[edit] Travis Brenner

• del quite nonnotable online poker player. mikka (t) 07:46, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Claims notability, so can't speedy. Jamie 08:01, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Two of four Ghits are gay porn, not that there's anything wrong with that. Melchoir 09:02, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. There are very few online poker players mentioned in this encyclopedia, depsite having articles for all the major sites (and not for many of the best known casinos). As far as online players go, Brenner is one of the best. Makes no sense to delete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.147.225.144 (talk • contribs) 09:15, 14 December 2005
  • Can you find a media article mentioning him? I couldn't. Melchoir 09:19, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless there's a valid response to Melchoir's question. Essexmutant 09:54, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete To the extent that Google provides verifiable evidence which is limited he is mentioned as a wrestler but not a notable one [1].

Only Google News reference is as a wrestler as well [2]. Capitalistroadster 09:57, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

• The wrestler is also him.
  • But can you verify it? Melchoir 19:16, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

• I have found a reference now at [3]. Still not very notable by my thoughts though. Essexmutant 10:13, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I saw that, but it doesn't include his name in a complete sentence, so I don't call it a reference at all. Hell, I'm more notable than this guy. Melchoir 18:13, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Mikka. DeathThoreau 19:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I created this page, but it's clear that the consensus is to delete. Go ahead and do it.

• Keep. I retract my previous comment in support of deletion. If you google search The_Brenn (his online handle) you will get 233 results, all of which seem to be him. It makes sense that his noteability would manifest itself in this form, seeing as he is known for his online play. If he is taken down, we might as well take down all the articles that deal exclusively with online poker (pokerroom.com, etc.). If this guy is not decided to be noteable or worthy of inclusion, then the category itself just isn't worthy.

If nobody can disagree with that I think it's a speedy keep.
