I've tried reasoning with Yankees10, and he doesn't seem willing to listen to anyone but the voices in his head. No one seems interested in doing anything about his annoying behavior. I don't know why he feels that he is the sole authority on what a major league baseball player's infobox is supposed to look like, but I truly wish someone would finally put him in his place. |

Hi Giants. I think you know how low my threshold is for college football player notability, but I saw the above article referenced at the College Football Project page, and this one seems to scream out, "I'm not notable." The guy is a backup quarterback, and the one mainstream media article that is cited about him is titled: "Is Virginia Tech quarterback Ju-Ju Clayton almost famous? Not yet" So even the source cited says he's not yet even almost famous. He may be notable once he establishes himself as a college player, but doesn't appear to have done so yet. I am not familiar with the process of nominating an article for AfD, but if you agree feel free to nominate this one. Cbl62 (talk) 17:24, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed. Clayton is 1) a backup 2) admittedly unfamous by the only headline about him. He's certaintly non-notable, so I'm going to be go nominate him for AfD. (For future reference, the process is outlined on WP:AFD)--Giants27(c|s) 18:29, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Most unconventional thankspam
And a very good morning to you, my Canadian friend. Thankyou for participating in my recent RfA. It was an oppose, but that's good. It's completely destroyed my aspriation to be sysopped. No sarcasm intended! I feel a lot better. Again thanks! Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 22:04, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
- Please don't feel discouraged, if you wait 6-9 months and put the maturity concerns behind you, RfA will be less bitter.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 22:06, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
- No, no. I don't mean it at all like that. I mean, if I was trying to be an admin, I would have to be all precise and kill myself for the slightest mistakes and be perfect, and that would be boring and no fun. I'm crazy, but not that crazy. Now I can just relax. Maybe I'll try again in a year or so, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 22:09, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
- Ahh...that makes sense. Sadly, having fun can be seen as immaturity and trying to not have fun can be difficult. IMHO, having fun (whether it's deemed mature or not) is best. Cheers,--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 22:12, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
- By the way, there's been something on my mind. It's a very trivial matter, but why does everyone put an exclamation mark before their !votes? Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 22:17, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
- Because RfA isn't "technically" a vote. :) An exclamation point is the symbol for "not", so they're saying "not vote". :) Hope this helps. Yours, –Katerenka ☆ 22:19, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
