Arbitrary Section[edit]

I have deleted the infringement and agree to complete my own article. Sorry —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antoine Cason (talk • contribs) 04:34, 30 December 2008

Notability and reliable sources[edit]

Not sure of notability, but there are many

Google News Hits from which to source the article and the third party sourcing looks non trivial. Dloh cierekim 16:07, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:athlete[edit]

Though not a professional, subject does seem to have a lot of Google News hits. These may represent nontrivial, significant media coverage sufficient for meeting WP:BIO, and should be weighed before deleting. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 14:33, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Google News hits don't define notability. There are countless news articles about sports teams that identify members of the teams, even if they don't play in the game. That's just the way sports are reported. To define notability in sports, one needs several significant events, not just that a player played the sport. There are several discussions about WP:ATHLETE and sports notability at Wikipedia talk:Notability (athletes). Feel free to participate. Thanks. Truthanado (talk) 15:33, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not. However, the Google News hits should be looked at to see if there is sufficient non trivial coverage from reliable sources to establish notability. Cheers, and happy editing. Dloh cierekim 15:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent information[edit]

The text says he attended Cheyenne High School in North Las Vegas, Nevada; while the infobox says Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia. Does anyone know which (if any) is correct? Thanks. Truthanado (talk) 01:34, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked the single reference and it too has the same inconsistency. Something is wrong somewhere. Truthanado (talk) 01:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many collegiate athletes go to a traditional high school and then a place like Hargrave if they don't qualify academically, or need another year to mature for the rigors of big time college athletics. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 14:22, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.
