[edit] Chad Juros

Being a child who almost died from leukemia is (unfortunately) not notable, nor is being a magician notable. The intersection of these two life experiences is mildly interesting but not worth an article. Google gives about 600 hits for his name. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 02:30, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete While inspirational (well maybe not inspirational, but it is unfortunate), and sad, this is not appropriate for Wikipedia. Thanks, Codelyoko193 (T/C) 02:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I'm afraid I don't see it as inspirational, simply unfortunate. Also unfortunate is the numbers of people both in the US and worldwide that have similar and even much worse life stories. However, unfortunate lifestories do not a Wikipedia article make (if it did, I'd rate pretty high for the sheer monotany factor). --LeyteWolfer 03:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. An unfortunate case, but notability not established. Qworty 09:06, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - an article to treat with some sensitivity, but notability is not made out or even asserted to the level required for a Wikipedia article. Tragically, childhood cancer is common enough not to be notable. The magician role shows talent but he is not asserted to be a leader in the profession. Meeting the President is not notable in its own right - it is not sufficient claim to notability simply to have associated with a notable person. Altogether, the article fails WP:BIO - he does not have widespread name recognition, has not yet made an enduring contribution to his chosen field, and while numerous sources can no doubt be found I suspect they will report the person in the context of a heroic event (that is, putting a brave face on leukemia) rather than in their own right. I can see potential for this to be proved wrong via better sourcing and/or a credible assertion regarding a lasting contribution either to the representation of leukemia sufferers or magic but so far its not there.

• Comment - I note that the website address is a dead link. An article on the Spread the Magic Foundation might meet notability guidelines and would be an appropriate place for the relevant details in this article. Euryalus 10:23, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, Only reference is dead, apparently NN. Sad, but still delete. --θnce θn this island ^Speak! 17:17, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
