Random commentary

not notable, should be deleted.

• First, please sign your posts. Second, give reasoning for your claims. He more than meets WP:BIO. It's not even questionable whether or not he has enough reliable sources, and he's clearly notable. J0lt C0la 16:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

This guy is completely not notable, who knows who he is, and who will know who he is in 5 years? He doesn't meet WP:BIO There aren't even any sources on it! This is prob a self-made page. 68.33.93.143 (talk) 00:00, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree. He is not notable. This page should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.224.117.236 (talk) 19:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Notable does not mean "the average person knows who X is," otherwise we'd be a pop-culture encyclopedia with little to no scientists and non-popular politicians. There are plenty of sources. He's appeared as a leader in his field (youth rights) on CNN, Fox News, and many other media outlets. There was an entire large article written about him in The Washington Post, for crying out loud! Seriously, understand ALL the points of WP:BIO before you call someone non-notable, and try registering if you want to criticize look like you're doing anything other than making an offhand comment not based on knowledge of the basic concepts of Wikipedia. Not to attack you personally, but IP edits making claims with no evidence are often dismissed by many people under the aforementioned assumption. J0lt C0la (talk) 23:04, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Edit: 4.224.117.236's only other edit is an unjustified (and highly ungrammatical) attack on NYRA, the organization Alex leads. J0lt C0la (talk) 23:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:AlexKoroknay-Palicz.jpg

Image:AlexKoroknay-Palicz.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Alex Koroknay-Palicz/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

This is a vanity page written by someone who runs a small organization To whomever wrote the above (and anyone else who might like to know): This is definitely not a vanity page, especially by the Wikipedia definition of vanity. He's been on/in "CNN, Fox News, PBS, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Christian Science Monitor" among other media sources, all considered reliable sources by Wikipedia standards. He's the most visible leader in the youth rights movement. Nearly every time a major media source does a youth rights related story, he's quoted for the pro-YR side of the story. Vanity does not equal anyone you've never personally heard of, or more likely, people whose goals you don't agree with. J0lt C0la 23:55, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
