I like to suggest to have Political section of the Wikipedia to move up above Wresting Section to allow easier Wikipedia and wresting sections + wresting info box to spited. A more better picture and Page of him being a Mayor (Not in WWE) title changes to his real name Glenn Jacobs (Not Kane (Wrestler) since hes a Mayor now. Thanks Political and Wresting Wiki Editors. @ David O. Johnson: @ Galatz: Colton Meltzer ( talk) 04:31, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page at this time, per the discussion below. Additionally, although a split can't be mandated or rejected by this close, it does not appear that there is consensus to split the article at this time. Please continue that discussion as necessary.

Kane (wrestler) → Glenn Jacobs – Getting this out of the way. Jacobs is currently best known for portraying a popular wrestling character, and the article of course still focuses on that character, but now that he has won political office the article will need to cover that as well. Therefore, the article title should reflect that scope, and not only his career portraying a character. 50.248.234.77 ( talk) 00:45, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
This article should be moved to Glenn Jacobs, as he is now a mayor and that is his primary occupation. David O. Johnson ( talk) 04:22, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
@ David O. Johnson: i completely agree it should be renamed regardless to his mayor name and his Kane is known to be secondary now regardless. You can try attempt again to get the page move to rightful name which is Glenn Jacobs. It just doesn't mater sense to have Mayor Name Kane when its display 10)% Glenn Jacobs. Colton Meltzer ( talk) 01:20, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
This was discussed previously and consensus was reached to keep the page as is. It should also be noted that Antonio Inoki (Kanji Inoki), Jesse Ventura (James Janos) etc. have kept their wrestling names (and their wikipedia page names) long into their political stints. Many more wrestlers went into acting (The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper etc.) and their wikipedia pages reflect their commonly known-by names rather than birth names.

Is there by any chance if someone can remove "semi-retired"? Because I looked some info and it has no info about him conforming his retirement from wrestling, he was only taken out of action due to an injury and he is still active in wrestling. 2600:1000:B03A:6169:1138:FA07:1E73:F32C ( talk) 05:15, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
Done - Nothing in the article specifically states Jacobs is "semi-retired" from wrestling. Additionally, the term "semi-retired" is extremely vague when applied to wrestling, a business in which some of the biggest names are not on the road full-time and veterans often perform (in some capacity) into their 60s.

Kane (wrestler) → Glenn Jacobs (politician) – Glenn Jacobs won political office and this article will need to cover political section mostly even if he doing small amount of wresting activity. Therefore, the Wikipedia page title should focus on his country mayor role over wresting (2nd). Colton Meltzer ( talk) 06:44, 1 November 2018 (UTC) Colton Meltzer ( talk) 06:44, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Professional wrestling style and persona -> "Upon his debut in the WWF, Jacobs had a gimmick of a dental hygienist named Dr. Issac Yankem[222] and later Kevin Nash's Diesel character following Hall's departure to WCW in 1996." Not "Hall's departure" but "Nash's departure".
I've removed the claim that Kane is billed from "Parts Unknown". This is a claim that has been added and readded to the article many times over the years, but has never been properly sourced. Without wanting to be unreasonable, this claim is controversial and needs a robust source.
The sources provided are not credible. One is clearly copied from Wikipedia and another is a fantasy booking page. Additionally, the sources are not substantiated by official sources. Four extracts from the WWE website, none of them referencing "Parts Unknown": Kane's bio in 1999, Kane's bio in 2005, Kane's bio in 2013, Kane's bio now
Additionally, the text as presented suggests that Kane has regularly been billed from Parts Unknown. This is clearly not the case, so quoting this info is WP:UNDUE.
If this information is to be re-added, please specify a date on which Kane was billed from "Parts Unknown" so this can be independently verified.

Recommend ADDING to end of Professional wrestling career section - specifically, immediately after "On November 22, 2020 he made an appearance at Survivor Series during The Undertaker's retirement ceremony" - adding:
On Jan. 31, 2021, Kane was an unannounced entrant at the 2021 Royal Rumble (link to: /info/en/?search=Royal_Rumble_(2021)), where he entered at #18. He eliminated two participants - Dolph Ziggler and Ricochet - before being eliminated by Damian Priest at the 1:51 mark. KyleNiemi ( talk) 15:21, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Kane did not announce his retirement at the Hall of Fame so it's too soon to jump to the conclusion that he is retired. Goldberg for example continued to wrestle after his HOF Induction so its best to keep Kane as an active wrestler until he officially announces his retirement. 86.152.210.110 ( talk) 19:16, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
I thought the exact same thing. WWE or Kane haven’t acknowledged anything about him retiring so the part stating ‘retired wrestler’ should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.249.184.124 ( talk) 21:22, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
