Talk:Emo Philips

message: This article used to say he was married to Judy Tenuta, which has since been removed. He's also had 2 other wives and is currently married to one of them. Why is this missing? Why was Judy removed to begin with?
Yeah, what the deal with eliminated his marriage info? He was married to Tenuta, another comedian, which is relevant to his career and pop cultural status. Other celebrity/comedian profiles mention this type of personal information. Interesting that Tenuta's bio doesn't mention it either. If celebrities can decide what public information can or annot be included in a profile, WIkipedia ceases to be a valid source, but rather just an extension of the celebrity's PR team. It's a bad journalism — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:E48B:B600:70BB:C242:2E5D:AF9A (talk) 23:15, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Why does the article use his birth name instead of his stage name, which is what he's almost universally known as? Is this a stylistic issue for Wikipedia, or just for this article? -- nae'blis (talk) 17:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Emo has asked me to remove his birth name from this article, but I'm guessing that removing valid information is generally frowned upon. True? Is there a special case for a living person who wants a personal detail removed? Ken Laws (talk) 01:31, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Soltanec or Philips? 

message: An internet forum of people, who seem to be fairly evenly split between finding him unfunny (on the show, at least), liking him and generally being baffled by him (in fact, it seems the majority were baffled) does not count as the entire British public, nor does it mean he was poorly receieved. Unless someone can come up with more conclusive evidence of his performance being 'poorly receieved', I'm removing it. 80.6.98.250 13:02, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The current photo, while fitting all the usage criteria, is not really representative of the Emo Philips that most people would recognise. Is there another photo which could also be used, something more resembling this http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/alanspach/emo_philips_comedian_6x9-72.jpg?

message: If anyone has any info on his appearances at the Just For Laughs International Comedy Festival, please post it. I think he has appeared twice, once early in his career, and once more recently. (it is supposedely the largest comedy festival in the world, and may have been his big break, but I am not certain) --RogueMountie 20:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have AVIs of him as far back as '83 (and one from the "hasty pudding" in '87)...does the JFL festival pre-date that? 78.86.230.62 (talk) 22:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Though his name appears as Philip Soltanec at Last.fmhttps://www.last.fm/music/Emo+Philips/+wiki many sites give his birth surname as Soltanek. Most sites mentioning Soltanec or Soltanek give his first name as  Phil. MyHeritage's entry under Emo Philips lists other names in the following order: Phil Soltanek, Phil Soltanec, Emo Phillipshttps://www.myheritage.com/research/record-10182-253444/emo-philips-in-biographical-summaries-of-notable-people. 
Shouldn't his birth names appear in the lede following his stage name? Mcljlm (talk) 05:23, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Names 

message: I'm in agreement with User:Foot_Dragoon (above).  Surely, a "discography" should be the list of his albums, not the list of every joke/track on each album? It gets doubly vacuous when the tracks for his last album, being a compendium, are nothing more than a repetition of the first two albums' tracks(!) One can appreciate that someone took the time to list all the tracks out, but in the final event, it's just not appropriate.
For a reasonable example of a discography, I would look to:  George Carlin's discography or Judy Tenuta's 
For this reason, I'm removing the list of jokes/tracks and replacing it with the list of Phillips' albums.
I'm equally dubious regarding the exhaustive list of all Phillips TV/film appearances.  For iMDb (or Phillips' personal website) this would makes sense, but even Tom Hanks' or Julia Roberts' wikipedia entries do not have exhaustive lists of their talkshow appearances. 
And, little odd there's no mention of his personal life: eg, ex-wife Judy Tenuta and 3 other marriages (according to iMDB).
