thread_title: SERIOUSLY

message: I think that someone should have his RAW time listed as 2008-2009 and then include in the biography all that happened since his return to RAW in 2008 until his departure from RAW in 2009. Then have an ECW section from 2009- where they include all that's happened on his time on ECW until whenever. I think that'd be better to keep things more organized since it looks like he'll be on ECW for a long while and quite possibly the rest of his career.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.59.3.5 (talk) 00:21, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've merged the sections back together. Neither is long enough to stand on it's own, so there's no problem listing it under the "Return to WWE" header. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 22:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Can someone please separate his RAW/ECW section?

message: Someone removed the list of all of his themes completely which was accurate, the ones I remember are from WWE which are: 
"Gold-Lust" by Jim Johnston
"Gold-Lust" Remix using distortion techniques by Jim Johnston (used when he was The Artist Formerly known as Goldust)

replies: text: According to WP:PW/SG, only themes with reliable sources can be listed. This is to prevent fan-made and inaccurate names. Nikki♥311  04:39, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

text: I converted them to basic references for now. Don't have time right now to format them all, so I'll get to that another day if no one else beats me to it. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 04:17, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Theme Issue 

message: I am feedup having to save his page and re-edit stuff! People keep erasing "The Final Cut" as his finisher and/or changing what the move really is, which is a suplex into whiplash OR they call it "The Director's Cut" which it is NOT. 
Also, they keep erasing details of the Sheamus feud which SHOULD be listed or at least be mentioned. I came on here and found that all mention of the feud was erased!
And finally, I keep bolding "The Lonestar" and adding WWE as using it as a nickname because Matt Striker constantly refers to Goldust on a weekly basis as THE LONESTAR! 
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP RUINING HIS PAGE AND EDITING IT WHEN ALL THE CHANGES I MADE ARE PERFECT!?
190.59.29.87 (talk) 06:16, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you provide a reliable source for the move name "The Final Cut" and what the move is, then that would solve that problem. Was the Sheamus feud week by week or was it notable to his overall career? Just because something happened recently, doesn't mean it is important. Nikki♥311  04:46, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I added a source for Final Cut awhile back and neglected to reply here. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 04:47, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep. Just saw that (and that this comment was from a month ago!). Nikki♥311  04:51, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

text: Maybe you should read WP:OWN. People are allowed to freely edit the article (as long as they follow policy and guidelines). This article is far from perfect. If it were perfect...it would be Featured. Nikki♥311  02:58, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  SOMEONE STOP THE EDITING 

message: I've cleaned up Goldust's page a bit by adding references for everything from his return to WWE in 2008, his themes and his finishers. Anyone else want to help by getting some more references for other periods of his career like in Japan? We're trying to make his page perfect! Please help me!190.59.9.44 (talk) 21:33, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  More References Needed 

message: I just want to let you guys know that I requested an article reassessment for Goldust's article, hopefully they'll consider it a "B" Level article. Let's try and improve it guys, I've worked very hard on this article!190.59.25.219 (talk) 01:20, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It isn't quite a B yet for Project Wrestling. To be a B article for that project, the article has to be fully sourced, and there are still entire sections without a single reference. It is much better, so great job. Nikki♥311  23:49, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reassessment Requested! 

message: I went to the Million Dollar Championship discussion page and asked if Goldust should be added to the list of champions and with the talking about it, came to the conclusion that just because Goldust stole the Million Dollar Championship from Ted DiBiase, Jr., it doesn't mean that he won the Million Dollar Championship.  With that being said, why is Goldust credited with winning the Million Dollar Championship one time?  I will go ahead and delete that entry and if anyone thinks that the entry should be on Goldust's wikipedia page, let's discuss it on this discussion page and if the majority of the people say the entry should be on Goldust's wikipedia page, let's add the entry to Goldust's wikipedia page and then update the Million Dollar Championship page to reflect from when Goldust stole the Million Dollar Championship from Ted DiBiase, Jr. to present.

thread_title:  Goldust the Million Doollar Champion, Really? 

message: I've just removed a paragraph which used Yahoo Answers (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! see WP:RELIABLE) as a source for claiming GTV was named after Goldust. Now, I have in my possession an audio interview with Vince Russo in which Russo states "GTV" was originally named for Tom Green but the association was dropped when Vince McMahon was reluctant to hire Green and the GTV name was left ambiguous. Unfortunately I cannot find a reliable citation to demonstate the truth (or otherwise) of this, but until such time as a good source is found on the subject of GTV, I suggest mentions of it remain excluded from the article. This is a WP:BLP, after all. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 17:27, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The initial GTV segment was actually called GDTV, which lends credence to it being for GolDust and not Tom Green.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.226.125.188 (talk) 01:59, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
*Oppose - Well over a decade in the world's biggest promotion as Goldust, including the Attitude Era, one of the sport's historical boom periods. In addition, his ring name in AJPW (another of the biggest promotions in the world) was Gold Dustin, a play on this name. This tops a short stint in WCW and his current role in a fledgling promotion as Dustin Rhodes. He may be doing well in AEW, but he's 50 now, and his fame was established as Goldust.

replies: text: Goldust →  – Per WP:NAMECHANGES his current ring name is "Dustin Rhodes" and is no longer using "Goldust". He is a prominent wrestler in All Elite Wrestling, consistently appearing and wrestling, even main eventing, in front of millions on AEW Dark, AEW Dynamite, television special episodes, and PPVs. Goldust was just a character he portrayed and was still referred to as Dustin at times across several of his characters. Dustin Rhodes is likely the WP:COMMONNAME widely known as a part of the Rhodes Family or even as Dusty's son Dustin, dating back to before Goldust. Dustin Rhodes is prevalent in today's sources and was used in several of his runs in the independents, NJPW, WCW, WWF/E, TNA, NWA, most recently AEW, while Goldust, which WWE owns, was only part of WWE. - Originalchampion (talk) 20:56, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
