Talk:Billy Herrington

message: The following comment was placed on the article page by 81.159.105.213 at (09:44, April 2, 2007. I moved it here to the talk page, which is the more appropriate place for it. I also added the  tag to the article page.
:This article holds no true indication or fact to Herrington’s sexuality, as there has been no evidence released to the contrary. There is no other source of information stating that Billy Herrington is in fact straight and gay-for-pay, so unless the author of this article can clearly state this source of information, I ask Wiki to withdraw the article.
::For proof that Herrington is indeed gay-for-pay, consult the audio commentary on the HotMen CoolBoyz DVD! --90.184.23.95 12:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: It appears that none of the sources used in this biography qualify as reliable sources. I have removed youtube, but all or nearly all of the other sources should probably be removed as well. The article may need to be reduced to a stub. Born Gay (talk) 03:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reliable Sources 

message: This article contains a lot of grammatical errors, blatantly incorrect information (which looks like it is unaddressed vandalism) and little sources/bad sources. Can anyone clarify this? Thanks.

thread_title:  Potential hoax 

message: I did a quick Google search and I found a twtter post saying that his mother confirmed his death and many other twitter posts about this. So I guess the anonymous users adding about his death were right. Bowling is life (talk) 17:19, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

replies: text:  Yeah that's what I was thinking. We should wait until there are reliable sources about his death. Bowling is life (talk) 17:37, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Friends posting on Twitter are not reliable sources. We need to wait until a newspaper or other media source reports it. —C.Fred (talk) 17:26, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Lol this is exactly why I stopped contributing to Wikipedia, after providing thousands of edits for years. Yep, his literal MOTHER stating that he died is NOT reliable. We must wait for our precious MSM sources like our holy CNN (pbuh) before believing it. Wikipedia is dead.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.38.170.98 (talk) 17:48, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think it is reliable but Wikipedia policy says info must be backed up by reliable, published sources. That's just the way it is. Once sources like that pop up we can add it. Bowling is life (talk) 17:52, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 5 March 2018 

message: I got in contact with his sisterhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=677241018 on Facebook in attempts to gather info on his grave location. She stated he was only cremated (according to his wishes) at Forest Lawn Cemetery. While his mother is in current possession of his ashes, they are not stored anywhere at the cemetery. I no longer have the chat logs in my possession, but you're welcome to confirm this information as you wish. 
If someone wants to correct the information under the Death section in more professional wording, please do. I have already done this for the Gachimuchi fandom Wikia sitehttps://gachimuchi.fandom.com/wiki/Billy_Herrington. --2600:1700:FE70:820:25FE:9E71:167B:53C5 (talk) 07:03, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
