[edit] Zack Wolk

Zack Wolk (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Proceedural listing; an anon apparently tried to AFD this by doing this, but they obviously couldn't create the subpage and didn't put the AFD notice on top of the article or ask anyone for help. I can only guess at their motivation; but the article has been tagged with the notability concerns and unreferenced templates for about a month. There are some notes and external links at the bottom. One is to a blog, two are to the internet movie database, one is to his official website, one is to youtube, one is to a newspaper, and one is to experts.about.com. Only one of those qualifies as a reliable source. Looking at the filmography section I would think he'd be notable; but the IMDB link does not confirm that he was in those movies. The only place that I can find where he is alleged to have been in those movies is this Wikipedia article. He is not listed in the Wikipedia articles for the movies, or in the IMDB as having been in those movies. However, none of those movies or tv shows are ones that I have watched or follow; and I have not done much research as I intend this to be simply a proceedural nom helping out the anon. Nonetheless, I'm wondering if this is a hoax article. Is this article verifiable from reliable sources or not? ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 15:49, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment not a single one of the interwiki's has an article associated with it. IMDB list him only as crew on Tom Green show, not in any of the movies listed. Feels wrong... The Rambling Man 15:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
It really does, doesn't it? ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 16:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete since the sources seem to point at blogs and really assert no notability other than someone that happens to know Tom Green. Besides that, the factual inaccuracies undermine the whole article. The Rambling Man 16:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete since the IMDB doesn't support any of the roles in blockbuster movies. Is it possible that these were uncredited roles? Yes, it is, but we can't take chances. It's either WP:V by WP:RS or it goes in the bin. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Further comment I just read the news article linked as a source. It's all about Tom Green's show; it only mentions Zack Wolk once. The exact sentence is, "His first guests were... and Zack Wolk, a 24-year-old longtime fan of Green's work." That's all it has to say about him. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 16:41, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, even assuming any of this is verifiable, it seems inherently un-notable.--Dhartung | Talk 05:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
