Talk:Will Kirby

message: Why is there so much deference being given to what Will Kirby wants or doesn't want?  This is supposed to be a public encyclopedia entry.  Presenting only what Will Kirby wants is just as NPOV as things that people who hate him would want to include.  This article should be objective.  The place for him to present only the information he wants presented should be his personal website, not Wikipedia.68.166.88.10 19:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Quite unlike any other BB USA player, Kirby has been referred to by the media, other contestants, and fans by several nicknames the most famous of which is Dr. Evil.  In BBAS he was also referred to as Dr. Delicious.  Should these aliases not be mentioned? And if not, then why not?  I've seen well known nicknames mentioned or explained in other biographies.

thread_title:  Should references to his other BB aliases be made (aka Dr. Evil, Dr. Delicious, etc)? 

message: Should Kirby's charitable work be included?  He did go to Ecuador on a medical mission and he also regularly donates his time working at medical clinics.  It would seem these should be mentioned. Does anyone know the details on these matters? ItsGottaBeRight 17:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What about his work with Charities and his voluntary medical work? 

message: You can't copyright a word.  Paris Hilton tried to copyright "that's hot" and Trump tried to copyright "you're fired", and they got turned down flat.  You can trademark a word - Pat Reilly trademarked "Threepeat" when used on clothing and other memorabilia, but he can't stop people from using the word, nor can Will Kirby stop people from using the word "showmance" (as can be proven by Big Brother 8's use of the word this season).

thread_title: "Showmance"

message: Well, I came back to find the article once again full of what I would euphemistically describe as promotional stuff, which I feel serves to flatter the ego of Will Kirby. The businesses he is merely invested in merely advertised for him, again without bringing any encyclopaedic value: if he is the principal, then fine within limits, but to list every business he's invested in is pretty indiscriminate - imagine listing in Warren Buffet's biography every share he holds! There were of course weasel words, like "considered an authority on xyz", which I have now also removed. The TV.com link is an open wiki, which fails WP:RS. 
I'm beginning to suspect that there may be some conflict of interest editing here: the Dr Tatoff logo, which I removed from the page, carried a rationale of "To show the logo of a company owned by Will Kirby to improve its brand recognition". Incidentally, it was also of a considerably higher resolution than any which I could find on the Dr Tat webpage. Has anyone perchance noticed the similarity between the Early life section and the biography on his personal website? I have for the moment refrained from deleting it per WP:COPY, in the hope that someone will re-write it.
All this, and I haven't even touched any of the big brother stuff! but don't worry, I'll leave that for another day ;-) Ohconfucius 06:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup of 25 October

message: In August 2019, Kirby sought a restraining order against Malin over multiple threats made towards him and his family. This is a huge matter and should be included in the article.
