In the top line, his name is listed as Xavier Clifford Nady VI, but his son is Xavier Henry Nady VII. Wouldn't his son have to have the same middle name to be continued with a number? Is it Clifford or Henry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.134.229 ( talk) 19:15, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
A song called "The Ballad of X" by a group called "Kuff and the Buttheads" is a tribute to Xavier Nady's short stint with the New York Mets. For some time a reference to the song existed in the trivia section of Xavier Nady's wikipedia article. Recently the trivia was deleted because it was deemed irrelevant, and had no pertinence to Xavier Nady's baseball career. I disagree, and I was told to air my argument on this discussion board. I would assume that the majority of people reading Xavier Nady's wikipedia entry would be Xavier Nady fans and thus would be delighted to learn that a song about him exists, and can be found on the internet. Several biographical entries on Wikipedia include references to songs written about the biographical subjects, but for some reason, whether it be the relative unpopularity of the song, this reference was deleted. Please post to let me know if you agree that at least a reference, and not a link, to the song should exist on Xavier Nady's Wikipedia entry, since the song is a tribute to Xavier and thus holds relevance in relation to his baseball career. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.52.58.130 ( talk • contribs)
When did Wikipedia become the judge and jury as to what constitutes a notable band? There are several bands out there that neither myself nor you have probably ever heard of, yet this does not make them non notable. The song in question here was written by a Met fan whom I would suppose is also a big fan of Xavier Nady's. Xavier Nady, as you have pointed out before, only played as a Met for a short time, yet during that short time, 75 games to be exact, he managed to endear himself to Mets fans, who admired and respected him for his hard work and his laid back, easy going attitude. He was referred to as the X-Man by his manager, his teammates and New York Metropolitan fans. During his time in New York, he contributed several clutch hits which led to victories for the New York Mets. His trade was the result of a freak cab accident involving Duaner Sanchez, which Kuff and the Buttheads mention in the song, and the majority of Met fans were dismayed and upset by the trade. Xavier himself alluded to being frustrated with the trade in several interviews, having gone from a first place team headed to the playoffs to a last place team that has long occupied the cellar of the National league. The song echoes that frustration, and stands as an ode to Xavier's time with the Mets and his sad departure from the Mets. I understand removing the link to the song, as I am sure it probably violates some wikipedia rule, but removing the trivia itself does a grave disservice to fans of Baseball, Xavier Nady and loyal wikipedia readers worldwide.

This is a dispute as to the inclusion of a song about Xavier Nady on his Wikipedia page
17:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Saw the RFC and came on by and here's my take: The song should be included only if 1) it is by a band which meets the Wikipedia inclusion requirements of WP:MUSIC or 2) the song has been mentioned in mainstream media coverage of Nagy. Gamaliel 19:13, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Another RFC response. It is necessary to source the statement about the song to a reliable source. Myspace is not a reliable source. Blogs are not reliable sources. Absent any evidence of reliable sourcing, any statement about the song can be removed. If there is reliable sourcing, the issue is one for a consensus of editors, and I decline to comment upon that at this time, since I see above no evidence of reliable sourcing. I will, however, note that the citation should be to the reliable source, and that any link to the song should adhere to the guidelines at Wikipedia:External links. It is possible that a link to the song could meet those tests; a link to the performers website generally would certainly not meet those guidelines. GRBerry 22:12, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
The inclusion of this song by a band that likely flunks WP:BAND due to minor notability in some blogs is pretty clear cut band vanity and should be removed from the page. Wikipedia does not exist to publicize some song. youngamerican ( ahoy-hoy) 03:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Xavier is his nefew. Also, you may want to mention his marital status etc. 12.24.60.12 15:35, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
The song should be added. It is about Xavier Nady's career. Upon further researching, the band's lesser-known status (only sparingly known throughout the Met fan community) is a moot point. Putting the song on this website does not increase the band's notoriety and as such, it doesn't seem that the group's members would benefit from adding that a song has been written about Xavier Nady. How many baseball players have SONGS written about them anyway? If I was Xavier Nady, I would want to know if there was a song with my name on it. 69.121.200.59 19:30, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

His surgery is listed twice, in two consecutive paragraphs. Any chance that can be cleaned up a little bit? It looks a little sloppy. Kjscotte34 ( talk) 13:05, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
It should be noted that Nady was the last player to date to jump straight to the major leagues, doing so in 2000 (his first minor league time came in 2001, he logged one at bat with the major league Padres in 2000, hitting a single). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.66.240.146 ( talk) 16:07, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
