Jason Lee (Tennis Superstar) (discussion|history|protect|delete|undelete|logs|links)

Non-notable superstar, unsourced, can't find on google. Weregerbil 04:04, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

• Don't Delete. I looked this guy up on google recently, he actually does exist, and the facts seem to be true. I'm also surprised, I thought it was a hoax at first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffbriggs04 (talk • contribs)

• Don't Delete. I watched him play in Australia earlier this year, and the article is not so much 'crystal balling' what will happen, it is more just explaining that he is a great talent to watch out for. I've heard of him, I think we should keep the article.Hey babe

• Don't Delete. Perhaps if it was changed from Tennis Superstar to Tennis Player it would be ok. He is real though and the facts are all true so it should be kept. If you want proof of him and his talent come to the Australian Open and watch the juniors event.

• Delete. Nn tennis player, looks like vanity, just some guy bragging about himself...temptation to scream at vandals rising...remain...civil...blurgh... DoomsDay349 04:07, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails the "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball" criteria as evidenced by the first line, which states that he is an "Australian Tennis Player who has a future as one of Australia's superstars".--TBCΦtalk? 04:09, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Agreed, the tennis athlete mentioned is non-notable, and no Google data what-so-ever is usually a telling sign. The article also seems to lack a bit of neutrality.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 04:16, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. MER-C 05:04, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Canley 06:36, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I speedy-deleted the original, and though this version is a huge improvement the higher-quality writing somehow hasn't made the subject any more notable. Note that The World Will Not End Tomorrow, so when this person actually gets the fame the article says they are fated to get, we can have an article then. — Saxifrage ✎ 07:23, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:BIO criteria, unverifiable, WP:NOT a crystal ball. Advertising. --Terence Ong _{(C | R)} 08:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Per nom. Black-Velvet 08:32, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Try [1] instead, so that you don't just get pages with someone named "Jason" and another person named "Lee". And even then, you still get a lot of pages referring to Jason Lee, the actor from My Name Is Earl. The tennis player Jason Lee does not seem to have played in significant tournaments at the adult level yet, just juniors. He is not listed among the top 1,000 male tennis players in the world or the top 50 in Australia according to the Association of Tennis Professionals. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and the title is over-the-top POV. --Metropolitan90 08:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, there is no "tennis superstar" by this name. Vanity. Lankiveil 08:57, 11 November 2006 (UTC).
• Delete. As vanity. Spinach Dip 10:10, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete -- vanity. - Longhair\^talk 10:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Even if he exists, he's not notable per WP:BIO. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Completely non-notable. --Charlene 11:05, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:BIO. Ale_Jrb^talk 15:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Would fail WP:BIO, were he to exist. --Nehwyn 22:27, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Google News Archives comes up with some junior results see [2]

Google News comes up with no results [3] indicating that he has not yet made an impact in the professionals as yet. If he does become a professional tennis player according to the standards outlined in WP:BIO, we can create an article then. BTW, is being known as the "Australian cyclops" such a good thing as Cyclops only had one eye. Capitalistroadster 00:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Vanity. "Tennis Superstar" in the title says it all really. Teiresias84 01:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Until he hits the grade of John McEnroe or Andre Agassi, I just can't bring myself to call this guy a superstar, and he's still not notable. --Dennisthe2 07:59, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom --Michael Johnson 11:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. --Roisterer 04:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - a Factiva search brings up a single article with just a name mentioned. And it's from 2001. Doesn't really establish notability over a period of time, or meet the criteria at WP:BIO. Delete for non-notability. JROBBO 07:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete Just based on the fact that we don't need anymore sockpuppets for this article. Obviously writen by a friend or fan, suggesting he is Africa decent because he looks like someone?? It also isn't encyclopedic to state (unsourced) his favorite footy team. At the moment this guy is not notable at all rewrite in a few years or when people other than his school friend know of him.Firelement85 09:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
