Prod removed by IP address, non-notable poker player. Many poker players have proteges however being simply a protege is not a sign of notability and if that is ignored accomplishments aren't enough to satisfy notability. –– Lid(Talk) 00:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete does not meet notability by a mile. Hasn't won a major tournament nor made it to the Hall of Fame.  Balloonman (talk) 16:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as this article refers to a non-notable poker player. According to the Hendon Mob database he came second in a WSOP circuit game?! So what?! As per nom being a protege of Daniel Negreanu doesn't infer notability   Nk.sheridan     Talk  00:45, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NN, WP:BIO.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 00:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, placing 2nd in a circuit event doesn't make one notable. Merely being Negreanu's protege doesn't confer notability either. -- Kinu t /c  01:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep There appear to be articles purely about him, including on ESPN. Thus meets WP:N as there are multiple independent secondary sources... http://news.google.com/archivesearch?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS251US252&um=1&tab=wn&q=%22Brian+Fidler 68.40.58.255 (talk) 02:29, 27 May  2008 (UTC)
 * I see all of two actual articles that mention him. The rest are either a) PR Newswire press releases or b) about other Brian Fidlers. -- Kinu t /c  02:33, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I found three. One is an ESPN article about him.  Meets WP:N.  68.40.58.255 (talk) 02:49, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - I still don't think that this poker player is notable, despite having an ESPN article. It must have "significant coverage" - this person does not. Additionally, the article provides no evidence that he has won any significant award. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 03:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. A few articles about his involvement in one (i.e. WP:BLP1E) poker tournament doesn't staisfy the "significant" requirement of WP:BIO. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 03:30, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I'd have to say that this person is only notable for one event, and as such, fails human notability guidelines. Atyndall93  |  talk  04:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
