For future reference, any and all additions of "Uncle Jake McGee" as a nickname can and should be removed from the page. The nickname was added in 2012 with this unsourced edit, and remained in place long enough for the this article to be written which claims the nickname is real. It is not. This situation mirrors Mike Trout's nickname saga. As a quick summary, the unsourced nickname "Millville Meteor" was added to Trout's page and picked up by the media as factual, though it is now commonly used in reference to Trout. There is no such common usage of "Uncle Jake McGee". There is an anonymous editor who has been pushing this nickname onto the page for several years, likely in an attempt to replicate the Trout situation.

Does this still need to be protected? --2604:2000:E010:1100:7970:6CEA:7159:A47A (talk) 10:22, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

I vote for lifting the protection. Thanks. --2603:7000:2143:8500:F57D:E78E:CA0F:BB07 (talk) 19:40, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
