Talk:John DeStefano Jr.

Question
I have to admit that it is a bit strange to do a Google search on my own name and have this article come up as the first hit. It certainly matches my given name, yet refers to another person who happens to be more prominent in the public scope due to his political achievements. Then again, three of the top eight Google hits for 'John DeStefano' return pages that refer to me. Does that make me irrelevant? ;)

So I guess my question is: why does one person get a WikiPedia page, and another doesn't, when they share the same name? Should I create my own page? or overwrite this one with my own autobiography? A spooky Internet conundrum indeed.

 * The short answer is: this John DeStefano, Jr., has a Wikipedia article about him because he is "notable". (See Notability.)  If you are notable, someone can create a Wikipedia article about you.   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 03:21, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
