<DIV>I'm also sick and tired of being ridiculed about the snooker guy.
At the time I placed it on VfD, the article consisted of "Born 1949. A snooker
champion. He turned professional in 1971. He drank and smoked during
tournaments helping sponsored tobacco advertising. Today he is better known
for his throat cancer and a stand against tobacco industry." Please tell
me how I'm supposed to know that this is a meaningful article about an
important person, based upon this information?</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If people bring this up (and I haven't seen it
brought up since when it was current on VfD, so unless you get private mails
about this, you're being hyper defensive here) it's because it showed you as
someone unwilling to even do the most cursory research before recommending
deletion. For one thing, the article himself said the guy was a
professional player in a sport, and a champion. That alone probably makes
him important to keep. A quick Google would have told you
more.</FONT></DIV>
