Talk:Jim Nabors

message: It is written: "Except for a few absences due to health or other conflicts, Nabors sang the unofficial Indiana anthem every year from 1972 until his final time in 2014."
The "final time"?  Says who?  As soon as I read those words, I looked to see if Nabors was dead.  BUt no, he still lives.  Has he lost his voice?   There is NO CITATION to back up this statement.

message: In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:14, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I think it's not a full aticle, unless coverage is made of the false "marriage" to Rock Hudson. Firstly, that it was key in both actors careers; secondly it was false; thirdly that it broke up a good private friendship; and fourthly that it was the first public hint that Hudson may be gay. I don't think it should be written in the line of "Jim Narbor's is gay" - there is no evidence for that; but not including it is missing a major part of the story. This article seems to give a good retrospective view. Rgds, Trident13 11:46, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No - who cares about his orientation, particularly today? But the incident was influential on his career - he found it difficult post that to launch projects via the networks. If that was my intention, I could have just posted it to the article - and secondly, the external article I linked the comment to opens with the statement "Status: FALSE" - which I agree with. Rgds, Trident13 14:36, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can cite a documented argument (not just your opinion) that the rumors hurt his career, that's a different story. And if you think nobody cares about sexual orientation today, you must live in California. A large number of Americans care, whether they should or not, and wishing it were the other way don't make it so. Wahkeenah 14:47, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your comments - I agree, will collect some documentary evidence. Oh, and I choose to live at present in Blairite UK - I think it's the slightly better of two not presently great options! But am aware of the Narbors/Gay issues within the States. Hence discussion rather than article - Rgds, Trident13 18:14, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You live in "Blairite UK" - well, that explains it - as you will recall, The Sun (Britain's best selling daily newspaper) outted Tony Blair's cabinet as being majority homosexual, i.e. Britain run by homosexuals - amazing but true.  I remember one of Margaret Thatcher's favorite TV shows was "Yes, Minister" because she said "that is exactly how it is", and in that TV show, they have the Permanent Undersecretary as an obviously gay man - the reason for doing so was because the upper levels of the civil service in Britain are also largely homosexual.  This is a country run by homosexuals (I live in London).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.125.82 (talk) 09:27, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

text: One wikipedia article can never be a valid source for another wikipedia article. Look up "Jim Nabors" in a real encyclopedia such as Brittanica or Americana and see if Rock Hudson is mentioned. TheScotch (talk) 09:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

message: He didn't marry Rock Hudson. Otherwise he, too, would have died of AIDS. But he isn't; he's cultivating nuts in Hawaii. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.225.172.136 (talk) 14:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He didn;t marry Rock Hudson becuaes gay men didn't marry until the late 1990s and Rock Hudson was dead by then. AIDs has little to do with it. Marriage does not equal AIDs. The whole discussion is ridiculous... and I do mean all of it. Even my response.--Dr who1975 23:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

That claim strongly implies preferential treatment in the transplant process that would be inappropriate.

The current infobox photo is actually a cropped version of this photo. →
Without context, Nabor's expression seems improper for an infobox photo. IMO, the 2001 photo would be preferable; not only for the reason mentioned, but because it is more recent -- and this article is about the person, not the fictional character.  This photo would be fine in section describing Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.. Comments? —2606:A000:4C0C:E200:7851:71F8:C463:FC20 (talk) 19:06, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Famous subjects while alive, current images are preferred, however after death the image usually reverts to one of them in their "hay day" so in that respect the current one is of the proper time. I think his "expression" is one known for this character, but one with a smile would be better.  - FlightTime (open channel) 19:17, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

text: I'm not a fan of this cropped photo either. Heyday or not, that is a picture is Gomer Pyle (and a pretty shabby one), not Jim Nabors. -- WikiPedant (talk) 07:14, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

message: It seems Nabors had a recurring role on an ABC sitcom, "Valentine's Day," in 1964-65. It was on Friday nights immediately before Gomer Pyle. Per IMDB.com, from Christmas night 1964 through the end of the TV season Nabors appeared in 11 Valentine's episodes in addition to starring in 17  Gomer Pyle episodes.
