[edit] Mike Magee (poker player)

Poker player, not even a world champion poker player, not encyclopedic, delete --nixie 10:29, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Seems to be notable within the Poker world (which is itself substantial) TigerShark 14:50, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Delete Just under the bar of notability IMHO. I'm inclinded to think that all winners of WSOP/WPO events, and any poker tournament with an entry fee >= $10,000 (or EUR 5000) are intrinsicly notable. Ditto for any winners of prize >= $1,000,000 in any poker tournament. I will give Mr Magee, credit as PL Hold'em is much much harder than NL Hold'em. Klonimus 23:26, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I wrote almost all of the poker player articles we have (not this one, obviously), and I agree this guy is non-notable. Only in England could he be considered well-known, and even then probably only moderately so. The number of players who have a tournament history like him number easily in the thousands, so I don't think there's anything special about him. CryptoDerk 01:22, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: while I have no idea myself of the notability of this particular player, I must note that the phrase "not even world champion" is out of line: even the legend T. J. Cloutier has yet to win the World Series of Poker. - furrykef (Talk at me) 00:41, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
