I realize primary sources are discouraged on Wikipedia, and I don't want to get into a philosophical battle about it; other than editing the name to conform to trademark standards (even though it's not exactly a trademark but rather "Product Identity" as described by the OGL), I'm not interested in getting into this article. I will point out a historical error... as far as I know, based on my discussions with Stuart Marshall, OSRIC was secretly in development about the same time as the announcement of BFRPG was made. Neither of us is sure which of us started first. I have compiled what information I can locate or remember on the history of these games here: ^[1] SolomoriahBFRPG (talk) 14:20, 22 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Notability and reliability or sources in question

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

out of 16 references, this article has 10 from primary sources, and someone decided to remove the tag? the articles products own website, and the website Chris Gonnerman runs, for Steve, under the pseudonym Solomoriah, are all places HE himself controls, and should not give notabitlity since it is possible he himself as above created or had one of his people create the article. To prevent an edit war from someone just calling it "noteable" when there is mostly primary sources, now we will have to have the discussion, and question the creation of the article since Chris himself already posted on this talk page, and the "creator" of the article has VERY few contributions to WP since they began in 2014. If every fantasy heartbreaker is given its own article, then WP would need a server farm the size of Facebook to hold all the articles, when this "game" probably could be left on the "retro clones" article, until it actually does something of note other than existing, like the 3000 other game clones, that are nothing more than variant of each other. shadzar-talk 18:38, 20 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
