Opening comment[edit]

is there anything wrong w/ 'original research' if you know the guy in person

Yes, it is still WP:OR because is not verifiable through reliable sources. Therefore, it can't be added. -- moe.RON ^{talk | done | doing} 17:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notable?[edit]

I tried to establish more notability (i.e. he earned nearly $2.4 million in one tournament - not many people can say that as well as other information). I deleted original research and added three valid sources. Others' thoughts on notability now? ~~Also, it's possible he was born in 1983, and just turns 23 later this year~~....-67.175.191.238 20:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that a final table at the WSOP Main Event should qualify someone for notable. In addition to the huge payout they get, they also always get plenty of TV coverage and interviews with various media outlets. However, there seems to be a precedent against making an article for someone just because they made the final table. About half of the guys from the 2005 and 2004 main event final tables don't have articles. AFink 00:51, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
