This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

I've opened a discussion about the age content dispute on the talkpage. Cheers,

Read the section! One person decided it should be there. it was very non-neutral and even wrong. It shouldn't be there at all!Georgeivs vid (talk) 03:13, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are incorrect. Please read Talk:Bill Cosby/Archive 2. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 03:17, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That shows that people are sharply divided that anything should be included at all and likely it's still too soon as these all remain accusations. I think it's time to look at IF anything should be included at all, and how to word it NEUTRALLY. By the time you include that he has never been charged or convicted and denies all the accusations it seems to overshadow many much more important aspects of his life, or is that the point? Georgeivs vid (talk) 03:30, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The lead summarizes the body. The allegations are an important part of the body. It has been suggested a number of times to you to propose your wording changes on the talk page. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 03:40, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have done so. And that lead does a very poor job of summarizing his lengthy career and accomplishments and tries very hard to hang the "RAPIST" sign around his neck. Georgeivs vid (talk) 04:24, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please stop reverting his birthdate? Why exactly are you doubting it? We all know he is 29, every news source who has interviewed him after his win has stated that. Plus, we know he couldn't be any older than 28 when he auditioned in September 2014 because 28 is the age cutoff to audition for American Idol. And if it's the month and day that you're unsure about...you can go on Twitter and scroll back through his tweets and find multiple people (including his sister) wishing him a happy birthday - ALL of these tweets are on November 15th. November 15, 1985 is clearly his birthdate and as others have told you I think you're edit warring at this point by continuously reverting anyone who adds it. MusicLover (talk) 07:07, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We need a reliable source for his birthday. He could even say Today ___ is my birthday. But until we have that it is pure speculation and journalists not doing a good job. I will continue to remove poorly sourced, or unsourced content. Georgeivs vid (talk) 20:02, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And yet his birthdate is the only thing you're complaining about not being sourced. There are much more important things in the article that you could worry about being sourced that are not. Why is there no source for his full name then? His article is far from good article status, so it's really not a necessary to be so picky about sourcing every little thing at the moment. No, it is not speculation. I think his sister would know his birthday. I think the multiple news sources who have listed him as being 29 would know they're talking about too. You can continue to do so but you will eventually be warned for it because it constitutes as edit warring after a certain point. MusicLover (talk) 00:45, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Those are great arguments to remove anything that is not sourced well. I'm not that worried about his name but if you feel strongly about it then you can remove it. We should insist on reliable sources for everything, that's a core pillar. Georgeivs vid (talk) 02:50, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I noticed that you had some comments on the Bill Cosby talk page and was hoping you could help us resolve an issue. Please see the section titled "Discussion: Should the lead sentence mention the sexual assault accusations?". Thanks! Hamsterlopithecus (talk) 04:03, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This thread is forum shopping and IDHT behavior. Hamster totally reordered talk page sections, placing them in opposite order and thus changing the meaning and progression. They also changed headings made by others, and also created an improperly formed RfC to hijack the discussion. All is now restored. We had a consensus until this disruption occurred. This is massive IDHT behavior, and this thread should be closed. Such behavior should not be rewarded. Hamster should be blocked for this. -- {{u|
