No Wikipedia page on Colion Noir?

[MisplacedTexan]

Hmmm, odd - seems like there is a page on everything else under the sun.

Yeah I know the information there can be wrong since it's user supported..... and perhaps that's why there isn't a page - especially in the political arena I've seen reports where operatives on one side of fence have been caught inflating their guy and editing their opponent with damaging info.

But I was still curious.

Too bad.

You can try starting one. See what happens.

Wikipedia has a policy regarding pages for people who have to be "notable"(it's entirely possible he's had a page, but it was pulled for not following the policy). Of course you could make a page for Colion Noir, but what has he done that's "notable"? Posting youtube videos doesn't count, and near as I can tell he hasn't done much other than host/appear on some NRA web shows.

It's not even necessarily about anti gun people at wikipedia either, as there are plenty of notable personalities related to firearms in one way or another that do have pages on wikipedia.

That's not notable or uncommon.

Wikipedia has a policy regarding pages for people who have to be "notable". . .

Yeah, because Marshall Applewhite and Jim Jones are notable and both have WP pages.

Your point? "notable" doesn't exclude being a maniac. The only things "notable" so far are that he's black, is pro-gun, and posts videos online. There are tons of other people who do the same thing.

Realistically speaking, what would you even put on the wiki page for him? His DoB? Real name? A link to his youtube channel? You could barely fill more than a paragraph. Hell, there's more about pewdiepie on wikipedia than you could write about Colion Noir.

damn right.....

I've been to major gun shows and seen 10-20 Blacks at most. I wonder what percent of NRA is Black? I doubt it is the 13% or so like the general population. I think Ben Cannon had a Wikipedia page but they took it down. Gene Hoffman had one too I think it is still up.

I personally don't know a single Black owned gun shop right now and have only run in to a very few in a lifetime of being involved heavily in guns.

Meh

[Merc1138]

lol.

Look, I know obama got a nobel prize for being black. But I assure you, it's not normally something notable, no matter how few black people show up at an NRA dinner.

[Noble Cause]

Colion Noir is just a stage name.

Real name = Collins Idehen

He is also 31 years old, and an attorney in Texas.

I've enjoyed most of his videos defending all things 2nd Amendment.

I've also enjoyed all the hair pulling, teeth gnashing, and angst
from the Anti Gun Crowd as they thrash about trying to vilify this
young man for speaking his mind clearly and eloquently in defense of
the 2nd Amendment.

Wikipedia Guidelines:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipe...bility_(people)

Basic criteria

People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in
multiple published[4] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually
independent of each other,[5] and independent of the subject.[6]

If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple
independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial
coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish
notability.[7]

Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not
contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.

People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting
the additional criteria below. Articles may still not be created for such people
if they fall under exclusionary criteria, such as being notable only for a single
event, or such as those listed in What Wikipedia is not.

I support him, but man, his speaking charisma is just south of a cucumber. I can't listen to more than a minute or so. Monotonous.

I went to a NRA dinner in Compton of all places and I don't remember seeing a single Black person. I should go to another but I never got around to going back.
