Talk:Chris Smith

Christopher M. Smith

Take a look at Wikipedia:Notability (people). In the wide spectrum of things, he is unheard of. ^{Don't fear the Reaper} 03:25, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

68.238.178.20 's add

I do not believe he is noteworthy enough for a wikipedai article. It sounds like a vanity add. I will dig deeperMikereichold 03:27, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

it is no vanity add...he was a standout basketball player for North Penn High School who was on varsity by sophomore year and had scouts recruiting him...He unfortunately died in a car crash September 29. He was a member of the second largest high school in Pennsylvania and touched the lives of the majority of its students and faculty.

I'm sorry that he died, and I'm sorry that such a promising life was cut short, but he is unheard of outside of where he lived, and that is one of the requirements of keeping him in. ^{Don't fear the Reaper} 03:32, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Hate to rub salt in the wound, but an altavista search had 81 hits. The only one for THIS "Christopher M. Smith" was this article.Mikereichold 03:35, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok. Thank you (reaper that is, now that I see the comment just made from mike) for at least explaining it and being respectful with what happened. There are numerous sites (news) online about the affect the death (automotive) has left on Harrisburg, PA legislatures and their new push for limiting teenager passengers. And a Tournament was created in his name and Philadelphia's Inquirer made mention of his absense to what was going to be a promising team.

Whole 'nother topic. Why are several of the names (all in a clump) in italics? ;Bear 23:23, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

The Director of Creep and Severance

Does he have his own page? --81.146.14.11 15:49, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Subdivide into areas of interest?

It looks to me like there is enough to add subheadings for those who gained fame through politics, sports, entertainment, and whatever other way one can gain fame. Just wondering if we can redo this page by subheading? DandyDan2007 11:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Vanity, I betcha

The latest addition, at the head of the list, fer petes sake, looks for sure like self-aggrandizement. (the video game guy) ;Bear 05:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Fictional characters

I think the fictional characters should be split into a subsection, instead of being lumped in a unified entertainment section. We should not be mixing fictional characters with real people. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 04:43, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
