Talk:Coach Ernie Pantusso

message: As of this morning, the article lead began with the text "Coach Ernie Pantusso (or Pantuso)...", but did not give any source for the spelling "Pantuso". I removed the unsourced information. Now it has been added back, with references claimed to support it. I will not be edit warring over this spelling, but in fact neither of the provided references gives an acceptable source.
The first is a blog posting by Ken Levine, who worked on Cheers, but the blog posting does not contain the spelling "Pantuso", nor "Pantusso", nor any discussion of the character. One pseudonymous commenter does use the spelling "Pantuso" in an incidental comment, but that is not an acceptable source. The other reference given is to a story from 1992 in the sports section of the Boca Raton News, supported by a link to an image of the newspaper hosted on Google News. I cannot find the word "Pantuso" in the story, in the sports section, or elsewhere in that issue of the newspaper; nor can I find the spelling "Pantusso", nor any discussion of the character. Even if I could, it would also not be an acceptable source, as there is no article in that newspaper specifically discussing the correct spelling of this one fictional character's name.
As I said, I won't be edit warring over this. I have, in fact, already spent more time than is rational examining these sources to see if they discuss the name of a fictional character. However, if the article is going to suggest that the name might be spelled one way, it needs a source (or, preferably, more than one) saying that it is so. It does not have such sources at this time. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 20:20, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The sports column uses "Pantuso". It's hard to look though. Look for "borders on the Adriatic" under the source. I'll replace the blog post soon. --George Ho (talk) 20:47, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Upon further examination, you are correct that the column does say this. That was my mistake. However, it is still not an acceptable source for the assertion that this character is commonly known by that spelling; it's a one-off mention in a sports column. If you replace these sources with others, please don't simply do a Google search for "Coach Pantuso" and paste in anything you find; that is a waste of everyone's time. Instead, please find a source that specifically discusses the spelling of this character's name. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 21:02, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Same goes for sources that use "Pantusso". --George Ho (talk) 21:04, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: The Cult TV reference seems good. The Huffington Post one is debatable. Thank you, though, for actually looking things up. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 21:27, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I don't know why you assume "Pantuso" is an incorrect name. The sources do use "Pantuso", and I don't believe these sources are incorrect. I'm not demanding reinsertion this time for now. I just would like to know why you think the removal helps more. --George Ho (talk) 08:55, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
