A news item involving Jerry Doyle was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the In the news section on 28 July 2016.

Wikipedia

Error in fact

A sentence mistakenly stated that Doyle was not in the concluding episode of the Babylon 5 series. Michael Garibaldi was, indeed, in that episode. (Episode 110 - Sleeping in Light) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.176.70.38 (talk) 02:41, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

POV issue

Removed the following as political pandering does not belong on wikipedia

"Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi has said the entire Republican Party suffers from what she calls the "culture of corruption." Download this letter and send it to her as we have done on The Jerry Doyle Show asking her to swear that she does not have a single bad ethical mark on her record." ^[1]

First, please sign your comments! It takes just four tildes, i.e. the ~ key to the immediate left of the 1 key, to record your username and a time stamp.

One could look your identity up on the history page, but one shouldn't have to.

Second, while I agree that the statement's not appropriate for an encyclopedia article as written,, I don't think this can be described as "political pandering", it's POV. If it were a direct quote from Doyle--to illustrate his political view points--then I think it would be acceptable.

Now he's libertarian? Is conservative a four-letter word these days?72.78.154.17 (talk) 22:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doyle on President Carter

On 20 Jan 2010 a segment of Doyle's show featured Joseph Farah, the founder of WorldNetDaily. At one point Doyle mentioned that this was the 30th anniversary of the release of the U.S. hostages and boasted that this had occurred as soon as Reagan had been inaugurated. Doyle and Farah proceeded to berate President Jimmy Carter for having been a weak President. They boasted at length about the supposedly strong President Reagan, whose potential retaliatory actions supposedly scared the Iranians into releasing the hostages. Neither mentioned that the Teheran embassy had been occupied by university students, that Reagan had nothing to do with their release, and that there are lingering questions about Reagan-Bush delaying their release for their perverse political advantage. Moreover, Doyle and Farah conveniently ignored that, under Reagan, more than 60 people were killed when the U.S. embassy in Beirut was bombed on 18 April 1983. Subsequently, 241 American servicemen were killed in the 23 October 1983 Beirut barracks bombing. In addition, during the Lebanon hostage crisis many American and western hostages were taken, some of whom were murdered. Italus (talk) 23:46, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What's the point? This isn't mentioned in the article. Perhaps it was in January but it no longer is/was. This isn't the Jerry Doyle bulletin board to discuss the show.Woods01 (talk) 03:57, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB

Im a little confused here. Wikipedia probably exists with 10-15% of it's content focused soley on careers of one hit wonder television personalities. Every joe that makes it on a reality show basically has his own wikipedia page, some rather detailed.

I've never seen IMDB seen as an untrustworthy reference in the past especially since Wikipedia permits self-references in the event the object has a website.

Is there any special reason this was applied to the Jerry Doyle page?Woods01 (talk) 03:53, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate I'm responding six years to the day after you posed your question, but in the time between then and now, IMDB is certainly not considered to be a reliable source. But it is perfectly acceptable as an external link. Miyagawa (talk) 08:59, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Politics

Yes, I know, living (US) persons biography, libel danger, yadda yadda yadda, but even for a living persons biography, it is just too little to just list that he was a House of Representatives nominee for the Republican party (was he a straw candidate against someone with a comfortable majority, or had he real chances of winning?) and later severed his ties with the party. He is a political commentator, for god's sake! He must express a political viewpoint that helps putting him into a coordinate grid about his views. Other people surely will comment on his conservative comments. He must have taken stances in political issues normally associated with conservative or republican political denominations. For Christ's sake, the article de:Mike Huckabee gives more infos on a (in Germany) totally unknown politician than this article about an US-American publicist!

(If you want me to Be bold, please sponsor me a VHF-DX-receiver set and an extra sensitive directional antenna so I can receive his broadcasts here in the FRG.) --84.165.58.103 (talk) 17:39, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jerry Doyle (radio host) → Jerry Doyle – This Jerry Doyle is a relatively well-known nationally syndicated radio host in the United States. The only other use of "Jerry Doyle" in Wikipedia is Jerry Doyle (Alberta politician), a relatively obscure provincial politician who served one four-year term in Alberta 1989-1993. There is also a Gerry Doyle. In terms of page view counts, the three articles were viewed 3,159 times, 170 times and 258 times respectively in November of this year... this use is clearly the primary topic. Delete the dab page currently at Jerry Doyle and create hat note links from this article to the other two. Born2cycle (talk) 04:26, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Googling "Jerry Doyle" -wikipedia suggests that the radio host edges out the sadly neglected Babylon 5 actor, who currently lacks a wikipage to call his own. Kauffner (talk) 08:36, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- LOL... read the article... the Babylon 5 actor is the same Jerry Doyle as this radio host! --Born2cycle (talk) 08:38, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ok. But is he gonna be in Babylon 6? <-: Kauffner (talk) 09:54, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
