[edit] Konnan

(The first nomination, from January)

The first nomination of this article was rejected primarily on the basis of the absence of in-text reference and the excessive number of sections. The number of sections has now been decreased and the article has been comprehensively referenced. The article has undergone a peer review; I believe all of the suggestions raised therein have been implemented. McPhail 19:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Object It is well-referenced, but those references are exclusively internet sites. It'd be better if you had more published sources. Also needs a copyedit (what's "$1,3000"?)UberCryxic 00:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment- Have you edited this? There are some mistakes. For example, In addition, he also wrestled for major American promotions such as the World Wrestling Federation, Extreme Championship Wrestling, World Championship Wrestling and, currently, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Konnan currently wrestled Total Nonstop Action Wrestling? Also, although red links are not FA criteria, it's better not to have them. Cut out the very's. -Osbus 01:02, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Oppose Way too many of the references are to first-person interviews with the subject or the subject's online biographies. Too close to original research. -- Gnetwerker 05:56, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

• Isn't the purpose of WP:NOR to exclude using Wikipedia as a primary source (ie. presenting data you yourself created/collected), as well as to exclude using Wikipedia to introduce new theories/terms, proving thesis statements? --maclean25 07:21, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Perhaps I should have cited WP:RS and/or WP:AUTO, which suggest that the subject is not a reliable source in a biography. -- Gnetwerker 14:46, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
