Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the 'published materials' criterion. The director correctly determined that materials published after the filing date could not be considered. Additionally, the submitted articles were primarily about the games themselves, not the beneficiary, and the petitioner failed to prove that the submitted interviews and online reviews appeared in 'major media' as required.
