Doctorate

[edit]

Shaq's doctorate should be highlighted alongside his music career in the extended introduction. This important enough to be there 120.18.18.54 (talk) 22:29, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, as he holds the title of Dr which he achieved by completing a Doctorate in Education it should be referenced in the lead.ChefBear01 (talk) 10:53, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to only be mentioned in passing in sources. It doesn't appear to be integral to his notability, so mention in the body only is appropriate. —Bagumba (talk) 12:53, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
    • Please note that some of Shaquille O'Neal's philanthropy work is not listed on his page. I'd like to request adding a Board that he currently sits on***

Shaquille O'Neal currently serves on the Board of Directors for Communities In Schools, a non-profit organization that works alongside parents, educators, community-based organizations, school and district leaders to help students overcome obstacles and succeed in school and life.

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. Is there an independent reliable source that mentions this? I think that's a good way to filter his notable work. On a broader topic, there doesn't seem to be any mention of his philanthropy in the article currently, which is a gap, given that he's known to be charitable.—Bagumba (talk) 05:49, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
