[edit] Matthew John

notability not asserted, vanity, source not germane, poss hoax delete per above Joan-of-arc 04:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• Why delete it, he was very notable. I only created this after I saw many, many wrestling fans approach him for an autograph and pictures this evening. If that isn't notable I do not know what is.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by EdWood (talk • contribs) .

• Then you're doing original research, which is unacceptable. See WP:NOR. (|-- UlTiMuS 04:43, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• That is in fact not true, after seeing this I spoke to people and found all these things to be true online. I have included links to support the statement in the article. Which is acceptable.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by EdWood (talk • contribs) .
• Delete, hoax or not, there is no verifiability from reliable sources that subject meets WP:BIO. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions. Notability can be determined by: Multiple features in popular culture publications such as Vogue, GQ, Elle, FHM or national newspapers A large fan base, fan listing or '"cult" following' Seems to meet it to me. --EdWood 05:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)EdWood--EdWood 05:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: So cite them in the article. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Unless notability as claimed by Ed Wood can be verified, redirect to Matthew Johns. Capitalistroadster 00:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I don't think that it's a hoax, but I do think he fails WP:BIO as non notable. Also, as had already been said, there is no verifiability. Thε Halo ^Θ 10:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

If Nobodies like Christine Dolce can have a wiki, why can't Matthew John? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.63.117.41 (talk • contribs) .

"Nobody" is a matter of opinion here. Find, and put in the article, sources to demonstrate that Mr. John has achieved similar notability. Daniel Case 01:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• I have added the actual incident which garnered him a following, listed as teh lacey incident. --EdWood 20:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• I hope you all don't mind this is my first entry since my additions to Johnny Maestro got removed and this time I am really gonna try to fight for it. Maybe it can be merged with The Ring Of Honor Wiki or the female wrestler Lacey if she has an entry. I shall check.
