[edit] Jonah Falcon

Jonah Falcon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable person known for his "big penis" who achieved some level of exposure because of pranks to him from the Howard Stern Show. There was a profile of him in Rolling Stone but that seems the only secondary coverage he has received. He had numerous bit non-speaking parts in various American and British TV shows and was interviewed briefly in a HBO documentary, but these don't seem to satisfy WP:BIO.

Considering, on my behalf, I'm currently writing a screenplay for production and am going to be featured in Details magazine, and about 100 (well, dozens, anyway) magazine articles and TV shows I've already appeared in, you'll end up writing my entry all over again. (rolling eyes) I know it's uncool for the subject to speak up, but I may as well. The fact I'm writing and going to appear in my own major motion feature is probably enough.

• Keep. See the External links section. In addition to the Rolling Stone piece, he has been the subject of an article in the Village Voice and intervied by blogger Byron Crawford. So he has clearly been covered by some other secondary sources. A quick googling reveals 63,000 hits, one of the first of which is The Sun [1]. I don't know if tabloid columns count towards independent coverage, but I would be surprised if there were no other coverage among the 62,999 other google hits.

I said no other secondary source coverage, which blogs do no count as (for the record, the first Ghit I get is for the Wikipedia article). However, the subject has provided coverage below so I am withdrawing. Redfarmer (talk) 16:32, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I've also appeared in FHM, OUT, Max (the German version of Maxim), and TV shows such as Nicole (the German teen version of Oprah - don't ask), Yanky Panky, Sky News, ProSeiben etc, and a ton of other stuff not listed here. Been on over 200 radio shows, too - if there's a major radio DJ, I've been on it (from Howard Stern to Opie & Anthony to Ginger Lynn, even did a show with Jack Nicholson and Gene Simmons[2] - all not on here. If I were allowed to edit my own Wiki (which I seldom do), you'd see a ton more sourced info. Maybe I should start posting it. JAF1970 (talk) 16:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

My apologies. I did try to find information before I nominated but had a hard time. I'll withdraw for now. If you want to send your sources I will help revise the article to get it up to standard. Redfarmer (talk) 16:32, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
