David Jakus[edit]

Bio of co-captain of Harvard fencing team. 188 Google hits. Was first tagged as {{db-attack}}, but on the talk page, the author says the attack was done by his roommates. Still vanity failing to meet WP:BIO. Delete. Kusma (討論) 23:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not so sure about that any more, since it says on WP:BIO college sportspeople playing "at the highest level" could be included. I have no idea how to rank this person, and would like comments. Kusma (討論) 23:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Qualifies as all-American captain of an Ivy League fencing team. Harvard is a power in the sport-- JJay 00:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Harvard fences in NCAA competition, however David only placed 12th in individual sabre at last year's nationals [1]. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 02:18, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He is a well-known celebrity at Harvard and the greater Boston area. He is also involved in the development of a groundbreaking heart monitor, and will escort the Hungarian ambassador's daughter to her coming of age celebration. —the preceding unsigned comment is by 140.247.154.205 (talk • contribs) 03:34, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- Then it was rather mean of you to vandalize his page. [2] --Malthusian (talk)
- Good for him. I hope she's pretty. Doesn't make him notable though. --kingboyk 19:27, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Hundreds of thousands of people play sports at university. Inevitably some of them become captains of the team - someone's got to do it. Where we set the bar for notability of people who play sports against each other is vague, but it isn't here. If kept, there's not one but two sets of POV we have to defend it against - the author's and his roommates'. --Malthusian (talk) 12:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This All-American athlete captained Harvard's varsity fencing team to its first Ivy League Championship in 28 years and has established the school as the new NCAA powerhouse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.189.189.158 (talk • contribs)
Delete as non-notable biography. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-24 06:43Z
Delete... one non-notable article in the Boston Globe. The Harvard Crimson has not written a profile about him. Calwatch 04:36, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
