Talk:Elvis Duran

message: I removed the prod tag as subject is award-winning morning host at high-rated station in US market #1 and article establishes these clear signs of notability.  I agree it could use better sourcing but that's cause for a  tag, not speedy deletion. - Dravecky (talk) 09:39, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: High ratings and market size make the station notable, not the people working there.  However, awards would certainly make this person notable but I dont see any in the article.  Can you add them (with proper sources of course)?  Also, that was a prod tag, not a speedy deletion request.  The only way it the article would be deleted is if the prod tag stayed for more than a week.--Rtphokie (talk) 11:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article says "Elvis Duran received the Personality of the Year award in 2001 on the Radio Music Awards broadcast on ABC" but, yes, that needs proper sourcing. - Dravecky (talk) 02:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Okay, that should be enough referencing and notability for even the most devoted deletionist. - Dravecky (talk) 05:17, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks great.  That effort outshines even the most devoted inclusionists.  There are presidential articles with fewer references.--Rtphokie (talk) 10:54, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sad but true. (The Dallas Stars game went into quadruple overtime tonight so I had a little time to kill during stoppages in play and intermission.) - Dravecky (talk) 10:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Prod tag

message: I always suspected that Elvis was gay, but he never does refer to his sexuality. Today, Rihanna was on the Zoo and was explaining her hair coloring process to him. He replied with "you're telling a gay guy about fashion" or something along those lines. Elvis never had been one to promote his lifestyle and seems to keep his private life very quiet. I have heard him in the past refer to "partners" so I wanted to to gather some discussion before putting him in the LGBT category. Thoughts? 161.185.151.150 (talk) 16:59, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If we can find some sources to back this up, sure. Other than that I would just say he was being your typical morning radio disc jockey. Mr Radio Guy !!! 02:30, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm literally listening to Elvis Duran telling an interviewee that he has never been closeted and that he has always been open about being gay. Seriously how can people who watch the show not know he is gay!? Imma send him an email right now and tell him people on Wikipedia need a source saying he is gay.AerobicFox (talk) 17:01, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for the support, I've one ahead and changed to show his real name. I should go look up an "RS" though before I put in that he's gay.--AerobicFox (talk) 23:55, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The name has been removed again. I did find an obituary for his father, but no mention of the new name. PureRED | talk to me  | 15:57, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
