Talk:Takeru Kobayashi

message: He is clearly the greatest competetive eater of all time. Not to start a wiki war but unless someone comes up with a good argument for not including this, I'm changing it--Pbasu 18:19, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is difficult to use the phrase "of all time" in any claim.  It is far more accurate to use "in written history".  How do we know there wasn't a greater competitive eater in prehistoric times? --Kainaw (talk) 15:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: However, "He is widely regarded as the greatest athlete of his generation." is laughable. I'm going to change it. Camipco 15:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Greatest of All Time

message: In the article it is reported that he won the 2007 contest with what would be a new world record of 54 hot dogs. My concern about this fact is that the 2007 contest won't take place until July 4...and this is being written in February. Was this a prediction? an error? or was it maybe won at a contest other than Nathan's?  comment was added by 64.111.46.43 (talk) 19:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The "Competition and records" section begins "Born in Nagano, Japan。 won [...]". It should be obvious how many things are wrong with that. I count three. His birthplace surely didn't win him any competitions, so that's misplaced. The period is not ASCII (it's probably a Japanese period). And there's no capital letter after the attempt at a period.
While I'm here, I feel it's worth pointing out that competitive eating is infantile, and shouldn't be dignified by publishing info about it, nor about its proponents. Interestingly, I came here from The Usual Suspects, and I stayed for morbid curiosity. Delete this topic, and then cease and desist.

message: How useful is it to have a list of times this person was referenced in a movie? That section, as well as the commercial appearances section, is fairly useless to a reader. The Japanese article has more up-to-date information and at least provides its references and appearances in a bulleted list. Reconrabbit (talk|edits) 20:55, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
