Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jim Diamond (magician)
as a good rule of thumb, if the mere ''existence'' of the subject can't be proved, then that's a good sign that the subject is fundamentally too |unverifiable for a Wikipedia article.  Stage magicians tend not to be the most publicity-shy folks out there, and I have my doubts that someone could successfully work in that field for 45 years as claimed and yet have no reliable sources for any of it.  "The Amazing Mr. Diamond", supposedly his stage name per the article, doesn't come up with anything http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=Y64&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22Amazing+Mr.+Diamond%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= on Google besides his own site, this article, and some random references to Neil Diamond.  ''"Jim Diamond" +magician'' similarly http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22Jim+Diamond%22+%2Bmagician&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= comes up empty, with the first hit being an unrelated magician named Diamond Jim Tyler.  Nothing at all http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22Jim+Diamond%22+%2Bmagician on Google News either, even going back into the archives.  This being a |BLP, we need a whole lot more to go on than "Jim's" own website.  Another Carl Sagan|genius once said "''Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.''".  So, as always, source it or lose it
