I have removed the prod placed on this article. I disagree with the assertion that the article should be deleted. While the article does indeed fail WP:Entertainer, it meets WP:GNG and WP:Notability, which override WP:Entertainer, as WP:Entertainer is merely an additional point of entry for notability, not a replacement of the general notability guidelines. The individual has multiple, non-trivial, media mentions in reliable sources (listed below) that establish notability sufficient to merit inclusion in Wikipedia.
In light of the sources, I think the individual is marginally notable, sufficient for inclusion in Wikipedia. Since I can certainly see how one might disagree, feel free to nominate for deletion via AfD. I think the article needs work, not deletion. Jo7hs2 ( talk) 01:43, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't understand why my edit was undone.
1. Having a spoiler to a series that hasn't even finished airing yet is surely a terrible addition to an article? 2. There's not even a source and I couldn't find any proof that he actually won series 11 of Taskmaster. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SilverEye91 ( talk • contribs) 19:45, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Remove the information that Mike won Series 11 of Taskmaster, or at least put in a spoiler tag. Series 11 hasn't fully aired yet and there is no source, or any easily accessible information that he has won. Wikipedia articles for the contestants on Taskmaster are frequently visited when the audience doesn't know the people. To have a wikipedia article feature such a prominent spoiler to a show that it is not even possible to have legally seen yet makes for a very bad wikipedia article. When said spoiler doesn't even have a source it becomes even more questionable and is essentially a rumor.
I would also like to say to whoever keeps reverting the edits: Please talk, don't just do. It is very frustrating when you're having, what you feel was, a good edited reverted with no explanation. SilverEye91 ( talk) 19:57, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Wozniak's medical background is important context for his comedy career. It is well sourced in several newspaper interviews with him and other profiles of him. But, whenever this information is added to the page, regardless of the source cited, it is swiftly removed by one particular user. This appears to have been happening since the page's creation. I am not sure what the rationale for removing this information is as:
- It is true, and corroborated in multiple sources
- It is an important fact for a biography page to contain
I have re-added the information for now, with a newspaper interview as the source. If there is more information as to why this should not be included, please discuss it here. TheDissilent ( talk) 11:41, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
