== Clean Up Tag ==

References to Lautner being a "martial artist" have been removed (edit: "should be removed" because the page is "locked")from the page. In the "Early life" section there are two paragraphs containing at least eight unverified claims. The second of the two martial arts-related paragraphs contains a link to supposedly sourced information, but that link is dead.

A Google search does not turn up any information that verifies most of the claims, and while Lautner may indeed have been ranked by NASKA (no record of his ranking exists in Google searches), a quick look at the organization's site shows that there are hundreds of ranking categories, and several hundred children are "ranked number one" in different NASKA categories each year. If Lautner was ranked first in one category in 2003, that means some 1,200 other children have been "ranked number one" in various NASKA categories since then -- it would be difficult to argue that each of those children meets Wikipedia's standards for notability.

In Lautner's case, there is little else besides his official biography -- and several reproduced variations of it -- that support the claims in those paragraphs, there is no coverage from reliable media (only dozens of links from Twilight fansites that have reworded his biography), and there is nothing "independent of the subject" (in this case, nothing written by an objective biographer instead of Lautner's publicists) to suggest he has been a nationally recognized martial artist with several notable honors under his belt.

On Wikipedia, the burden is on the user who posts the information. Although Lautner is notable for his acting work, he is not notable as a martial artist and insistence from users with handles like "His #1 Fan" is, regrettably, not enough to pass muster. In this case, references to Lautner's martial arts accomplishments are entirely unsourced and do not pass the Wikipedia guidelines for notability.

:I cleaned it up a little; I removed some unverified (and probably unnecessary) details, and added a notable ref which states that he has an "accomplished background in extreme martial arts". It definitely still needs work though. <strong>[[User:Sergay|<span style="font-family:Calibri;color:#003366;">Andrea</span>]]</strong> ([[User_talk:Sergay|<span style="font-family:Calibri;color:#003366;">talk</span>]]) 05:50, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I have placed a clean up tag on this page as the prose is far from brilliant, the article lacks sources or references and is poorly wikilinked. I will try to attend to this myself when I can, but would welcome other editors to [[WP:BOLD|be bold]] and help out! <small><span style="border:1px solid #0000ff;padding:1px;">[[User:Pedro|<b>Pedro</b>]] | [[User_talk:Pedro|<font style="color:#accC10;background:#0000fa;">&nbsp;Chat&nbsp;</font>]] </span></small> 19:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

== Ethnicity ==

Taylor Lautner is playing Jacob Black in "Twilight" he is supposed to be a boy who is Quiliete (Native American Tribe) and is trying to hide the fact from Bella that he is a werewolf. He was about to be fired because he was too scrawny he started working out and was able to keep his job. He had just finished filming "New Moon" and is now working on Eclipse. "New Moon" is going to be in theaters November 11, 2009. Go Team Jacob! Oh and I forgot to mention that Edward Cullen (Vampire) and Jacob Black (Werewolf) hate each other. But, have to join forces to save Bella Swan's life in Eclipse.

Anyone know it? He's set to play an American Indian, Jacob Black, in Twilight, but he doesn't quite look the part, does he? Just wondering... <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/67.173.253.91|67.173.253.91]] ([[User talk:67.173.253.91|talk]]) 06:47, 28 February 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I remember reading on Stephenie Meyer's page that the casting call for Jacob Black was for Native American teens specifically... so it's likely. I can't confirm it. He definitely has some indigenous background from his features, and I doubt he's Hispanic... -

:If you read [http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/04/08/exclusive-first-look-footage-reveals-jacob-black-from-twilight/ this article], it says that he just discovered that he is (at least part) Native American. [[User:Sergay|Andrea]] ([[User talk:Sergay|talk]]) 05:46, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Jacob Black is a [[Werewolf]]. Taylor has a wolfish look - and he certainly looks a lot more Native American than German, Irish or French. Das Baz aka Erudil 19:24, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
: He most certainly does NOT look Native American just because he's tanned and had his hair dyed and grown out. An MTV website article is not a definitive source; they're printing what they're told by the interviewee. And claiming to find some Indian blood back in the day does not prove anything; plus, it's clear that this has never been part of his identity or culture if he had to suddenly go digging for the possibility after criticism started coming. The boy is white and it's sad that they could cast a veteran like Gil Birmingham and think Lautner could pass as his son when there are a ton of fullblooded Native actors who would have done a great job with the role. Clearly, it was not a priority for the filmmakers. Very sad. [[User:Efrafra|Efrafra]] ([[User talk:Efrafra|talk]]) 23:34, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

== Music Video ==

He is in a music video called "Caught Up In You" By Cassi Thompson.
