Procedural nomination. Proposed for deletion as "not notable, as suggested by someone way back in 2007 -- still not notable now in 2011" but not eligible as it had been previously prodded.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:40, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete - There are other people also selling clocks for Scrabble play, Sam has no special notability in this regard. There are many other people that have won various minor Scrabble tournaments around the world, Sam has no special notability in this regard either. And trying to combine the two (some minor wins and selling Scrabble clocks) does not make this person notable. HumphreyW (talk) 00:35, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Scrabble#Records.

  • Keep - Brand's Crossword Game King's Cup is not a minor tournament, and he won it against strong competition. He was also the pioneer for the clock used in the largest tournaments and world championships. But delete it if you want, I don't care. Sandman30s (talk) 09:28, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete. I see some curious claims here, but nothing that is A) sourced to a reliable third party or B) meets the criteria in the General Notability Guideline which this subject applies. PlusPlusDave (talk) 22:59, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
