Instagrams Biggest Playboy
Dan has been in the news a lot this week and he is being referred to as Instagrams Biggest Playboy. Should there be a reference to this, as this is how he is gaining the interest of the general public? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2613072/Video-shows-Instagrams-biggest-playboy-throwing-porn-star-roof-breaking-foot.html 31jetjet (talk) 00:29, 28 April 2014 (UTC) 31jetjet
- I'm not sure this kind of negatively slanted information is appropriate for a BLP. I'd be open to changing my mind depending on the language you'd like to add though. Jeremy112233 02:35, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why somebody who seems to be nothing more than a former soldier without success, a gambler and investor in whatever without visible contribution to human society should be in a wiki at all. Oh, I forgot: He's an American. O.k., that's something else. 84.151.153.230 (talk) 19:19, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has quite a few documents that describe how an individual is determined as notable. They should explain any misgivings you may have. One can always challenge a page based on those policies as well if you feel the page is undeserved. Jeremy112233 16:34, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

He states that he was kicked-out
Kicked out does not require a hyphen.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 13:26, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
Who he is and what he is known for
Dan Bilzerian deserves a Wikipedia page due to several things: - his large internet / social media following, specifically on instragram / facebook / twitter - where he is one of the most followed celebrities in America - perhaps, his success in a few poker tournaments
The majority of his wealth is from his father. He has made some money playing poker, but the most of it is from his father.
So there should be more focus on his internet following and what causes that. He lives a lavish lifestyle, posing pictures of near naked women, guns, boats, private jets, and partying constantly.
He has not invested in a significant number of companies - or raised money from other to invest in companies. Furthermore, he has not invested in any notably successful companies. As a result, the "venture capitalist" tag is inappropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.82.81.252 (talk) 17:23, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
When you look up his poker winnings it is obvious that over 90 percent of his fortune comes from his father. There is no mention of this in the article. He might like to call himself a venture capitalist but Wikipedia is supposed to be factual.
