An individual covered by or significantly related to this article, Jawed Karim, has edited Wikipedia as Jawed (talk · contribs)

If he is a co-founder of you tube, then i do believe he deserves his space here. I would love to meet a guy like this, he must be crazy!--Dulcich (talk) 04:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Appears to be cofounder of a Top 10 website in the United States (YouTube), and is mentioned on Notable Alumni pages of two universities. Therefore probably noteworthy? Trendsettler 07:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Must have verifiable articles for article

On Wikipedia, you have to use Wikipedia standards for articles you write. Check out WP:NN and WP:V for example. You can find at least two third party sources for your articles - reputable newspaper, magazine articles, etc. to reference the material. Alumni magazines and personal web sites do not count, nor do other references in Wikipedia. You can link to other Wikipedia sites (that is encouraged) but that does not count as a verifiable source.

Also Jawed Karim's personal web site seems amateur and does not add much to article. It does not make him notable. Mattisse(talk) 09:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I left an example of a verifiable source on your talk page, Trendsettler, but it does not mention his involvement with YouTube or make him seem notable.

[edit] Wikipedian

Note, incidentally, that Jawed is a long-term (if rather occasional) wikipedian - Jawed (talk · contribs) -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 16:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, his claim (in the article) to have created the Air Force One article appears to be bourne out by that article's history. It was created by 64.130.136.101 (talk · contribs) in this edit; that IP is registered to a DSL supplier to Mountain View, California. Mountain View is the adjacent town to Palo Alto, and thus is handy for Stanford (particularly for Stanford students who avoid overpriced and parking-ticket-happy Palo Alto). -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 15:49, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other connections

Incidentally, he was an EFnet #c regular and (I believe) one half of Nullsoft before Winamp turned it into a commercial entity. No citation, that's why I'm putting this on Talk: instead. 74.129.234.170
