Talk:Joe Wiegand

Speedy Deletion
Joe Wiegang is has performed in all 50 States as a repriser of 26th US President, Theodore Roosevelt. Of all the people who portray Roosevelt, Wiegand, alone was asked to do his performance of TR at the White House in a celebration of the 150th birthday of Theodore Roosevelt, on 27 October 2008. This article hardly qualifies as "speedy deletion" material nor is it about an insignficant person.
 * On second look, I totally agree, and I'm the one who tagged it. Just wait until a reviewing admin rolls around and they will take it down. Also, make sure you sign your talk posts. Thanks! Bped1985 (talk) 03:49, 8 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Additionally. I found out that this Wiegand guy has portrayed Roosevelt in all 50 states and is considered the finest living repriser of TR. I saw him, myself in Miami, and he really get's TR straight. I'm a trustee of the Theodore Roosevelt Assocation and have contributed to much of the article on Theodore Roosevelt as well as his extended family.  I've heard 4 out of the 5 reprisers of TR and only one, Clay Jenkinson, comes as close at Wiegand. It was no accident that he was invited to do this at the White House. He's the best there is at present. He is NOT at all "insignificant" as he's done his TR thing all over the country and for thousands of people.  He's even going down to Cuba in 2012 to do it in Santiago de Cuba and Havana.  I'll look up what else has to be done on overcoming this speedy deletion business.

 * PS - Perhaps you're not familiar with Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. He's consistentl rated as one of the top 5 US Presidents and many now think he's tied with Jefferson. I'll add comments by various US Newspapers on his appearances all over the US. SimonATL (talk) 16:30, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

More non-primary sources
While the article has primary source material, it also has external source material for information on the subject. The inclusion of primary source materials does not, of necessity, make an Wikipedia article inaccurate. Other websites back up materials from the primary web site. For example, there is a web article on Wiegand from a college attended. The inclusion of primary source material does NOT make an article, of necessity, a candidate for speedy deletion. There have been added newer citations from other web sites including a high school where Wiegand gave a performance as recently as 2012.SimonATL 18:37, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Editing section claimed to have violated copyrights
I am editing the section on Childhood. Obviously, having FAILED to have the article deleted for "non-notable" subject, editors are now taking a different approach to attacking the article on copyright issues. This too shall pass. I want the article to pass overcome any objections of politically biased or un-biased editors. SimonATL 20:08, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
