Talk:Market Wizards

Expansion request
This article is starting to lean a bit much towards an "advertisement" piece. It would probably benefit from some more third-party information about it. Can we please link to some reviews, give sales figures, include criticism, and other "non-promotional" elements? --Elonka 18:32, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree. This is a rather odd format for an article on a book. This is certainly a notable and oft-quoted book, but I have never seen an outline format before. It seems unencyclopedia. I cut back on it and summarized.--Mantanmoreland 23:00, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Much better, thank you. :)   Would you also be willing to look at the article on Ed Seykota?  I'd like another opinion there as well. --Elonka 00:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I shall. --Mantanmoreland 03:32, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

A Wonderful Book, I Sincerely Believe, but I Wonder Whether We Regard It As "Notable" per WP:BK

 * Today I've read the first two of Jack Schwager's Wizards works.
 * I hold them both in high regard.
 * Yet neither of the two appears to have attracted
 * substantial critical coverage by secondary sources
 * beyond many deservedly enthusiastic reviews.
 * Am I wrong in my interpretation of "notability" criteria at Wikipedia
 * when I imagine that a book really ought to have had substantial impact,
 * as indicated, at the very least, by extensive, thoughtful critical evaluation,
 * as a condition for encyclopedic entry?
