[edit] Notability

From WP is Not News

"Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The bare fact that someone has been in the news does not in itself imply that they should be the subject of an encyclopedia entry. Where a person is mentioned by name in a Wikipedia article about a larger subject, but remains of essentially low profile themselves, we should generally avoid having an article on them.

If reliable sources only cover the person in the context of a particular event, then a separate biography is unlikely to be warranted. Marginal biographies on people with no independent notability can give undue weight to the events in the context of the individual, create redundancy and additional maintenance overhead, and cause problems for our neutral point of view policy. In such cases, a redirect or merge are usually the better options. Cover the event, not the person."

Sorry, but this article just does not satisfy WP criteria. --FeldBum 08:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Forman has won multiple contests all supported by reliable and verifiable sources from around the world. Sorry, but your claim that this article does not satisfy WP criteria is incorrect. Alansohn 18:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger Proposal

I think this entire page would be best placed under International_Bible_Contest, as its subject is only notable as part of that event. See above. --FeldBum 09:05, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
