Talk:Xavier Nady

message: In the top line, his name is listed as Xavier Clifford Nady VI, but his son is Xavier Henry Nady VII.  Wouldn't his son have to have the same middle name to be continued with a number?  Is it Clifford or Henry?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.134.229 (talk) 19:15, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Xavier Nady Middle Name 

message: A song called "The Ballad of X" by a group called "Kuff and the Buttheads" is a tribute to Xavier Nady's short stint with the New York Mets.  For some time a reference to the song existed in the trivia section of Xavier Nady's wikipedia article.  Recently the trivia was deleted because it was deemed irrelevant, and had no pertinence to Xavier Nady's baseball career.  I disagree, and I was told to air my argument on this discussion board.  I would assume that the majority of people reading Xavier Nady's wikipedia entry would be Xavier Nady fans and thus would be delighted to learn that a song about him exists, and can be found on the internet.  Several biographical entries on Wikipedia include references to songs written about the biographical subjects, but for some reason, whether it be the relative unpopularity of the song, this reference was deleted.  Please post to let me know if you agree that at least a reference, and not a link, to the song should exist on Xavier Nady's Wikipedia entry, since the song is a tribute to Xavier and thus holds relevance in relation to his baseball career.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.52.58.130 (talk • contribs) 
:For one this wiki page won't be just for Xavier Nady fans but for anybody looking for information on Xavier Nady/Pittsburgh Pirates. It is because wikipedia is an open and free encyclopedia that a neutral point of view must be adhered to at all times. Bias is for blogs and fan pages. If you are going to post that he has a tribute song then I would highly suggest adding references/citation for this. If it has been removed before it might be because the band is not very notable (doesn't have it's own wikipedia page), can't be verified, or it was posted and did not conform to NPOV. When citing sources please keep in mind that a blog is usually not an acceptable reference. Wikipedia:Citing sources, Wikipedia:Reliable sources, and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons should help you in finding the proper source. Hope this helps. --ImmortalGoddezz 18:02, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My feelings are that the song itself is not particularly relevant to Nady, since there is no evidence to believe that the song is of particular public significance, either to Nady or to the community of baseball fans at large.  Further, Nady's no longer with the Mets and is now with the Pirates, further reducing the significance of the song.  I do not believe that the reference to the song belongs.  --Nlu (talk) 20:25, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If the song has the proper sources, and reliable ones (Not myspace), I don't see what the problem with keeping the references to the song in. This wiki page is about the baseball player Xavier Nady, not just Xavier Nady while he was with the Pittsburgh Pirates. I believe until proper references are found the information should be deleted as per WP:BIO, if proper referencing is found then I don't have a problem with it being in. As the original poster said plenty of other pages have references to songs that were composed for them. See: List of songs about famous people. --ImmortalGoddezz 14:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I took a look at the MySpace page.  The group that created the song is not itself notable.  With that being the case, I think inserting reference to the song basically is vanity and spam.  --Nlu (talk) 16:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

message: This is a dispute as to the inclusion of a song about Xavier Nady on his Wikipedia page
;Statements by editors previously involved in dispute
* Though only appearing in a New York Mets uniform for a brief 75 games, Nady proved popular enough with local fans to inspire a song "Ballad of the X" documenting his short time with the team.Fatthand9 17:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Trade to the Yankees

message: His surgery is listed twice, in two consecutive paragraphs.  Any chance that can be cleaned up a little bit?  It looks a little sloppy.  Kjscotte34 (talk) 13:05, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Surgery 

message: It should be noted that Nady was the last player to date to jump straight to the major leagues, doing so in 2000 (his first minor league time came in 2001, he logged one at bat with the major league Padres in 2000, hitting a single).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.66.240.146 (talk) 16:07, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
