Surely it would be good to know how fat, by listing his official weight?Īlso, please do not remove notability flag without good reason. It's either international, or it needs to be explained what nation you're talking about.įinally, Rufus would probably be summed up by everyone as "a fat character". The restaurant stuff, nobody knows what nationwide means. If you think Rufus is worth having his own article, try providing an insight into his character, or explaining what makes him unique or revolutionary or popular (or unpopular). It doesn't matter that you can find a source to back something up if you are not saying anything worth saying. I'm echoing that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Not their use as sources in articles.- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 01:16, 20 March 2009 (UTC) Also point 2.5 subsection 5 covers creating articles based on random news items, such as kidnappings and so forth. You want to argue with sources, try here.

See most of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, especially section 2.9, point 5.
If Rufus tops a poll, that might count, but otherwise you're just providing news/publicity updates. You need to make or establish notable points, not just provide backup that a certain magazine likes or dislikes a character. It shouldn't get added as a reference just for referencing's sake. It doesn't really matter if a site is "reliable and verifiable". Look around at any other character article for crying out loud.- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 00:47, 20 March 2009 (UTC) There's no region lock on a reference, just a requirement that if something's cited the source is reliable and verifiable.

References should only be used to back up a point that's being made.įinally, unless Rufus turns out to be from Florda, I won't expect to see any more mention of the Tampa Tribune. It is not enough simply to Google his name every day and indiscriminately list everything that comes up. A reference article is not meant to be "Everything we can find out about Rufus".
I have removed a couple of the extraneous links from this page. 2 Anyone else notice a resemblance to Paul John Teutul, Sr?.
