message: This article should be moved to Glenn Jacobs, as he is now a mayor and that is his primary occupation. David O. Johnson (talk) 04:22, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Antonio Inoki and :Jesse Ventura both used their professional names when going into politics, unlike Kane/Glen Jacobs. The Rock's article actually uses his birth name, :Dwayne Johnson, as this is how he is best known to the world. And :Hulk Hogan and :Roddy Piper have never achieved (or attempted to achieve) notability under their birth names so naturally their articles are not titled "Terry Gene Bollea" and "Roderick Toombs". :WP:COMMONNAME absolutely applies though, Glen Jacobs has had an international television career as Kane.

message: Is there by any chance if someone can remove "semi-retired"? Because I looked some info and it has no info about him conforming his retirement from wrestling, he was only taken out of action due to an injury and he is still active in wrestling. 2600:1000:B03A:6169:1138:FA07:1E73:F32C (talk) 05:15, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

text:   After Wrestlemania 34, same issue were happened at the article The Undertaker regarding retired or semi retired issue, which was resolved by User:Broken nutshell laterly. As Broken was blocked indefinitely per SPI case at 14th August 2018 so he is unable to join here, well this is not about who is blocked who is free, issue is about the elimination of the term Retired or Semi-Retired. 103.18.20.255 (talk) 14:29, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

message: *Oppose - Considering nothing has changed since this was discussed a few months ago, the same applies. His WP:COMMONNAME is still Kane.  really needs a good WP:TROUT. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 11:58, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: First, your statments is pointless. As the nominator, it's obvious you support the change. Second, it's fake, Jacobs used the stage name of Kane for 20 years, it's best known as Kane, until his election he was barely known as Glenn Jacobs, just like the rest of the wrestlers like Mark Callaway, Terry Bollea or Steven Borden. Also, it's the same discussion we had a few months ago with the same arguments and the (wrestler), (politician) was already discussed. it's pointless to start again, waht do you expect? Kill us by boring? It's the same case as Edge, his main work NOW is acting as Adam Copeland, but his most notable work it's as Edge and the article name has to reflect his whole career, no just the last few months. Again, COMMONNAME applies and he worked for 20 years as Kane. Maybe if he is elected President of the United States, I would undertsand, but not as Mayor and a so well known pro wrestling career. Imagine Sting, the musician, becomes Mayor. Would it make sense to change the article to Gordon Sumner? --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 20:05, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

message: I've removed the claim that Kane is billed from "Parts Unknown". This is a claim that has been added and readded to the article many times over the years, but has never been properly sourced. Without wanting to be unreasonable, this claim is controversial and needs a robust source. 
The sources provided are not credible. One is clearly copied from Wikipedia and another is a fantasy booking page. Additionally, the sources are not substantiated by official sources. Four extracts from the WWE website, none of them referencing "Parts Unknown": Kane's bio in 1999, Kane's bio in 2005, Kane's bio in 2013, Kane's bio now
Additionally, the text as presented suggests that Kane has regularly been billed from Parts Unknown. This is clearly not the case, so quoting this info is WP:UNDUE.
If this information is to be re-added, please specify a date on which Kane was billed from "Parts Unknown" so this can be independently verified.

replies: text: Late to the party, but can you reference a YouTube video of he himself claiming this? He was on The Weakest Link in 2002 and says he is from "Parts Unknown". Brian (talk) 17:33, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't consider that evidence of him being billed from "Parts Unknown". It'd also be giving undue weight to a throwaway remark. McPhail (talk) 20:29, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: 1, 2, 3 In all honesty, he was never billed from anywhere, except in all the WWE video games. Also, the reference to being billed from Decatur as Isaac Yankem points to a book site for Mankind. Do I have to buy the book to see the reference? Brian (talk) 23:18, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

message: Recommend ADDING to end of Professional wrestling career section - specifically, immediately after "On November 22, 2020 he made an appearance at Survivor Series during The Undertaker's retirement ceremony" - adding:
On Jan. 31, 2021, Kane was an unannounced entrant at the 2021 Royal Rumble (link to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_(2021)), where he entered at #18. He eliminated two participants - Dolph Ziggler and Ricochet - before being eliminated by Damian Priest at the 1:51 mark. KyleNiemi (talk) 15:21, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

message: In "Sporadic Appearances" section, 
CHANGE: "He appeared as an entrant in the 2021 Royal Rumble for a record eighteenth time, eliminating Dolph Ziggler and Ricochet before being eliminated by Damian Priest."
TO: "He appeared as a surprise entrant in the 2021 Royal Rumble, eliminating Dolph Ziggler and Ricochet before being eliminated by Damian Priest."
(NOTE: He entered AT #18. It was not his 18th appearance.) KyleNiemi (talk) 13:12, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Done There's probably a better way to write that as it was supposedly his 20th appearance which is a record. But there's nothing wrong with the proposed wording either. —KuyaBriBriTalk 20:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

message: Kane did not announce his retirement at the Hall of Fame so it's too soon to jump to the conclusion that he is retired. Goldberg for example continued to wrestle after his HOF Induction so its best to keep Kane as an active wrestler until he officially announces his retirement. 86.152.210.110 (talk) 19:16, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
