Talk:Daryl Katz

New Arena

"Katz has hired a team of architects, engineers, consultants, and promoters to visualize a plan for a new arena for the Oilers, which he hopes the city will build. Through a subsidiary of Katz Group, presently derelict lands in downtown Edmonton have been purchased. Katz envisions a sports district. He has proposed to spearhead private development of condos, hotels, and entertainment venues in this area - if the city builds the arena. Controversy over the level of government funding, if any, that should be put in to the arena project is ongoing in Edmonton."

Should I crop the image a little closer so it shows him better in the info box? Good score on flickr btw.--Canoe1967 (talk) 20:44, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Pronounciation

According to this ref His name is pronounced Kate's. Does anyone know the phonetic mark-up for it and should we add it?--Canoe1967 (talk) 22:33, 20 February 2013 (UTC) Has anyone heard how Mr. Katz wishes to be pronounced? That should be considered the right way. Otherwise I'd say it's "cuts" (Katze is 'cat' in German, in many German/Austrian dialects it is shortened to "Katz", which is also a not uncommon last name).178.2.28.28 (talk) 18:07, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

WP:BLPNAME

Privacy of names reads:

Consider whether the inclusion of names of living private individuals who are not directly involved in an article's topic adds significant value. The presumption in favor of privacy is strong in the case of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved, otherwise low-profile persons.

This applies to the content removed in my edit. LFaraone 14:37, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

The man founds the largest pharmacy in Canada but then you remove the fact that his father founded a pharmacy (I guess not relevant). His wife is the daughter of a wealthy industrialist (who has his own wiki article) but then that gets removed. The source that names who his wife is is removed (I guess the wife's name is relevant but not his parents names) but then the name of his wife is left in the article (now unsourced) perhaps to be removed later as such. Then I go to your history and see that you recently edited an article for comedian Ross Shafer on May 16, 2013 but then leave the fact that he has "Sons: Adam, Ryan (from previous marriage); Daughter: Lauren (adopted with current wife Leah)" in the article which apparently are "encyclopedic". So why the apparent focus on Katz?

Anyhow, standard policy is to include names of parents and children. There are 1000s of biographical articles with this basic information that are constantly being reviewed by administrators and this information is being left in. Anyhow you left out "The names of any immediate, ex, or significant family members or any significant relationship of the subject of a BLP may be part of an article, if reliably sourced, subject to editorial discretion that such information is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject. However, names of family members who are not also notable public figures must be removed from an article if they are not properly sourced." There is nothing that says that it cannot be included and given the 1000s of articles that do include the names of parents, spouses, and children, the vast majority of administrators do not read BLPNAME as such.Patapsco913 (talk)

It does not say it "cannot be included". Rather it says, as quoted above, "the presumption of privacy is strong". I removed some personal information about family members on request per VRTS ticket # 2013051410014014. The names of his parents and children do not help provide a "complete understanding of the subject". I have since readded the note about his father, but not the name, and included the citation to his wife's name. LFaraone 02:47, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I added back info on who Katz's wife's father as she is a member of one of the wealthiest families in Canada. I do not have access to the OTRS ticket which I would assume is publically accessible or else you would not send me a link. How do I get access? It would be a nice tool to have.Patapsco913 (talk)

It isn't public. Please see WP:OTRS and information on actions tagged as per OTRS. LFaraone 15:00, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

"ethnicity"

Since when is jewish an ethnicity? It is a religion! People from any ethnicity can be from any religion. Jews from Aethiopia are most definitely a different ethnicity than Jews from central Europe. Religion can be changed, ethnicity cannot. --178.2.28.28 (talk) 17:58, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
