message: This article needs a complete re-work.  I have removed a ton of claims from the article that have no sources.  Before anyone attempts a rewrite I would suggest that you take a look at Wikipedia's guidelines for writing a biography of living persons at WP:BIO.  Unsourced negative information must be removed IMMEDIATELY.  We cannot use blogs and personal websites as sources for such information.  You must use reliable secondary sources to make these claims.

message: This article seems to be stripped of a whole lot of information. Nothing on his relationships, some of his feuds, Erins miscarrage, and other notable things. Its only about early life, Look at You Game Girl, and Chinese Democracy.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.223.107.220 (talk) 18:30, 22 March 2007
:This article was stripped because this is a biography of living person and as such, as editors, we must be held to a higher standard than other articles.  The specific rules you need to read regarding this are found at WP:BLP.  Blogs and personal web pages of fans and fan clubs are not acceptable to be used as sources for an encyclopedia article about a living person.

replies: text: Does someone has plans to rewrite it? It basically reads like a Guns N' Roses article filled only with information about the upcoming (or so they say) album, Chinese Democracy.

message: Trivia section is relevent, and should remain.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pro-trivia (talk • contribs).
:I agree that the information in the trivia section is relevant.  The problem is that encyclopedias do not include "Trivia" sections in their articles.  If the information is important enough to be discussed and it pertains to Axl Rose, then the information ought to be integrated into the article text in appropriate places.  One popular place for many trivia items is "Pop culture references".  A section titled "Trivia" is non-encyclopedic.  Vivaldi (talk) 03:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: i responded on your talk, as you inquired as to why i placed the tag on this page. if the information is relevant, there should not be a problem in the integration. however, if it is interesting (i personally find trivia interesting), but not important, it should go. plz see Wikipedia:Avoid_trivia_sections_in_articles. the_undertow talk 04:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Anagram of "Axl Rose" 

message: There is no need for a third opinion as there is a reliable source which states his correct name. Maurauth, thanks for your edits, but they are incorrect; his name has never been 'Axl Rose'; he was born 'William Rose', grew up as 'William Bailey' and then changed his name to 'W. Axl Rose'. The 'W.' is not an abbreviation, he chose that because he didn't want to share a name with his father and 'Axl' comes from a pre-Guns N' Roses band he was in called 'A.X.L', please understand this and not start an "edit war" like your, and mine, previous edits have created. This is a well-known fact and there is a source in the article for this. Bucketheader 13:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That source is just an article written by a random person, there's no official source to prove that he changed his name to W. Axl Rose. If you wanna show a reference by him, or show a credit to him with it, eg. GnR website / CD. Maurauth 14:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: AllMusicGuide is a reliable wikipedia source. And, i have shown you official Guns N' Roses music videos which show his name as ' W. Axl Rose'.Bucketheader 14:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: this is getting ridiculous here. axl's been w. axl rose for ages... i think there are enough references for that out there. let's look at it this way: if his name's officially axl rose (without the w) get a reference for that... please note: i'm not a g 'n' r fan, or an axl fan or anything of the sort. i just know my history. joseph 17:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I think you'll find many more references calling him 'Axl Rose' than 'W. Axl Rose'. Maurauth 21:40, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

text: What might have happened is that Axl Rose never legally changed his name, but rather, like most Hollywood celebs, just adopted a stage name of "W. Axl Rose" or just "Axl Rose".  There isn't any need for him to actually go through a legal proceeding to make this change.  This is just as John Mellencamp at one time used to call himself John Cougar. Vivaldi (talk) 08:44, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Axl himself stated in a Rolling Stone interview (some years ago now) that his name begins with a W. (as opposed to purely Axl). And then there's also the fact that he signs his name "W. Axl Rose"... Iggy Higgins 11:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

text:  Guys, go to smokinggun.com, and search for Axl Rose. You'll find his arrest records from when he was arrested in Phoenix in '98. All the legal documents refer to him as W. Axl Rose. If he was still Bill Bailey, he wouldn't have been arrested under a stage name. Barrelofagun69 18:45, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

text:   Okay, it looks like the fued about the "W" has been over for a few months, but I still thought I'd add my two cents.  I just went and opened up my Guns N Roses, Appetite for Destruction cassette case, purchased in 1987.  In the credits it reads "W. Axl Rose: all lead vocals, backing vocals, synth and percussion."  I just wanted to reference this as one of the earliest official publications that state his name even though it may no longer be an issue.

