[edit] Joe Shansi

Joe Shansi (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

A compete hoax, that should had been speedy deleted, I tried to db it but it was declined, thehendonmob.com a comprehensive poker database of live tournament results yields no results for Joe Shansi [1]or any Shansi [2] this never happen with a 2 million dollar poker winner, this true on all other poker databases cardplayer pokerlisting etc.

Joe Shansi is not on the all time money list http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/ranking/1 anywhere

It says he is "greatest No Limit Hold 'Em player." this is false, I been following poker for years and he never has appeared or been written about by any poker source or authority . google list 15 result for "Joe Shansi" poker [3]

The article says "He placed 238th place at the 2007 World Series of Poker (WSOP) when he was eliminated by Jerry Yang (poker player), the 2007 World Series of Poker champion" Also untrue he does not appear anywhere. 238th place was a poker player named Matt Sterling

I'm not assuming bad faith, this article is pure fiction. ▪◦▪≡SiREX≡Talk 04:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete G3 as pure Numberwang Hoaxalicious™, so tagged. No idea why previous speedy tag was declined -- this clearly falls under blatant misinformation as the nom clearly highlights. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 04:21, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
