[edit] Comments

Jon is absolutely notable enough to have a wikipedia page. He was one of the best prep players in Illinois basketball history, was one of the top recruits in the country, and is well on his way to becoming the next great Duke player (and in all likelihood the next great hated Duke white player). Although it is certainly true that he hasn't accomplished anything on the collegiate level yet, he is going to start at least a few guys for Duke this year as a Freshman. If this article gets deleted it is just going to have to be recreated again in a few months.

I concur, this guy is going to be excellent in college. Pepto gecko 16:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Someone recently added the religious designation of 'Jewish' in his player bio. While I happen to be a Christian, I hardly think that his faith is germane to this article. At the very least put it in some other context.Pepto gecko 23:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of the fact that he is Jewish

I would toss back in the fact that he was Jewish. The fact that he is in the Jewish Hall of Fame is not enough (if that was the thinking), as they can honor non-Jews (as Yad Vashem famously honors non-Jews, though it is a memorial to the Jews in the Holocaust).

Maybe it's just me, but a Jewish basketball star is not very common. I specifically came here to find out about his faith. If it's confirmed that he's Jewish, then I think it's ok for it to be in the article. 70.19.7.71 18:46, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jewish Hall of Fame

There is already an entry under awards for Scheyers induction into the Jewish Hall of Fame. I don't believe we need a seperate section /*Hall of Fame*/ to repeat this information. Вasil | talk 13:26, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I agree that there is no need for redundancy. The one quibble that I have is that I would leave the Hall of Fame section, but remove any redundant information in the awards section. That is parallel with a great number of other bios that I have seen and edited. Tx. Epeefleche 17:11, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I can live with that and make it so. Вasil | talk

Great. Tx.--Epeefleche 22:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia section and 2nd sentence of lead

Epee, Can we/you/I incorporate the trivia into the article? Its more of a MOS issue. Also, the lead doesn't need the fluff from a high school source or whatever that is? That really dosen't improve the article. MAYBE that stuff can go under "playing style" ect or in the main body unless their are multiple really good reliable sources and not just stats, ect. Can we work here? Anyways, how's it going? Cheers! --Tom (talk) 21:09, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Done. (I always prefer, actually, that people instead of deleting spend a few moments getting the cites or redistributing the material ... seems a shame for good material to be deleted only because of failure of people to do those things). Am doing well ... you?--Epeefleche (talk) 07:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Looks better, imho. Well you know I am a deletionist, so I will have to move stuff to the talk page rather than delete, but anyways....Doing well, have a nice Turkey day if you go that way. Cheers! --Tom (talk) 15:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scheyer face?

I think we should add a Scheyer face section. This is a very notable thing he does.

I think it could go something like this:

Scheyer is famous among fans of rival teams for his unique facial expressions, known as "Scheyer faces".
