Talk:Julius Jones (American football)

message: This article needs major work.  I have fixed the obvious copyright violation, dead image link, and NPOV issues, but I don't know enough about American football to fix the rest.
To fix these problems, I reverted pretty far back, so the article is once again a stub.  I was bold...hopefully, not too bold. :/ --Takeel 21:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

message: There should be a citation for the statement that his goal is to play in 16 games. It sounds like that was the opinion of the writer. Yeti man5
:* At the least - there should be.  Ideally though - i think it should be expunged.  It drifts towards crystal balling and i just don't see how it enhances the article.  By contrast - I'm not sure anyone would say "I hope to play in as few games as possible." Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  20:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Is this the same former athlete Julius Jones who has been on death row for 20 years? John Moser (talk) 01:43, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it normal that someone sentenced to death in 2002 who was on death row until very recently and I think possibly in detention of some form since 1999 when they 19, can play in the NFL from 2004 to 2010? Isn't that something of more concern than someone allegedly "doesn't want the truth out there"? Nil Einne (talk) 07:27, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: move. There was overwhelming consensus for this move, and, given the topic nature of the story regarding the other Julius Jones, I don't think it is a good idea to drag the final outcome out.  -- tariqabjotu 18:49, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Most definitely it was people thinking this Julius Jones was Julius Darius Jones. Between June and December people on this talk page were commenting this as seen here:  as well as numerous edits made to the page making the same mistakes: , . This is something that should have been addressed a long time ago. Inexpiable (talk) 08:38, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The 44K views are people mistaking him for Julius Darius Jones, whose case has received world wide attention since 2018. Please look properly into the case before making a rash decision that is already causing a serious BLP concern. Inexpiable (talk) 07:56, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

text:  When you look at the year's pagestats  it's fairly obvious that people are looking for the person on death row.  Well, unless a minor footballer who retired 11 years ago suddenly found themselves on the front pages of the news ... Black Kite (talk) 12:22, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Reasonable point; that didn't occur to me. Seems to match up with the Google Trends , which has spikes in search interest. I'd say the spikes suggest a popularity thing (news cycles due to a certain change in the situation) rather than long-lasting notability though, but it seems fair to say there is no primary topic here.

text: Nothing to do with recentism his case has been in the news since 2018, it's just picking up a little more attention now due to the upcoming execution. All the page views on this page are people mistaking this person as the clearly more notable Julius Jones which is Julius Darius Jones. I would love to know what the page views were for this person back in 2016-2017, I'm willing to bet very little. He may have been the primary topic 10 years ago but most definitely not now. It is also a serious BLP concern to not address this. Inexpiable (talk) 07:59, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: He’s apparently the primary topic but didn’t even have an article until this week? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 08:54, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The article should have been made years ago, the fact it was only recently made is irrelevant, it is unfortunately a sign of the lack of article creation on Wikipedia these days. I'm done talking about this it is a BLP violation and should be changed, simple as. The vast majority agree. If you are not willing to even bother to look into the case history as well as the evidence and see the issue then you should not comment on the case. Inexpiable (talk) 09:21, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: What 'case history and evidence' are you referring to? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 09:51, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: He was sentenced 20 years ago. If that is not 'case history and evidence', I don't know what is. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 20:17, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
