An unnotable poker player. If WP:ATHLETE applies to poker players, he fails it because he has only ever played in the Amateur Poker League. His two claims to notablity outside the APL are "a 2nd place finish at the Bel Eyre, and a 5th place finish at the WCC Regional Finals", but both of those competitions appear to be unnotable to the point where I am not even able to determine what competitions they are.

Finally, there are no in depth reliable sources on this guy. - Icewedge (talk) 04:19, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete The article is not cited. Even if facts are taken at face value, it does not establish notability. lk (talk) 06:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - There is an essay on poker player notability at WP:POKER, which provides a good starting point. This guy meets none of those criteria. An MSN search reveals no obvious indication of general notability, though to be fair I'm not familiar with poker sites.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 20:53, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Not a serious attempt at a Wikipedia article.  Fails to demonstrate notability in accordance with WP:BIO.  This article was created by Bzboards (talk • contribs)  and was the first contribution by this new User.  In this situation there is always the risk of an undisclosed conflict of interest.

 * Delete: Non-notable. The article is bereft of content, as well as references.-- Lester  20:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
