Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs

[edit]

I like to suggest to have Political section of the Wikipedia to move up above Wresting Section to allow easier Wikipedia and wresting sections + wresting info box to spited. A more better picture and Page of him being a Mayor (Not in WWE) title changes to his real name Glenn Jacobs (Not Kane (Wrestler) since hes a Mayor now. Thanks Political and Wresting Wiki Editors. @David O. Johnson: @Galatz: Colton Meltzer (talk) 04:31, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm against moving the political section before the wrestling section for chronology issues. He's been wrestling since 1992, his political section begins with supporting Ron Paul in 2008. It may be WP:TOOSOON to discuss moving the article to Glenn Jacobs but it's something we'll probably have to think about at some point. I do agree with the picture though. I'd recommend File:Glenn Jacobs & Cliff Maloney (35617397504) (cropped).png or File:Glenn Jacobs by Gage Skidmore 2.jpg.LM2000 (talk) 04:49, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@LM2000: i think this page also need be Extended Protected soon (The Blue Lock) , lot of vandalism riot to Political section of the page almost similar to Donald Trump page? Colton Meltzer (talk) 23:39, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Colton Meltzer: At this point he is much more well known as a wrestler than a mayor of a small county. He was elected by 66k people as opposed to watched by millions over the years. He is definitely more well known for his time as Kane than anything else. Check out WP:COMMONNAME. If you think it needs protection, those requests go at WP:RPP. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 12:58, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Galatz: I understand, but he putting his wresting career behind him to first do his Mayor role for Knox County in recent his Mayor-elect Speech. Since he said that, i would put move the Political section above Professional Wresting Section of Glenn Jacobs Wikipedia page as the Political section will be more actively work on than the Wresting section. Plus, Rename the big title Kane (wrestler) back to Glenn Jacobs.
Oh yea Glenn Jacobs Political party is in the Republican Party, and the Libertarian Party. [1] Colton Meltzer (talk) 00:17, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Galatz: Just because he said that, its meaningless. That doesn't change what he is most well known for. Outside of professional wrestling fans and the people of knox county, no one knows he is the mayor. Plenty of people outside of those have heard of Kane and are aware of that. That is why the article should stay as is. If he were to continue in politics and become governor or senator, maybe the page name would need a move, but as is, no. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 12:58, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Only putting Political Section above Wresting Section temporarily until he no longer Mayor so that good. Colton Meltzer (talk) 20:50, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kane (wrestler) → Glenn Jacobs – Getting this out of the way. Jacobs is currently best known for portraying a popular wrestling character, and the article of course still focuses on that character, but now that he has won political office the article will need to cover that as well. Therefore, the article title should reflect that scope, and not only his career portraying a character. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 00:45, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Its not about Crystal Balls or CommonName, local sources stated his name is Glenn Jacobs as Knox County Mayor not Kane. Political does not work with "pretend" (or characters name). Beside this Mayor is on temporary thingy (4 year or more up to 8 years). If he returns back Wresting we can revert the name back)  Colton Meltzer (talk) 20:37, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
yes it is. Jacobs is best know for his time as pro wrestler under the ringname of Kane, so Kane its the common name. We dont know if he will become best known as Glen Jacobs because his work as mayor. Its not about his current name, its about his common name, like Edge. He is credited in Vikings as Adam Copeland, but he his best known as

  • Article Split this is a great place to set a new precedent on how to deal with professional wrestling. The detailed on-screen details can be in an article here on his wrestling persona, his actual bio can be titled Glenn Jacobs and be about his entire life (with a WP:DUE coverage of his wrestling career, probably 3-4 paragraphs TOTAL). power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:12, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support article split per Power. — Dale Arnett (talk) 22:27, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I oppose to article split. In the project we talked about how to reduce the in-universe aspect of the articles. I don't think an article split it's the solution. First, Jacobs worked for 30 years as pro wrestler, it's insane to reduce an entire career to 3-4 paragraphs. Second, what about other wrestler? Should we split Bret Hart (person) and Bret Hart (Wrestling character)? Or Hulk Hogan/Terry Bollea? Roddy Piper/Roderick Toombs? Or the former Governor Jese Ventura? --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 12:50, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move September 2, 2018

[edit]

This article should be moved to Glenn Jacobs, as he is now a mayor and that is his primary occupation. David O. Johnson (talk) 04:22, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@David O. Johnson: i completely agree it should be renamed regardless to his mayor name and his Kane is known to be secondary now regardless. You can try attempt again to get the page move to rightful name which is Glenn Jacobs. It just doesn't mater sense to have Mayor Name Kane when its display 10)% Glenn Jacobs. Colton Meltzer (talk) 01:20, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This was discussed previously and consensus was reached to keep the page as is. It should also be noted that Antonio Inoki (Kanji Inoki), Jesse Ventura (James Janos) etc. have kept their wrestling names (and their wikipedia page names) long into their political stints. Many more wrestlers went into acting (The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper etc.) and their wikipedia pages reflect their commonly known-by names rather than birth names. BBX118 10:55, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Antonio Inoki and Jesse Ventura both used their professional names when going into politics, unlike Kane/Glen Jacobs. The Rock's article actually uses his birth name, Dwayne Johnson, as this is how he is best known to the world. And Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper have never achieved (or attempted to achieve) notability under their birth names so naturally their articles are not titled "Terry Gene Bollea" and "Roderick Toombs". WP:COMMONNAME absolutely applies though, Glen Jacobs has had an international television career as Kane. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 00:49, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 30 September 2018

