Two people in same article?[edit]

I just thought it was a bit odd that they are treated as a single person insofar as they have only one wikipedia article. Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.137.10 (talk) 18:48, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I also thought it was odd...Tazerdadog (talk) 01:45, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They are barely famous enough for a single page, let alone two. Ttenchantr (talk) 03:13, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like it’s not really a matter of how famous they are - it’s not like the Wikipedia page is for a band or a football team; these are two individual persons and so there should be two separate pages. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, though also twins, have separate Wikipedia pages. Lochmess7 (talk) 08:54, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Warring fan sites[edit]

Due to an edit war between fan sites, all external links to fan sites were removed. David.Monniaux 14:04, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Jando.jpg[edit]

Image:Jando.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Trivia[edit]

I thought trivia was discouraged in Wikipedia articles? Why the long list of favourite bands? 80.2.18.139 (talk) 22:28, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"They are also just as good looking as the other." Really? This page definitely read like a fansite. 75.69.129.180 (talk) 02:42, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Needs work[edit]

I'm not sure these guys need their own Wikipedia page. Based on the quantity (few) and quality (poor) sources in this article, they certainly don't. If this page is going to be here, it needs everything--more content, more sources, and improved sources. I spent some time cleaning it up just now, so it's not as much of a hot mess as it was before. 74.76.164.230 (talk) 08:40, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have split this page[edit]

I have taken the liberty of replacing the redirects from James Phelps (actor) and Oliver Phelps (actor) with an article for each man, with much of the content copied from this shared article, and with edits and additions of my own to differentiate the pages (attributions all in history). The men worked on different projects, so I think they deserve an article each. Furthermore, I have heard them mention that they wish they had separate pages on Wikipedia, and think that this isn't a difficult request to fulfil. I have tagged all three pages involved with the split tags. Artemis-red97 (talk) 22:30, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
