# Talk:Ken Anderson (wrestler)

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/59292-mr-kennedy-release-rumors --Falegas (talk) 13:08, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Dude, did you even see the date on that article...like what, September '08? Anyway, now that his return is just 'round the corner anyway, it's not likely. --Kaizer13 (talk) 15:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Oh right. My bad.--Falegas (talk) 16:15, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Heh, I guess I jinxed it. That or the famous Bob Holly curse. --Kaizer13 (talk) 00:46, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

His Page name link needs changing from Mr. Kennedy to Ken Anderson as he no longer uses or has license to the "Ken Kennedy" or "Mr Kennedy" trademarks, so technically cannot be referred to as this previous name(s).  91.107.179.134 (talk) 02:23, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia article are named by their most commons names. See WP:COMMONNAME for more information. In addition, the page Ken Anderson already exists, so the article cannot be renamed to Ken Anderson. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 02:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
In that case 90% of wrestlers pages need to be redone. For example, Christian is under the name Jason Reso, Edge is under Adam Copeland.
In addition, his Mr Kennedy name is no longer in use as it was trademarked by WWE and he now performs under Mr. Anderson as can be seen here:
http://www.hulkamania.com.au/bios.html  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.31.253 (talk) 11:53, 1 October 2009 (UTC) 
But he is NOT Mr. Kennedy, the WWE would say he is Ken Anderson playing the ROLE of Mr. Kennedy. It's entertainment, like a movie, a stage name. It would be like having Sacha Baron Cohen's be the name Borat or Brüno, it's a role he played. But he is Sacha Baron Cohen, and he is Ken Anderson. Yes? No? Comment?!
I've always thought it would make a lot more sense to list the pro wrestlers' pages under the person't real name, with '(wrestling)' (or somesuch) as a qualifier if necessary, and redirect their stage name(s) to that page.  I mean, they are actors, after all.  We should really do that here. Petronivs (talk) 18:15, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Hes not known as Mr. Kennedy anymore.  Hes in TNA now, give the man some respect.  It's: MIIISTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER ANDERSON!....... Anderson!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.180.159.1 (talk) 21:18, 2 April 2010 (UTC) 

I edited it because he did the move on TNA but missed it. The Match between him and Jarret  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.7.225.159 (talk) 13:31, 6 February 2010 (UTC) 

I propose changing article's name to Ken Anderson. It is his real name and it his the name under which he has performed in 1999-2005 and since 2009. Considering TNA is a major promotion you can't say he is more famous as Mr. Kennedy. Do you agree? AndreaFox2 (talk) 19:18, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
As no one objected my proposal i'll change the page name to "Mr.Anderson", a name suggested above by other users. AndreaFox2 (talk) 17:30, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
i also think that the page should change the name to Mr.Anderson--85.167.194.251 (talk) 13:01, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
I agree, TNA is as prominent as the WWE in the wrestling world, and Anderson is currently wrestling in that promotion as Mr Anderson. As such i believe this to be the most relevant title to the page. Tory88 (talk) 19:58, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
I agree with all of the above. カンチョーSennen Goroshi ! 또라이  (talk) 18:05, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
I was shocked it was still listed as Mr. Kennedy, yeah change it already. lol--Dr. Pizza (talk) 02:42, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Indeed, it only makes sense at this point that the article be changed to "Ken Anderson". He's been pushed extremely heavily on TNA now under the Mr. Anderson name, to the point where he's even competing in a TNA Championship match at their largest pay-per-view of the year. Ken Anderson, being his real name, covers the ground of his career in both companies, and at this point he's arguably more thought of by the "Mr. Anderson" name than his previous. --Josh (talk) 18:49, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Upon further inspection, the "Kenneth Anderson" page that "Ken Anderson" redirects to links to several other notable persons with the real name Ken(neth) Anderson, whereas the "Mr. Anderson" article mentions only Neo from the Matrix, (who people will look for under the name Neo,) and a character from Beavis and Butthead not notable enough for his own article. Therefore, in the context of Wikipedia, "Mr. Anderson" is the most appropriate option to list him under. --Josh (talk) 18:58, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
I've reverted. I don't care if you move the article, but copy-and-paste moves are not aceeptable, as it splits the page history which is required for attribution. Either use the 'move' tab at the top of the article, or file a requested move. Also please do not just overwrite a disambiguation page. In this case, the correct place to which to move the article would be Mr. Anderson (wrestler). ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 05:59, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
I don't see the 'move' tab at the top of this article. AndreaFox2 (talk) 17:16, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
I'm assuming you're using the vector skin. Alright, beside the star (meaning watch/unwatch) at the top right of the screen, there's a arrow pointing down. If you move your mouse over that you get a dropdown menu, which includes a link entitled 'move'. You use that to move articles. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 08:21, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

I have believe that Ken Anderson is slated to be on the new season of Family Feud with some of the TNA stars and knockouts. This would be his second apperance on the show since he did one with the WWE and if you want proof take a look here: http://www.tnawrestling.com/news/item/2228-TNA-Week-On-TV-s-Family-Feud-Nov-1-5 Misslindsie (talk) 07:43, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

76.226.214.43 (talk) 09:57, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Please make a proper move request to open a discussion if you believe a change is necessary.  ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ②  19:35, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

It's not really a heel turn is it? He faked the heel move, then Mic checked some of Immortal. He's just more a tweener IMO, don't you agree? The Madras (talk) 19:12, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

This is exactly the reason I've been opposed to stating face / heel at any point in ANY wrestling related article. It inherently is a violation WP:NPOV no matter HOW you try to look at it as someone's always going to have a different perspective. One man's villian is another man's hero.  ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ②  23:18, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Says at the bottom that he's Catholic, but nowhere does it include that in the main article. Sources would also be nice.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.65.75.254 (talk) 17:57, 10 July 2011 (UTC) 

article should be named mr.anderson as thats how he is known today in TNA or all over the world,mr.kennedy was his wwe name.116.74.75.201 (talk) 07:27, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

### Ken Anderson (wrestler)
Article (edit | visual edit | history) ·  Article talk (edit | history) ·  Watch • Watch article reassessment page • Most recent review
 Result: Kept Agreement that it should be kept AIRcorn (talk) 01:29, 23 August 2020 (UTC).
The article has several problems. One, has huge parts unsourced, like both Independent Circuit section or the TNA final feuds. Some titles are unsourced to. Needs an uptade about his NWA work. Also, the prose can be improved, it's like "on Day 1, he had a match. On day 2, he had a match." Lead can be improved. No mention of his work as box announcer. Missing style and persona(not obligatory, buy helpful) Also, minor In-Universe problems ("he put Shaw into a van heading for a psychiatric facility for intervention.") --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 12:28, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

I copyedited the WWE section, the rest still needs to be done. JTP (talk • contribs) 03:49, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
I think I got everything now, let me know what you think. JTP (talk • contribs) 19:32, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
The article has improved a lot. The main issue, unsourced sections, are sources. Just one tiny thing, Online World of Wrestling isn't reliable. Maybe, prose sections can be improved, TNA section has a lot of weekly details and some "in-universe", like the sam shaw storyline. But I think just the change of OWOW source would be enough. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 22:01, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Also, I think the missing Professional wrestling style and persona would be very helpful. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 22:44, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Well, after some days working on the article, I think meets GA criteria again. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 16:24, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
Keep - All, I've had a quick read of the post-2008 content (which was added after the GA review), and made a couple of copyedits. Sourcing is sufficient, although a source is needed about his video game character. The prose is adequate, but could do with more tweaking to be encyclopaedic. As it stands, however, I think this can stay as a GA. L150 19:48, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
