege. Second, the standard for 'notability' demanded in this trial is unreasonable. This requires that I have numerous academic citings. This is simply inappropriate for popular puzzle making. Do a Google search. It is easy to corroborate the claim that I have a best selling amazon puzzle book [10]. It is easy to corroborate the claim that I have written for a UK national newspaper for many years [11] with over 4,000 references on Google. In addition, the claim that I write for Prospect magazine is instantly verifiable on their website! [12] If to show that someone is well known (notable) they have to have numerous academic citings most of the biographical articles on Wikipedia would have to go. I think this is an unjust destruction of an article. P.S. If no one listened to you, you too would invent sockpuppets. I don't ask you to sympathize but the notability of the subject logically has no connection to past behavior on Wikipedia. BRC