message: One quick question. Why are there two citations for the very first word of the article? -Icewedge 05:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Basically because of the debate over Rose's legal name. There's been a lot of back and forth on the issue--some of it is here on this Talk Page a few sections up--with some claiming that his name is only "Axl Rose" because that's how he's usually referenced, and with others saying the W. is "William" (not just on Wiki, either. I once saw an article in the mainstream media about "William Axl Rose"...eek). The references are there basically to assert that his name actually legally is W. Axl Rose and provide proof and backup for it. That's also the reason there's a citation for the birth name in the next line, because it's frequently mistaken to be "Bill Bailey," the name with which he grew up, but was not originally given.

message: Interesting, no mention of the popular (apparent rumour) that he chose the name Axl Rose because it was an anagram of Oral Sex. 
Gemfyre (talk) 15:16, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is already covered in the archives. The reason it's not mentioned is because one, it's not even accurate: his full name is W. Axl Rose, which doesn't work with the anagram. Two, it's already mentioned in the article how he chose his name, we have references for that, and it had nothing to do with the anagram. The 'W. Rose' part is his birth name; the 'Axl' is because he apparently didn't know how to spell 'Axel' correctly (there's an article out there about how he was actually very upset when he realized this). The Oral Sex thing is a popular rumor, but it's never been verified as anything more than that, and all the references we have directly contradict it. A lot of people's names probably turn into amusing anagrams if one puts enough effort into figuring them out, that doesn't mean it belongs in their Wiki bios.

message: The cited source seems a bit ambiguous about his birth name: "I wasn't told I had a real father until I was seventeen. My real father was my stepdad, as far as I knew. But I found some insurance papers, and then I found my mom's diploma, with the last name Rose. So I was never born Bill Bailey. I was born William Rose. I am W. Rose because William was an asshole."  It is hard to tell from this whether he didn't consider himself William Bailey or whether his birth certificate actually said "Rose".  Anyone have a more definitive citation? - TheDaveRoss (talk) 03:07, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fairly clear--he said I was never born Willian Bailey. It's also backed up in the Danny Sugerman book and the GQ article cited in the article that Rose was his birth name. Also, since his mother didn't marry Stephen Bailey until he was about three (which is also mentioned in the RS article) and it's been cited many times that Bailey was his stepfather, there's no logical way he could have been born with the name Bailey or had that on his birth certificate originally.

message: I was just reading the article when I remembered something I've heard years ago. This being the fact that 'Axl Rose' is an anagram of 'Oral Sex'. I highly doubt that this was intentional, but it is fun to point out. I also highly doubt that it would be article worthy, as it could be seen as mean or unnecessary. What I am wondering however is this: "If the name was intentional, and somehow, somebody got a reference that it was true, would it be notable to mention on the article." Now, I haven't read the whole article myself, so I don't know if it might be hinted somewhere there already. All in all, I just want to find an answer to this: "If a reference were found, and held true, that a certain aspect of a person or place were somehow negative, would it be Wikipedia worthy?" I think that, no, it shouldn't be, but I know others who may think the other way. I'm not trying to settle some form of dispute here, as there is none. I merely wish to find the answer from other Wikipedians. Any comment or view would be greatly appreciated.

message: Just noticed that the article as it was contradicted itself on the matter of Axl's birth name. The header paragraph claimed he was born William Bruce Bailey Jr. (the Jr. part didn't even make sense because his step-father was Stephen Bailey, not William) but the first paragraph of the Biography section states that he was born William Bruce Rose. To my knowledge the 2nd version is correct, and the article linked to as a reference in the header actually seems to substantiate this, so I've edited the first paragraph to hopefully clarify the situation, however I'm not entirely sure of the clarity of the wording so if anyone would like to clean it up a little it would be appreciated.

If you believe a quote has been added for no other reason than to add swear words to the article then you could replace it with an alternative that says the same thing but doesn't include swearing. But if you're thinking of anything in the section on One In A Million then you're probably out of luck.

IMO the title for this page should also be 'W. Axl Rose' with 'Axl Rose' redirecting here, since that is his full name by deed poll. I know he's referred to in the media simply as 'Axl Rose' but 'W. Axl Rose' is his full correct name and thus should be put on here. However as the page is semi-protected I cannot do this. 94.194.13.221 (talk) 13:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If the media refers to him as "Axl Rose" then the title is correct (see WP:COMMONNAME). --MarsRover (talk) 20:18, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't even have a band, but I am sure my band is better than yours.  Especially since you dumped Stevey.  Yes I am attempting to create a fued with Axl.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.102.20.3 (talk) 00:59, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Why does it say Axl Rose was born an idiot and mention he's an idiot more than once in this Wikipedia entry?
