Sourcing
[edit]I don't know anything about any of these people, but I do know WP:BLP says you can't add content without sourcing strictly to WP:RS. I removed the porno stuff; please discuss here if you need help sourcing to appropriate external news articles. Flowanda | Talk 08:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- I removed edits because I cannot find the article at the Telegraph website on the date listed (or other dates). What am I missing as far as being to find this source? Flowanda | Talk 23:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed, the ip user has been warned about this behavior and has been put to 3RR for adding a similar edit to another article. A quick search only turned up almost verbatim quote on a somewhat sketchy site and nothing after searching the telegraph, as well the user has put forth nothing to support their claim other than strong words Ben (talk) 04:55, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Date of birth: Please choose
[edit]What will it be? December (article) or October (sidenote)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.51.160.142 (talk) 18:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- I've removed both dates, for the time being, since neither's sourced (but left "1969", since that seems to be agreed on). Shimgray | talk | 20:49, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
agent
[edit]Hi, apologies I am new to Wikipedia and thought I could edit Phil's page direct. Is it possible to add the name of Phil's agent as it's a key detail for Phil spencer and isn't included in his page. Thanks (AE13) —Preceding unsigned comment added by AE13 (talk • contribs) 16:31, 8 July 2009 (UTC) Why would it be a key detail? --Cameron Scott (talk) 19:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
NPOV
[edit]This article is ridiculous. The 'Career' section focuses purely on the bankruptcy of his company, and barely touches on the reason he has a wiki article - his tv career. This reads like a hatchet job. 91.106.17.132 (talk) 20:12, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

- Phil Spencer → Phil Spencer (television personality)
- Philip Spencer (disambiguation) → Philip Spencer
- Philip Spencer → Philip Spencer (sailor)
– Even when the British TV personality is most viewed out of three, I don't think the person's historical significance is greater than a Microsoft business executive. Possibly, reasons for volatile daily views (i.e. spikes) must have been searchers' confusion with the business executive. Furthermore, the sailor is the least viewed and must be disambiguated; the dabpage should take over the base name. George Ho (talk) 01:44, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nomination. WP:NOPRIMARYTOPIC. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:35, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nom. No clear primary topic for either form of the name. Move disambiguation page to basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 00:25, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support but use Phil Spencer (television presenter), which is more consistent with the current lead. No WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Phil or Philip.—Bagumba (talk) 09:26, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
