Talk:James D. Rolfe

Redirect?!
Why the HELL is this a redirect to Angry Video Game Nerd? First off, he's a real person, AVGN was something he CREATED. Since when should a REAL PERSON be redirected to an article on something they CREATED? And it's not like AVGN is the ONLY thing he does. His site, Cinemassacre, is overflowing with all sorts of content, most of which isn't even nerd-related. It shows that he has been making videos for nearly 20 years, with the Angry Video Game Nerd originating in 2004. Also, Cinemassacre redirects to this article as well, which is just wrong. The site was created well before he started doing AVGN content. This is like redirecting Nintendo to the Mario Series. Please give me an explaination on why this has happened and help me fix it.76.167.244.204 (talk) 03:07, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * A subject's notability on Wikipedia is not defined by its actual popularity, but rather the amount of significant coverage it has received from recognized third party sources (WP:N). Articles are expected to have a reasonable amount of information, that is substantial (non-trivial) and verifiable (WP:V). This information must include information from third-party sources; not just from a self-published source.
 * Last summer, there was a discussion to create a separate article for Rolfe. The proposition never went through, on the grounds that Rolfe did not have enough third-party sources that solely covered him - not just his AVGN persona. When Rolfe or Cinemassacre obtains enough coverage from respectable third part sources, which can produce more substantial information, they can have their own article. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  21:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