[edit]

Is there by any chance if someone can remove "semi-retired"? Because I looked some info and it has no info about him conforming his retirement from wrestling, he was only taken out of action due to an injury and he is still active in wrestling. 2600:1000:B03A:6169:1138:FA07:1E73:F32C (talk) 05:15, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - Nothing in the article specifically states Jacobs is "semi-retired" from wrestling. Additionally, the term "semi-retired" is extremely vague when applied to wrestling, a business in which some of the biggest names are not on the road full-time and veterans often perform (in some capacity) into their 60s.

Kane (wrestler) → Glenn Jacobs (politician) – Glenn Jacobs won political office and this article will need to cover political section mostly even if he doing small amount of wresting activity. Therefore, the Wikipedia page title should focus on his country mayor role over wresting (2nd).

Comment Is Common Sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colton Meltzer (talk • contribs) 20:39, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose we had a discussion a few months ago. There is no reason to have the same discussion again. I still, his common name is Kane, he his best known for his career as pro wrestler (25 years). --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 18:50, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Glenn Jacobs has been using his real name longer than ever. Under WP:COMMONNAME should acknowledge that. @NDACFan:@Bold and Brash: @David O. Johnson: already noticed his primary role being Country mayor. Glenn Jacobs primary role is not Wresting, but a mayor. Secondary role is obviously wresting. We need to keep this accurate to date. Only choice for this page to renamed Kane (Wrestler) to Glenn Jacobs (politician). We can simply rename back to Kane (Wrestler) once hes no longer Mayor of the County plain and simple. Something new and needs to be changed. Making sure wont be another PAC incident again and making sure this discussion will last for next 30 days to make sure everyone sees it.'' Colton Meltzer (talk) 19:46, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
First, your statments is pointless. As the nominator, it's obvious you support the change. Second, it's fake, Jacobs used the stage name of Kane for 20 years, it's best known as Kane, until his election he was barely known as Glenn Jacobs, just like the rest of the wrestlers like Mark Callaway, Terry Bollea or Steven Borden. Also, it's the same discussion we had a few months ago with the same arguments and the (wrestler), (politician) was already discussed. it's pointless to start again, waht do you expect? Kill us by boring? It's the same case as Edge, his main work NOW is acting as Adam Copeland, but his most notable work it's as Edge and the article name has to reflect his whole career, no just the last few months. Again, COMMONNAME applies and he worked for 20 years as Kane. Maybe if he is elected President of the United States, I would undertsand, but not as Mayor and a so well known pro wrestling career. Imagine Sting, the musician, becomes Mayor. Would it make sense to change the article to Gordon Sumner? --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 20:05, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It seems likely this will be WP:SNOW closed even before a week. Regardless of what you say here, it will be closed after a week, per standard practice for move discussions. If you continue to object procedurally, it will likely be considered Disruptive editing.

"Parts Unknown" claim

[edit]

I've removed the claim that Kane is billed from "Parts Unknown". This is a claim that has been added and readded to the article many times over the years, but has never been properly sourced. Without wanting to be unreasonable, this claim is controversial and needs a robust source.

The sources provided are not credible. One is clearly copied from Wikipedia and another is a fantasy booking page. Additionally, the sources are not substantiated by official sources. Four extracts from the WWE website, none of them referencing "Parts Unknown": Kane's bio in 1999, Kane's bio in 2005, Kane's bio in 2013, Kane's bio now

Additionally, the text as presented suggests that Kane has regularly been billed from Parts Unknown. This is clearly not the case, so quoting this info is WP:UNDUE.

If this information is to be re-added, please specify a date on which Kane was billed from "Parts Unknown" so this can be independently verified.

McPhail (talk) 20:04, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Late to the party, but can you reference a YouTube video of he himself claiming this? He was on The Weakest Link in 2002 and says he is from "Parts Unknown". Brian (talk) 17:33, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't consider that evidence of him being billed from "Parts Unknown". It'd also be giving undue weight to a throwaway remark. McPhail (talk) 20:29, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
1, 2, 3 In all honesty, he was never billed from anywhere, except in all the WWE video games. Also, the reference to being billed from Decatur as Isaac Yankem points to a book site for Mankind. Do I have to buy the book to see the reference? Brian (talk) 23:18, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On Jan. 31, 2021, Kane was an unannounced entrant at the 2021 Royal Rumble (link to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_(2021)), where he entered at #18.

Retirement

[edit]

Kane did not announce his retirement at the Hall of Fame so it's too soon to jump to the conclusion that he is retired. Goldberg for example continued to wrestle after his HOF Induction so its best to keep Kane as an active wrestler until he officially announces his retirement. 86.152.210.110 (talk) 19:16, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the exact same thing. WWE or Kane haven’t acknowledged anything about him retiring so the part stating ‘retired wrestler’ should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.249.184.124 (talk) 21:22, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
