[edit] Russ Hogue

Russ Hogue (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable (local only) - also appears to violate WP:COI and WP:OR. Peter Rehse 01:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete a myriad of titles is given, but their importance and veracity is dubious. The most legitimate claim to fame seems to be being an alternate to the Pan Am Games. Furthermore, the only news coverage I could find were three trivial mentions of how he did in specific tournaments, e.g., ...heavyweight Randall, 17, who stopped Russ Hogue of St. Louis at 1 minute 55 seconds of the second round... (The Milwaukee Journal, April 19, 1994). -SpuriousQ (talk) 02:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete nn notable athlete. Checking the links this caught my eye Pat Riley a former basketball player and coach for the LA Lakers, New York Knicks, and Miami Heat is linked in the article as a Karate teamate along with Richard Osborn and architect John James makes me doubt whether any of the article is verifiable or a possible hoax. --John Lake 05:14, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • comment - The dubious wikilinks are likely the result of blind linking. The names are what would generally be considered common names. -- Whpq 17:07, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - According to WP:BIO, this person might qualify as competing at the top of his sport. But, there are no sources provided, and I am unable to find any through googling so for me it fails WP:RS, and WP:V. -- Whpq 17:07, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
