[edit] Rich Guzman

An obvious hoax. Article created removed prod, claiming it was all "true." Andrew Levine 23:26, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

• It is not a hoax, any baseball analyst deserves a spot on wikipedia, he is a real analyst that happened to get fired thank you. -Widereceiver19 (talk · contribs)
  • Provide some evidence that he's real. Actual baseball analysts may deserve a spot on Wikipedia, but not make-believe ones. Andrew Levine 23:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I cannot find any info about him, but i saw him on baseball tonight in March and i know him well. He was an ESPN analyst, i dont know why i cannot find "real" evidence on the internet. My word should be enough. -Widereceiver19 (talk · contribs)
      • Accepting editors' words for things is what we explicitly do not do around here. The fact that it is impossible to do so on a wiki than anyone can create an account on is one of the very underpinnings of our Wikipedia:Verifiability policy. Uncle G 01:01, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
      • My word should be enough. Hahahahahahahaha... no, it shouldn't. Danny Lilithborne 01:37, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep i remember him, no wonder he got fired, but he still deserves a spot on wiki —Preceding unsigned comment added by EmersonS (talk • contribs)
• Delete No one is doubting your word, but maybe you got the name a bit wrong? Come back with a better article when you have the details straight and have some references. --Brianyoumans 23:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep I dont think i got the name wrong, it might not have references because he was a short lived analyst on ESPN, hardcore sports fans like the guy 2 posts above me would know him because of his crazy predictions. He was fired, but he's famous to sports fans --Widereceiver19 (talk · contribs)
• Weak Delete If he's so famous, why is there no evidence of him on the Web? Unless a ESPN or news site can be found supporting this guy's existance, delete as nonnotable. Kerowyn ^{Leave a note} 00:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Edit: Additionally, the Baseball Tonight article doesn't mention him, which would be expect if he was such a character. Kerowyn ^{Leave a note} 00:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• • He's not a huge character, but he was a one time analyst that got fired. He deserves an article if other pages on this site do, please keep this. You guys must not pay attention to sports—Preceding unsigned comment added by Widereceiver19 (talk • contribs)
    • Actually, I'm a big sports fan, don't remember this guy. Maybe he was the one who reported the Teeterdil results? Fan-1967 01:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as either a hoax or a udderly non-notable individual - not one source about him?--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 00:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete per WP:V. We can't verify it, we don't keep it. Fan-1967 01:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete per nom. Shenanigans by Widereceiver19 do not help his case at all. Danny Lilithborne 01:37, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
