Notability of Jay Samonie

Hello, ProsperousOne. I wanted to alert you that it is unclear whether the article you created, Jay Samonie, satisfies Wikipedia's notability guideline (a Google search reveals only 95 hits). It appears you are working to expand the article, however, you should pay particular attention to establishing its notability. The best way to address this concern is to reference published, third-party sources about the subject. If notability cannot be established, the article is more likely to be considered for redirection, merge or ultimately deletion, per Wikipedia:Guide to deletion. Regards, Accurizer (talk) 23:01, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi ProsperousOne, thanks for your question. I think that notability is still borderline. The linked magazine article is a start but there should be more references. WP:BIO states, "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability." Can you provide sources in academic journals to supplement the magazine article? Are there any sources that would provide a different point of view on the subject? For example, the article implies that the church has not endorsed his experiences; are there any church documents addressing this? If you have exhausted the reference materials available to you, consider seeking help at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity or Wikipedia:WikiProject Catholicism. I hope this is helpful. Regards, Accurizer (talk) 23:03, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

The books help, especially if they are from a notable publisher. Every new piece of information from a reliable source will help. No, as you suspected, blogs are not considered a reliable source. :-) Accurizer (talk) 00:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:FatherJayMovieTrailer.PNG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:FatherJayMovieTrailer.PNG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? (ESkog)^(Talk) 17:43, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Your license tagging and all that was fine. The only problem with the image is that, since it depicts a living person, our non-free content policy states that it should not be used where a free image could be used in its place. If you think you can get permission from the copyright holder, that's great - have them send an e-mail to permissions-en@wikimedia.org with the license they wish to release the image under, and we can get that going. (ESkog)^(Talk) 18:09, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Here is a page listing all our free licensing options. The most common are either the GFDL, a Creative Commons license, or simply a release of the image to the public domain. Thanks! (ESkog)^(Talk) 18:42, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of CIDS

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Jason Ho

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.

I noticed that your user subpage at User:ProsperousOne/Jason Ho may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline . If you believe that your userpage does not violate our guidelines, please leave a note here and we can discuss it. As an alternative, you may add {{Db-userreq}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's userpage guidelines. Thank you. Mr. Ho has recently been a topic of much discussion in the Stox poker and 2+2 communities,[1] and the existence of this page meshing the biographies of Ho and Phil Gordon (prior to my recent reversion)[2] seems to be bringing the project into disrepute.[3] -- Kendrick7^talk 23:51, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Kendrick7, Thanks for the note. I had actually forgot I created this. Mr. Ho requested back in June of 2009 that I create this page when I was one of his (soon to be unfortunate) students. I obviously used Phil Gordon's page as a template. I explained to Mr. Ho that in order for this page to meet Wiki standards, I would need to post indepndent refererences, and that I couldn't just use his claims of "Over $1,000,000 USD in online poker winnings" as validation. Figure the odds... he never provided any...

I've added the speedy delete per your request. Thanks again for the reminder.

Proposed deletion of Jay Samonie

The article Jay Samonie has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

And individual that appears to fail the WP:GNG. The only sources, outside of his defunct personal site, was a write-up in a local Detroit publication, and his obituary. Searching for more sources only turns up additional death notices, as well as some very brief mentions in additional Detroit-area publications.
