Andy Thompson

The Andy Thompson (under "People from Sun Prairie") referred to on this page is a 1994 graduate of Sun Prairie High School, not the Andy Thompson the link takes one to. I am unfamiliar with the proper wikipedia editing protocol in this situation, however, and will leave it to somebody who knows more that I do to fix it.

• In this case yuo would delink it because Andy Thompson, former Toronto Blue Jays outfielder doeas not have a page on Wikipedia.--Hraefen ^Talk 18:04, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Korey Lothe

This person was listed as notable as follows:

• Korey Lothe, St. Louis Rams defensive end

But, I believe this is somewhat misleading. According to this: http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/STL/9411111 he was signed on May 1, 2006, and according to this: http://www.stlouisrams.com/Team/Transactions/ he was released on May 15th. I'm not sure two weeks signed to an NFL team is notable. Anybody care to discuss?

• Citing Wikipedia:Notability (people):

"Sports people/athletes/competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports or other competitive activities that are themselves considered notable, including college sports in the United States. Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate, but only if the individual is at a club of sufficient stature that most members of its squad are worthy of articles. Third-party verification from a non-trivial publication outside of publications by sponsors of the sport or activity should be provided to demonstrate that the subject is widely recognized—meeting the first criterion—as performing in a fully professional league or at the highest level."
