Talk:Benjy Bronk

Fails living persons policy

This article is currently failing our Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy. After removing a fansite forum, the only link remaining is benjybronk.com, a blank GoDaddy page stating that "THIS WEBSITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION", providing nothing as a reference for this text. I'm having difficulty qualifying anything in the article with a reliable source, should this be restubbed? Can't sleep, clown will eat me 17:37, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Marks Friggin as a source

Is it acceptable to use Marks Friggins Howard Stern Show site as a source for Howard Stern related wikipedia articles?

Unfortunately, no. LilDice 11:16, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

A Mark's Friggin or Rundown source is better than no source at all, but if you can find a more reliable source use it. I think both would probably be considered fan sites or vanity sites. Mark's Friggin especially. Also take a look at the talk page archives, they go over using mark's friggin, and some other issues. I think some of the stuff they say may referring to copying and pasting whole sections of Mark's Friggin instead of paraphrasing. I've been using rundowns to cite show events and to create an timeline on show people, but that is because I can't find a better source.(Optigan13 05:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC))

Age/Girlfriend

Benjy announced that he broke up with his long term girlfriend on The Howard Stern Show (Sep. 25th, 2007)

Benjy's age was proven to be 40. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christopherjhan (talk • contribs) 17:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

The long term girlfriend was Shiela. He subsequently was in a relationship with local celebrity Ivy Supersonic.

Also, Benjy continues to refuse to confirm his actual age. I don't know how that conforms with the verification rules. Steve Langford of Howard 100 News found his high school year book, and confirmed his age through that.Simon (talk) 12:22, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I went to high school with Benjy and he was born in 1967 and graduated from Daniel High School in 1985. I posted all this and uploaded pictures of him from the elementary school yearbooks that at one time were linked on his entry. But all the trash that people posted eventually removed them and some didn't believe me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.171.73.212 (talk) 04:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Merge tag and article issues (notability, primary sources, and refimprove)

The article is missing references aside from two show rundown citations and an article where Bronk was interviewed about hailing a cab (where they said his age was 30). If they aren't improved to both verify the information, as well as firming up why anyone who doesn't listen to the show would think he isn't notable enough for his own article. If not the article could end up being stubbed as the Bubba article recently was [1], or deleted. I don't think there are that many sources out correct for this which is why I already merged the article once[2] only to have it reverted about a week later [3]. I'm for merging the article again, but if anyone can provide more sources then I'll pull the tags. Optigan13 06:16, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

AGE ISSUES

Not to feed into his Shtick, but what is with the birthday citation reading "Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; no text was provided for refs named Guiness_Book_of_World_Records_1991" ??? ~~~~
