• Comment Sounds like he could be notable, but definitely needs references. Possible WP:COI problems as article creator is the subject's brother (see summary of this image). FiggyBee 18:38, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Here some are references, please help me. I'm ingorant about this wikipedia thing. [1] [2]

Also watch the Arlington Drafthouse link right in the article. If someone had actually clicked on that I can't imagine they wouldn't consider it a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.75.86.197 (talk • contribs)

None of those references appears to qualify as a reliable source. Also note that WP:BIO guidelines do not include winning a local bar's comedy competition as a criteria for establishment of notability. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:00, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
