Talk:Gallagher (comedian)

message: This is the most ridiculous vote for speedy deletion I've ever come across. Do whatever you like, I'm not going to argue with narrow-minded and stubborn people. <KF> 00:56, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)
Below, from User talk:Radiojon
I think you have caused some confusion by voting for the deletion of the Gallagher page (a disambiguation page). The reason you give ("+, to move comedian back here") is something I do not understand: Do you believe Gallagher (US comedian), hardly known outside the U.S., is the only Gallagher?
The page was actually deleted, and then there was a red link even on Wikipedia:Links to disambiguating pages. I have just created a redirect; please do not move it around again. All the best, <KF> 17:39, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)
:The only person (or other thing) known by only "Gallagher" (a stage name) is comedian Leo Anthony Gallagher.  Quoting from Wikipedia: Disambiguation: Disambiguation pages are not search indices -- do not add links that merely contain part of the page title where there is no significant risk of confusion.  The page at Gallagher (disambiguation) shouldn't exist at all, because it is simply a search index, and certainly shouldn't be in place of the article at Gallagher.    Also, it is a moot point that he is from the U.S. or anywhere else for that matter, he is still the only thing called just "Gallagher".  Others only have Gallagher as part of the name, and therefore (per Wikipedia policy) don't get disambiguated.    –radiojon 22:55, 2004 Oct 2 (UTC)
::He is not the only thing called just Gallagher. (And he is not "thing" either.) There was at least one man known as "simply Gallagher" before. And also there are several setllements named "Gallagher". And unlike "things" that tend to  remain uniquely named, I am pretty sure that "the current" Gallagher will be safely forgotten (as the previous one), and it is quite possible another one will pop out.

replies: text: Also, it came upon me to run search for "the Gallagher", and it turns out there are scores of things, such as "Gallagher House", "Gallagher Library", "Gallagher Army", Gallagher Laboratory. Hence there are scores of other persons who under some circumstances are known by the single name. One might wonder: "Who the heck this Gallagher is?", only to find out from wikipedia that this must be this clown. Mikkalai 03:13, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: There was radio profile on Gallagher several months ago.  I believe it was on Sirius and included sound clips.  The biography referred to two events I didn't see listed in this Wiki bio:
# Another lawsuit, involving Gallagher Too and a Sledge-O-Matic accident.
# Controversy over an (un)intentional slip in the use of the word "fag" in "flag burning" that brought on picketing and protests. Memobug 21:05, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Other Content?

message: Why is this article listed as "Leo Gallagher" and not "Gallagher" (with the appropriate disambig term)?  He is far better known under the single name than under his full name, to the extent that I, for one, hadn't even known his full name until I looked at the Wikipedia page.  Seeing "Leo Gallagher" linked from another page, it's not even initially clear who it's referring to.  My assumption is that this has something to do with the disambiguation controversy discussed at the top of this page, but what was wrong with "Gallagher (comedian)" or "Gallagher (US comedian)"?

message: I remember hearing once that Gallagher was very wealthy because he owns/owned the rights to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Anyone know of this?

thread_title: Invented The Ninja Turtles?

message: As is documented in this article from The Stranger, Gallagher has taken to making numerous negative comments about gay people, asians, mexicans, feminists, liberals etc. in his routine. Given the overwhelmingly pro-Gallagher slant of the article, I feel that this is information that needs to be included. 70.57.228.212 (talk) 10:04, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Lindy West humor piece from The Stranger is a questionable citation, no? The current edit is poorly written and inappropriately labels him as a Christian Conservative. --198.6.95.95 (talk) 21:32, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Bigoted Comments

message: I vaguely remember that back in the late 1980s or early 1990s, Gallagher appeared in a series of print advertisements for a computer company or software company. I remember him dressed in Renaissance costume, driving his tricycle. I would add this to his Wikipedia page but without more details it would not be helpful. Does anyone else remember the ads in question? Felicity4711 (talk) 09:17, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

message: As evidenced by the comments on this article, many people wish Gallagher had died of his heart attack, making my edit "it was determined that he had suffered a minor heart attack, much to the dismay of many who had hoped for a fatal heart attack" a valid addition to this page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.197.127.223 (talk) 13:04, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Nope, this is a BLP, and the queerty article is borderline gossip and clearly an opinion piece, which makes no mention of hist heart attack, so the source does not support the statement, and the statement violates BLP and NPOV. --Nuujinn (talk) 16:48, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Slot Machine 

message: Hi, just wanted to point out that citation number 5, in the "Conflict with brothers act" section, does not reference all of the text that precedes it. "The courts ultimately sided with Leo Gallagher, and an injunction was granted prohibiting Ron from performing any act that impersonates his brother in small clubs and venues. This injunction also prohibited Ron from intentionally bearing likeness to his brother.[5]". I read the source material (yea it's one of those days...) and while it does mention that Leo Gallagher prevailed in the lawsuit, it never says that he was prohibited from bearing any likeness, the source material only states that Ron Gallagher had to pay Leo Gallagher damages as a result of the trial.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:E:1180:E1:6D5C:54F7:A206:EC9E (talk) 19:23, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
