message: I reverted ThinkBlue's revert of my edits and wish to explain why.
*"Jon" is well known to be short for "Jonathan" and does not have to be explicitly stated in the first sentence. Were he now known as "David Hamm", or used a less-familiar nickname like "Trey", that'd be different.
**That's not how it works. He is known as "Jon" and should be noted in the lead as that is the name of the article. See articles like Maggie Gyllenhaal, Katie Holmes, Jake Gyllenhaal, Phil Hartman, in regards to their name and the name they go by. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 18:43, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Just removed reference to Hamm's father as 'Mafia connected.' Hamm states that his father had to deal w/ Mafia types as a trucking executive. 'Mafia connected' means that a person derives desired benefits fr/ association. By the removed citation's standard, every member of the Teamsters during Hamm's childhood would have been described as 'Mafia connected.' Tapered (talk) 16:56, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fair. I wouldn't have mentioned the mafia at all except for the anecdote about the well-known mobster approaching Hamm after his father's death offering assistance, which implied a closer connection than just having to deal with the mob as part of the job. I chose "with mafia ties" because it seemed innocuous enough given the details but perhaps even it was too strong? YLee (talk) 17:10, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Mafia Weasel Words

message: This article has been edited by an individual who adds Catholic background information to emphasize Catholic background of famous individuals who aren't publicly Catholic or advocates for the Roman Church. It's been deleted.  Tapered (talk) 04:38, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it should be included. I take the opposite approach as the standard. Unless, they specifically speak out against their background, it should be accepted as de facto. The standard that @Tapered has is that they must speak of it, first. This is very rare for anyone, of any background, to go out of their away and affirm their identity in public. Does he affirm that he is male, white, young, even an actor? Additionally, in Christianity the spectrum of belief is accepted. That is, there are many Catholics who rarely go to Church but are considered Catholics by themselves and their Church. Same with Protestants. In some religions, like Judaism, a gigantic percentage of Jews would not be considered of the Jewish religion (barring the ethnic component; speaking only of religiosity) since they are not Orthodox and so many people on Wikipedia then should not have Judaism as their religion...ethnicity but not religion. I generally find that Wikipedia has a bias against Christianity, especially Catholicism, in many of its users (I'm not Christian) and so see a lot of this counter posting by people. They seem to be motivated, in my opinion, by a belief that they need to stop other Christians from being proud of their Christianity by identifying with people of accomplishment.BinaryLust (talk) 19:28, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Religious Background

message: I have edited the article to add factual, notable information about an incident in November 1990 at the Univ of Texas and that information was supported by two reliable sources (Washington Post and the San Antonio Express-News).  That information has been removed by two editors who have not provided one reason for removing the information other than to note that Wikipedia is not gossip and it needs to be discussed on the the talk page.  These are not reasons to blank a whole section.  I am going to re-insert the information which is notable and supported by reliable sources.  Please feel free to modify or add to it.ML (talk) 18:46, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I see no encyclopedic value in this content.  It happened long ago, the charges were later dropped, and it has no bearing on his later life or acting career.  It does equate to gossip and doesn't do anything to help the reader better understand the article subject. -- WV ● ✉ ✓  18:51, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

text: Agree 100% with Winkelvi.  OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:21, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: ML is correct that this has been widely reported as news in major media; it can't be easily dismissed as "just gossip".  However, other considerations still apply. WP:BLP says: "In the case of public figures, there will be a multitude of reliable published sources, and BLPs should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article – even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it." On the other hand, WP:BLPCRIME says, "A person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty and convicted by a court of law."  Hamm's case is borderline: the Associated Press report says, "Hamm, now 44, was charged with hazing and received deferred adjudication, which under Texas law means he had to successfully complete probation but was never convicted. A separate charge of assault was dismissed."  Based on what's been reported so far, I don't feel strongly that it must go into the article at this moment, unless the coverage lasts beyond one news cycle.  Some mention of the incident may belong in our article about Sigma Nu, given that that article currently stresses the fraternity's "no hazing" policies and this incident led to the closure of the chapter. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:37, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It's certainly not gossip as there is an arrest record and not rumors of one. I would think it merits inclusion as any bio should include noteworthy facts about the life of an individual and this was an important event in his and probably one that dominated his life, thoughts etc. for a short period of time. AaronY (talk) 00:42, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

text: I'm confused why something "happened long ago" is a justification for the lack of encyclopedic value. Otherwise the pyramids or Cleopatra wouldn't be in Wikipedia. This is a public figure, and this incident was made public in a court of law. Anybody who wants could find the public record in a court of law and make their own judgements accordingly - why shouldn't Wikipedia simply document the facts? jonfrate (talk) 01:34, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok.  Take away that it happened long ago.  How does something whereby the charges were dropped in regard to the incident help a reader better understand the article subject?  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  01:48, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You're writing a biography here and cataloging important events in his life. Even if it turns out that it was entirely untrue its still an important thing that happened to him in his life. We don't censor things because we think people are too stupid to take them in context. AaronY (talk) 14:07, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Who said anything about censoring?  You're attributing something to me that isn't even close to what I've said.  First off, yes, it's a biography, but it's a biography in an encyclopedia.  Adding something that amounted to nothing (charges dropped, nothing to see here, folks) isn't encyclopedic.  My comments regarding helping readers better understand the article subject is a paraphrase of pretty much every MOS found in Wikipedia on the hows and whys of presenting content.  I have no personal or emotional feelings about the article one way or the other.  I just don't see how adding this content will improve the article and assist anyone reading it in better understanding the article subject.  There's no censorship involved on my part, .  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  16:10, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Charges being dropped doesn't mean that the incident never happened. He actually completed probation for the hazing and filed for deferred adjudication so its more than he was just charged and then they dropped it. Also, the only reason not to include I can think of it is because it paints him in an unflattering light. I can't imagine anyone thinking this is not a significant event in his life. AaronY (talk) 16:30, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

text: It might merit some very brief inclusion, but certainly not an entire section and the fact that it "dominated his life, thoughts, etc. for a short period of time" is not reason to overblow it in context with the rest of his life. Lots of things "dominate" a person's life for a short period of time. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 09:34, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, agreed an entire section is too long and looks agenda driven. AaronY (talk) 14:08, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

message: How notable is this? Comments about various celebrities does seem to be rather trivial. --‖ Ebyabe talk - General Health ‖ 07:23, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Let me get this straight. You're actually saying that an opinion section on an actor's page is a bit trivial? Isn't every actor's Wikipedia page trivial? I'm sensing that Hamm himself would find his own page trivial, but since he did publicly view his opinions about rather famous celebrities, it is notable, trivial as it may be.
