AFD debate

This article has been kept following this AFD debate. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:31, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is ridiculous that Tyson Mao's wiki page is longer than the wiki pages of many highly accomplished entities, like Goldman Sachs, Sofia Coppola, or Jamie Dimon (one of the most influential people of 2006, according to Time). As such, his self-glorifying wiki that was made clearly for college admissions, has been shortened considerably.

???

This article appears to contain a lot of non-encyclopaedic material - an example chess game, details of rubik's cube solving, "born prematurely". I will delete what I don't think is relevant. - Mysteronald - actually i can't be bothered. i'm surprised this article wasn't deleted as vanity.

8 weeks

"just imagine how amazing Tyson would have been, had he not set eyes upon this world 8 weeks earlier than intended". OK, obviously joking, very funny, but should be removed. The addition of cousin Susan is from the same editor. Is that credible?

I have shorted Mao's article because it is simply too long and too detailed and clearly self-glorifying. His chess skills are sub-par when compared to world competitors, and should not even be mentioned. Additionally, it is unnecessary to discuss every media appearance he has been on, and to summarize each. After all, does Tom Hanks' wiki have every movie he's been on, with a full summary for each?

Out Of Date Info

Much of the info in this article is out of date. I am removing several lines such as "where his competition times are currently surpassed only by Leyan Lo, Rowe "the hat" Hessler, and Chris Krueger" which is no longer true, given that he is only 26th place in the world. Honestly, I would even debate whether he should have an article given his relative unimportance in the current speedcubing environment. But his beginner method and teaching Will Smith are probably noteworthy. Qinwamascot (talk) 01:46, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tyson Mao DOES NOT OWN Rubiks.com!!!

Just to get this straight, The person who edited this wiki should be familiarize himself/herself with the COPYRIGHT LAWS, that Rubiks.com belongs to Erno Rubik, and not Tyson Mao. Therefore, the Rubiks.com website should NOT be listed under Tyson Mao's name.

Instead it should be put under Erno Rubik's name!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.0.207.110 (talk) 06:23, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
