2005 is currently feeling discouraged about Misplaced Pages and is taking an off-and-on wikibreak due to loss of motivation.

Your help in cheering this user up would be appreciated.

They will return when their wikistress has dissipated and their confidence in the wikicommunity has been restored.

Allen Kessler

Greetings. I have not been active in quite some time on Misplaced Pages but noticed today that an article was created this week for Allen Kessler. Currently he still has no bracelets, no WPT wins, no 7 figure scores. He has won WSOPC rings. Being a tour grinder, he does have a boatload of cashes and over 3 million in prize earnings. The question is, is he done enough yet to be notable? -Pparazorback (talk) 04:32, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

In terms of victories he wouldn't be, but every BIO article has the inclusion criteria of simply having coverage in independent sources, and there are several articles where he is the focus. So, he is a personality that publications find interesting or quirky enough to cover... essentially he may be a "celebrity" who may not merit celebrity, but there are tons of articles about people like that in the encyclopedia. In general I favor having stuff over not having stuff, but I don't have a strong opinion about him having an article or not. 2005 (talk) 05:50, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Not opposed to the existence of the article. Just didn't know how strict the project was on inclusion criteria as the way it is spelled out, he would not be notable. I used to be a fairly active editor years ago with over 5000 edits mostly dealing with WP:HOCKEY and remember the tons of AFD discussions there. Thanks -Pparazorback (talk) 07:05, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
