Comment

I removed most of the content of this article for two reasons. First, it's copy/pasted directly from IMDB[1] - and that's a copyvio. Second, the IMDB biography was purportedly authored by the subject himself. As a result, it's both unreliable and represents a conflict of interest. It can also be considered self-sourced. All these represent a significant problem that is easily fixed by removing the offending text. Rklawton 03:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On a separate note, this article relies on IMDB (only somewhat reliable), self-sources, and a couple of articles that only mention the subject in passing (that is, the subject of the article is not the subject of this biography). The end result is that we've got a short and poorly sourced article that requires significant improvement. Rklawton 03:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If I had a registered account I'd probably just AfD it. There are countless stuntmen/amatuer gymnasts/people with personal websites, does that really make them notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia? --81.179.113.175 03:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gymnast

Has joe ever competed in any notable gymnastics competitions? If not, might be worth removing from the Category:Canadian gymnasts -- ratarsed (talk) 19:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto on the martial arts - in the absence of more detail I am removing bothe categories.Peter Rehse (talk) 13:37, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
