No mention of his stuttering? check him out on you tube. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.170.143 ( talk) 21:15, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Clearly this should have a reference to the meme in the main article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.186.85.180 ( talk) 04:33, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Since this continues to be a problem, let me quote the Biographies of living persons policy: "Material available solely in questionable sources or sources of dubious value should not be used anywhere in the article. [. . .] Never use self-published books, zines, websites, forums, blogs or tweets as sources for material about a living person." Chick Bowen 02:33, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Actually, Chris, you're wrong. First of all, Failblog does not constitute a reliable source, as the majority of the content is user-generated (like Twitter, iMDb, Youtube, etc.) and there's very little editorial oversight. Additionally, this piece of "criticism" is not relevant to the subject's notability, as it has not been covered in other reliable sources (at least as criticism) and is right now the view of a tiny majority (one website). So per BLP, your sentence absolutely cannot be permitted. You might want to read WP:BLP and WP:RS for the relevant details. Cheers, Live.love.laugh.dream ( talk) 08:13, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
I only came to this article because of the popularity of his "like um" interview, and the fact Howard Stern was playing so many clips of it on his show, and I wanted to see if the guy was retarded or had a learning disability or something, and isn't this the purpose of Wikipedia? I am here to learn about the guy and you morons are blocking the information I seek. Wikipedia nazis, great. James Dylan ( talk) 22:00, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Let us be clear here. There are quite a few reasons not to link to the failblog entry. They are:
What's more, I cannot imagine any reason that we would link to it. To participate and further this inane and cruel meme? No thanks. Chick Bowen 01:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
I just came here to say how unbelievable it is that Lankster's page contains no mention if his notorious press conference. How can Wikipedia purport to "create a summary of all human knowledge" while knowingly omitting the most notable incident in a person's entire career? What else are Wikipedia editors willfully leaving out because they arbitrarily decide it isn't notable? I usually stick up for Wikipedia, but this is absolutely absurd, and the admin responsible should reassess his/her performance in relation to the original goals of the Wikipedia project. 98.66.182.93 ( talk) 00:46, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
