Talk:Lane Sutton

Cleanup needed
I did some very minor cleanup but this needs to be greatly reduced in scope. Leave in enough so that notability is clear and what this person is well-known for or what he is uniquely known for.

Frankly, if this person had done exactly the same things he did in the same years he did them but he was born 10 years earlier, he would be utterly non-notable. That is to say, he would've received a lot less media attention than he did and he would therefore fail Notability. It is precisely because he is so young that his doing ordinary "20-something" things gets noted, allowing him to qualify for an article. That does not mean that all of those things are encyclopedic. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  00:54, 31 October 2013 (UTC)


 * We could speculate all we like about why he's been noticed, but he certainly was noticed by the media. Admittedly the news coverage seemed to stop in 2011 so maybe it will turn out to be less consequential as the years pass! However, I moved the article from AfC because he seems to meet general notability criteria. I agree that the later events are poorly sourced - KidCriticUSA.com, TEDx, SXSW, Keystone - so may need pruning and/or rewording. Sionk (talk) 01:41, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, he probably does meet WP:GNG, and my lack of certainty that he fails it (I haven't read enough of the references yet to say that he has or hasn't) is why I haven't PRODded or AFD'd this page. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  19:36, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
