Template:Vital article

New Hampshire?

It says Sandler was born in Brooklyn. But at the bottom, it says Manchester, NH, is his "hometown." When did Sandler move there? Perhaps say so in the early bio section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.150.165 (talk) 15:12, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can we unprotect?

This page has been semi-protected since April 2014. Do we have any reason to believe there would still be heavy vandalism if we unprotected it? If not, can we unprotect it? BeIsKr (talk) 07:12, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Awards

I noticed the awards section is missing Sandler's many Razzie "wins". Do they not count as actual awards or they were just forgotten? If it's the latter, then a table for Razzie Awards should be added in the Awards and nominations section. 201.27.188.119 (talk) 17:09, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They don't belong in the awards section as they are not awards, but sarcastic criticism. Coretheapple (talk) 20:30, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Years active missing

His years active is missing from the Infobox, I can't add it in because it's protected. When you add it in, it needs to say "years_active = 1987-present". 2600:1000:B03C:69BE:5526:5B39:314C:EDC4 (talk) 15:18, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Republican?

Because he donated $2100 to Giuliani's presidential campaign? Do you realize how little money $2100 is to someone like Sandler? It's more of an insult than an endorsement. Sandler's had bar tabs bigger than that. Rudy had a lot of independent and even Democrat supporters, especially those from the NY area after 9/11. I'd like to see a little more evidence that Sandler is enough of a Republican to actually list Republican as his official political party. I'm guessing he's independent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:204:D503:CD10:F001:9256:E078:58D2 (talk) 14:03, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Height

On the Howard Stern Show, Adam himself commented that his height was reported incorrectly and that his height is in fact 5' 11" (Five foot, Eleven inches) / 180.34 cm. ^[1]

Can any Adam Sandler movie be bad?

Adam Sandler is the only good comedian these days who still makes good comedy movies. Can he make a bad movie? can he make a good dramatic movie if he's only good at playing an idiot? Nsequeira119 (talk) 01:31, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
