*I went and followed the Rove link. Why would you want to delete Australia's most popular TV talent of three years running (I thought he had won in 2005 too, but maybe we haven't had that award yet)? Anyway, I followed all the links including the one to Rove's biography. Turns out that Rove actually mentions Channel 31 himself. I think this has more to do with you hating magicians than anything else. I read an article by Jay Sankey once (yes, I've heard of him even though he is Canadian) and he mentioned the "magician haters". IMHO, if you aren't into magic as an art form, then why are you commenting on the noteworthiness or otherwise of a particular magician (or in this case two?). Have you heard of Jay Sankey, or Brad Christian, Oz Perlman, Darwin Ortiz???? I can well understand why fans of magic are getting upset on here.

**Aaron was saying that IF there was an article on Rove back when he was ONLY on Channel 31, he would have VFDed that page, but Rove has had much more noteriety than that. And we are not "hating magicians" as you put it. We are simply following the set Wikipedia policy. It doesn't matter if they're magicians, or artist, or scientist or CEOs, we still apply the same standards. Jay Sankey shows notability as his trick was performed by Copperfield, an OBVIOUS credit to his talents and meaning he has achieved a degree of notability to be noticed in the magic world and general public. The Magic Dudes have put their own show on public TV (heck, gimme a couple hundred bucks and i can do the same thing) and produced their OWN DVD thats not mass distributed. Doesn't quite make the cut. And it doesn't matter if we've heard of them or not, we're judging on the basis of the article. That's a fair judgement for an encyclopedia.

*'''Comment'''Pheweee!!! read a few of those things up there...I think certain wannabe I.T. geeks are taking themselves just a tad too seriously. Whats this web site for again? A public forum for recognition of fine peoples (Magicians included) achievements or a rather pathetically insecure way of telling the world of what they do and dont personally prefer? Geesh, go tell mommy 8-) SHE probably cares. OH and by the way, if its all too complicated for you to learn about professional data base design and management, perhaps you better step aside and let the pros do it for you! OH and by the way by he way..where the hell did THIS excuse for a user interface come from? What:-O you dont know about that stuff. No go on...really? Geesh...Waiting feedback, if youve got it in you...From somewhere in the WORLD outside the latent north american republic!

**It's neither, it's an encyclopedia. Do you think your personal attacks are anything new around here? -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]]|[[User talk:Cyrius|✎]] 9 July 2005 17:17 (UTC)
