message: :Barry Popik and wife, Angie, were long-time Manhattan  residents, but the Popiks now live in Austin, Texas.

:Since 1990, Popik has served as a New York City administrative law judge in the Parking Violations Bureau of the City's Department of Finance.
If he now lives in Austin, can he still be an administrative law judge in NYC? I suspect something here needs updating, and it certainly needs clarification.--Jim10701 (talk) 03:10, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I have to question the notability of this article, based on the following guidelines:
"If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article."
Significant Coverage : Popik appears to only be the direct subject of one listed source. Of this source, he is only the subject of one of the forty chapters about various Americans and their unusual hobbies. 
Reliable : All of the sources appear to be reliable
Sources : Aside from the above mentioned chapter, there are only two secondary sources, both of which seem to mention Popik trivially.
Independent of the subject : One of the sources was written by Popik himself and, therefore, cannot be included in his notability.
Presumed : I am of the personal opinion that Popik is a significant person among some circles, but not notable enough to warrant inclusion into Wikipedia unless more sources can be provided.168.158.220.3 (talk) 23:58, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur. The whole article sounds like it was written by someone who knows the guy really well. Too well. (Lots of) big predicates; very small subject.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.228.6.74 (talk) 15:51, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I've deleted the credit under Publications for "Co-author, The Origin of New York City's Nickname "The Big Apple" (forthcoming 2006)". It is now less than a week until 2011 and the book does not seem to have appeared, nor can I find it listed on his website. -- Thnidu (talk) 16:42, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
