Talk:John Daly (golfer)

message: February 24 points here for the death of one John Daly (journalist, game show host) in 1991.  Some sort of disambiguation is needed, I guess. --Naddy 12:24, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: The personal life and marriage sections of this Wikipedia article read like a tabloid magazine article. Also, many of the contentious statements found in this article do not have citations for verification. The instructions at the top of this talk page includes the following: "This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous." Therefore, much of the information found under the personal life and marriage sections should be removed immediately to avoid any potential problems.

message: I'm not sure if it is worth adding, I've seen it added to several other peoples pages that have been on reality shows, but Daly was on an episode of Storage Wars. I'm not going to add it, someone else can make that decision.Zdawg1029 (talk) 02:32, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Daly starred in Being John Daly, on the Golf Channel, which aired in 2010. See, for example, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/02/arts/television/02being.html .  Should be added to article. -- John Broughton   (♫♫) 22:06, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be a disambiguation line at the top pointing to John Daly the far-better-known journalist?  It would seem that's the normal Wiki model.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.34.131.212 (talk) 18:04, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Disambiguation 

message: Currently the information in the infobox field "children" does not match at all what is written in the personal life#marriages section in the body of the article. The infobox lists a different mother to John Jr to what the article's body states and mentions a second daughter not mentioned in the body of the article. Moreover the source used in the infobox is nothing but a name.Tvx1 17:22, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: no consensus. This is a fairly ordinary pageviews vs. long-term significance disagreement. Both sides' arguments have some grounding in policy, so given the numerical split I can't say there's a consensus to alter the status quo.

replies: text: User:MrKeefeJohn, he is regularly one of the top 10 most viewed Wikipedia golfers on Wikipedia. What do you mean he is not so relevant in his sport? Schierbecker (talk) 19:52, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked for some toplist of golfers outside wikipedia and I didn't find him in any of them. For example  and . For me popular it's not the same of important and use the visitrate of wikipedia's page to fix what it's important, or not important, it's not correct.MrKeefeJohn (talk) 20:00, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Is Bob Ross the best painter? Has Carl Sagan won the Nobel prize? Can Jack Black bring an audience to tears at the Met? John Daly introduced the game to millions, which is why he is so well known. Schierbecker (talk) 20:37, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: We're talking about John_Daly_(golfer) and not about Bob Ross, Carl Sagan, Jack Black or someone else. I expressed my opinion, I motivated it and I answered to your question. I think it's enough. Please don't try to force to change my mind this way, it doesn't work ;-) Bye! MrKeefeJohn (talk) 20:51, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
