Notability?

Is it just me or is this article scraping the barrel of notability either for Tommy's poker or music career? Hazir (talk) 01:12, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think so, no. The absence of WSOP results or other notable tournament vistories do not accurately reflect the prominence of Tommy within the poker community. His book is widely regarded by many top players as one of the very best pieces of poker literature around. The fact that Tommy does things other than play poker, such as his musicianship, are included as the information is well-reported in (somewhat reliable) secondary sources; I'm currently trying to access old newspaper clippings and magazine articles from his touring career. It significantly adds to a biographical article to report all aspects of a person's history, even though in this case most people will know Tommy as a poker player rather than a musician.
