message: Why must the name be removed?http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jason_Lee_(actor)&diff=259563177&oldid=259355554 The fact that he has a son is notable. The fact that his son is called "X" is notable, because it is an unusual name. It's interesting information about Jason Lee's family. If there are no objections I'll add it back in. 83.86.153.204 (talk) 03:54, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There are objections. We are not an entertainment magazine. Please read WP:BIO#Family and WP:BLP#Privacy of names - "Take particular care when considering whether inclusion of the names of private, living individuals who are not directly involved in an article's topic adds significant value. The presumption in favor of the privacy of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved persons without independent notability is correspondingly stronger." The minor child is not notable in his own right and therefore should not be named in the article merely to satisfy your curiosity because you think the name is unusual. -- The Red Pen of Doom 14:47, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think privacy of names is a concern if the name is widely known. They provided the information themselves. We may not be an entertainment magazine, but we are an encyclopedia. We're supposed to give information about subjects. The fact that the couple chose to call him Pilot Inspektor is interesting information. The fact that Pilot is not yet notable beyond his name just means that he shouldn't get his own article just yet. 83.86.153.204 (talk) 16:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have not seen any argument here that convinces me that displaying the name of a minor child improves the reader's understanding of the topic of the article. -- The Red Pen of Doom 17:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is information. Many things in this article don't make you 'understand' Jason Lee. In fact, his whole "personal life" section could be removed, because it is completely irrelevant to his public life, which we see on screen. Yet we want to read it. We are interested in the personal life of Jason Lee. We want to know how he grew up, how he thinks about certain issues, who his friends are... interesting stuff around him. An unusual name (it would be my candidate for a #1 spot on "List of unusual names" if such an article existed — wait, such an article exists, and the name is on it!) is part of it. 83.86.153.204 (talk) 17:44, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is not a collection of random information. -- The Red Pen of Doom 18:23, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: So? This is not random information. It is part of what we know about Jason Lee, and someone else even found it a peculiar enough name to mention it on another Wikipedia page. 83.86.153.204 (talk) 19:28, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

text: And "Pilot Inspektor" even redirects to this page. Clearly many Wikipedians find this information notable. 83.86.153.204 (talk) 23:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The fact that Jason has a son is notable. WP:BIO#Family and WP:BLP#Privacy of names do not really apply here, WP:BIO#Family relates to inclusion criterion based on the encyclopedic suitability of an article topic (his son is not the article topic and obviously should not have his own article according to WP:BIO#Family) and WP:BLP#Privacy of names relates to a name that has not been widely disseminated (his sons name has been widely disseminated). It is entirely appropriate to list Jasons sons name. For an example see some Featured articles:  the Reese Witherspoon article which in her personal life section states: ...a daughter named Ava Elizabeth, born September 9, 1999,[110] and a son Deacon Reese, born October 23, 2003.[107]. Miranda Otto states ...have one child, a daughter Darcey, who was born on April 1, 2005. There should be no concern adding Pilot Inspektor as Jasons son (with reference of course).

thread_title:  Expansion tag for "Skateboarding" section 

message: I have some reservations about whether Lee can accurately be described as currently being a pro-skater. He certainly was, but sources like IMDB, not particularly reliable, suggest he  has retired. After all he is 43 or so. Can't find any good sources, IMHO, either way. 220 of Borg 17:03, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Away and Back 

message: As with all articles on public figures, please avoid using tabloid sources and gossip/celebrity blogs. Some issues that need serious correction:
*The personal life section mentions Scientology only in passing as an alleged reason claimed by his former wife for their separation -- as it stands, it's not particularly WP:NPOV as it doesn't even bother to give the perspective from the subject's (Jason Lee) point of view. That should be corrected.
*No background on Lee's involvement in Scientology is given for context, which given his ex-wife's allegations should be provided, even if only minimally so.
*The main body is the article could use better inline sourcing and adhering to the basic facts and avoiding vague or speculative interpretations, which given the subject's notability, shouldn't be too difficult.
