[edit] Name

I believe this person's name is actually Clay Buchholz. I don't know how to fix the misspelled name of an article. I guess I'm too lazy to figure it out.--Xyzzyplugh 15:18, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthdate

And the birthdate listed is wrong. See the following: http://www.soxprospects.com/players/buchholz-clay.htm --Xyzzyplugh 15:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Section

As far as the criminal statement, you should know that Clay paid total restitution and is very remorseful. I would like everyone to know that Clay is a great young man. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.25.227.149 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC).

After someone posted about it today on the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard, I wondered about that, too. I moved the paragraph here because the link is broken, the search function on the host site had no results for the name, and I could find no legitimate verification of it elsewhere. 158.135.245.212 (talk • contribs), who named it "Trouble," added this section almost a year ago:

"On April 2, 2004, Buchholz was arrested for stealing 29 laptop computers from the Lumberton Independent School District's Intermediate School campus. Along with Dustin Dodge, a fellow schoolmate, had stolen the laptops from the campus and were selling them at McNeese State University where they had attended school together. Each laptop was worth an estimated 2500 dollars each after the inclusion of software programs, in all, 70,000 dollars worth of lap tops. The students were selling them for around 100-400 dollars on campus in Lousianna. Investigators say during the Christmas holidays Buchholz and Dodge climbed through a hatch on the school's roof. Officers say they went into an unlocked storage room where teachers kept the laptops and stole them. [1]"

It shouldn't be in the article, even with a {{fact}} tag, when so much time has passed since it was added without verification from a reliable source. If the facts themselves are verified, the section needs to be rewritten before being returned to the article. — Athænara ✉ 07:02, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable

He doesn't seem notable enough for a WP article, although he might be in a while. Steve Dufour 16:10, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
