[edit] Steve Wisdom

The person is not notable —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.189.241.185 (talk • contribs)

• Weak Keep I don't know enough about finance to scrutinize, but the links provided seem to assert some notability. However, it needs a heavy rewrite. Danny Lilithborne 05:33, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Lexis-Nexis and Newsbank searches come up empty. If you're a fund manager and have only one news article to your name, you're in deep deep trouble. ~ trialsanderrors 06:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Honestly, I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough about the subject to weigh in properly here, but I did clean up the article a little just because it was such a mess. My gut reaction is that if this guy were a significant figure, he'd make a bigger splash. -- Captain Disdain 07:06, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep He was recently featured on the cover of Bloomberg Magazine. Growing in Fame, though less famous than Victor Niederhoffer Jimbo68 13:12, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Trialsanderrors. Notable fund managers get significant coverage in the financial press. If Wisdom isn't getting such coverage, that's a major red flag. Fan-1967 14:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Check Bloomberg, best resource for finance people, mentioned in 5 books on Amazon.com also GuBu 13:24, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Below is copied and pasted from the Steve Wisdom Discussion page. I believe it should be kept, as he is well known in the hedge fund business as a partner at the best performing fund of the last three years. Also relevant as a link from the Niederhoffer page.

  • Comment I've removed this text since it was altered to look like AfD votes, and they really weren't that. However, I've also added the appropriate link to your vote, so people who do want to visit the talk page easily can. lowercase 19:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete without a more direct claim of notability. Most keep voters have very few edits, and a high percentage of Steve Wisdom-related edits. lowercase 19:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete, not notable enough --JD79 00:41, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable enough for Bio Arevich 00:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Article writers failed to properly source the article.Trade2tradewell 05:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Maybe not worlds most famous trader, but seems reasonable as a keep 81.154.180.39 10:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete there's apparently a walled garden effect here. Dlyons493 Talk 20:17, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Blizzard of One 16:02, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete not terribly notable. -- moe.RON ^{talk | done | doing} 18:49, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
