A few days ago, during a Fox Sports Bay Area TV broadcast of a Sharks game (I forget which game), Marleau himself talked about his "home town" of Aneroid. I'm not sure where his actual birth place was, but I changed that sentence to clarify that his home town is Aneroid, and added a "citation needed" for the Swift Current reference, as I personally have never heard the town associated with him other than in this article. However, his stated birthplace at the beginning of the article was Aneroid, so I changed that to Swift current because it is inconsistent with aforementioned birthplace reference, and I'm giving the author the benefit of the doubt.
Also, I added an update about his progress during the current NHL season. PrinceYumil 11:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Why was the trade rumor deleted that I posted? It is a true rumor. Naps90 20:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

His birthplace according to hundreds of reliable sources like TSN, ESPN, NHL, Yahoo, etc. all say his birthplace is Aneroid. Regardless of what may be true or not, wikipedia goes by what the sources say under Wikipedia:Verifiability. There is one source that says that versus 20 others I can name that says Aneroid.-- Everyone Dies In the End ( talk) 05:41, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Here are sources that say Aneroid. (You are free to add more).
I found one real source for Swift Current the rest were all mirrors of wikipedia. (you are free to add more)
Since the above discussion is mis-titled and hasn't reached any conclusion, I have started this section and will attempt to refocus the discussion.
1) Until we reach a consensus I suggest that we leave the birthplace as "Swift Current", as it was the last stable version.
2) Some sources say Swift Current, some say Aneroid. When there are conflicting sources, the quality of the sources should be considered. I believe the birthplace information on the Canadian Olympic Committee site (which indicates Swift Current) to be the highest quality. The COC would have verified Marleau's birth certificate, passport etc. when confirming that he is eligible to represent Canada. ESPN, Sportsnet etc. would not have access to these documents.-- SaskatchewanSenator ( talk) 18:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
By the way, the official website of the Sharks spells Aneroid as his birthplace. As this site is managed by people close to the franchise and is meant to have reliable information (especially by players themselves or official sources, as well as nhl.com), I would say Aneroid should be picked. Let's say, if there were a mistake or an ambiguity, the club would know, and Patrick Marleau among others would surely mention it to make it right. Mianreg ( talk) 19:18, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
In the Playing Career section, there is a photo with the caption "Marleau during the 2009–10 season. In that season, he became the first member of the Sharks to score more than 30 goals in a single season." That is inaccurate. Several Sharks had scored 30 or more goals in a single season prior to the 2009-2010 season. During the 2005-2006 season, Jonathan Cheechoo scored 56 goals. However, Marleau did score 44 goals that season - his highest single-season NHL tally to date. Perhaps that was what the writer had intended to call attention to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.55.55.39 ( talk) 19:19, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
