CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THE SPELLING OF THIS GUY'S NAME? YOU HAVE BOTH "EVEL" AND "EVIL". ==AfD Discussion== Hang on... we should discuss the merits here. Why delete a talk page? Juppiter 02:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think this should be its own article... every winner has had their own article. I'm not prepared to get into a revert war over it though, so let me just register my opinion that it should be. Not gonna be provoked/get personal over this. Juppiter 02:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said. He does not meet the requirements of WP:BIO, also see WP:WAX. We are working on deleting the others for the same reasons. This is an encyclopedia, not a fan site. Thanks. - Jeeny ^Talk 02:44, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK.... I don't see why a discussion page needs to be deleted though? Perhaps others agree with me. Like I said I'm not gonna do a revert war with you but I think it at least merits discussion. Juppiter 02:50, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discuss it on the Talk:Big Brother 8 (US) page. Like I said he does not meet WP:BIO, and also see WP:WAX - Jeeny ^Talk 02:56, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WAX is not policy. That whole page is a bunch of opinions. Citing the "Arguments to avoid during deletion discussions" page is itself something to avoid during discussions. Wryspy 09:18, 20 September 2007 (UTC); clarified 22:01, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Live in Ireland?

Is there a source to verify his residence in Ireland? If not, this info and category should be removed from the article. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:48, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"People name drop his name" ? LOL

quoting some obscure band member who can't even cite just which celebrities have name dropped Dick Donato's name yet it's part of this article? --173.60.51.236 (talk) 02:41, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question on oldest winner

Now that Marissa Jaret Winokur has won Celebrity Big Brother (and at age 45), does that make her the oldest winner overall and Evel Dick the oldest civilian winner, or does WP treat these two as separate series, meaning Evel Dick is still the oldest winner of the BBUS series? I was going to make an edit, but realized that might not be a solid consensus. So, what do you all think? JaxisMaximus (talk) 04:24, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
