Requested move 30 December 2014

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Page moved. No significant opposition to the proposed move, and it satisfies WP:JR. On whether to remove the "Jr" altogether, there is clearly no consensus here for that. It can be duscissed separately if necessary.(non-admin closure)  â€” Amakuru (talk) 18:41, 19 January 2015 (UTC)Reply



Odell Beckham, Jr. → Odell Beckham Jr. – Beckham himself does not use the comma. Also, most sources omit the comma, including:

Did you not read my comment and see the sources above?--Yankees10 00:01, 31 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
I did. Wikipedia's guideline calls for using the comma if the subject does. See WP:JR. -- Calidum 00:13, 31 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough.--Yankees10 00:29, 31 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
You have sources above for "Jr." with and without the comma. Do you have sources to show that his name is more commonly given with the "Jr." than without? 209.211.131.181 (talk) 06:01, 31 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
In addition to the ones above: Sports Illustrated, Fox Sports, USA Today, and NJ.com all have him as Odell Beckham Jr. The real question is does anyone actually use the comma in reference to him. -- Calidum 06:17, 31 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
I think ODB prefers to be called "Jr." to distinguish himself from his father, who is known in football circles because of the book Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream. Arbor to SJ (talk) 23:26, 31 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Kicking Net Relationship

[edit]

Beckham proposed to the Giants' kicking net, and it 'said yes' according to Beckham on 10/16/2016. After he hit it and it surprisingly hit back, their relationship has grown.

section for controversies?

[edit]

Should there be a separate section for his controversies? That is a big part of his notability and his coverage in reliable sources. I would guess roughly 50/50 with his play. So in his unique case, I think such a section would definitely be warranted. Isenta (talk) 19:19, 22 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

No, his controversies are not a "big part of his notability" at all. And where are you getting this 50/50 coverage stat from? Just do a quick google search and tell me how many pages you have to go through until an article covering a controversy pops up. Meatsgains (talk) 23:39, 22 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
'A quick Google search' is not how notability is determined. I'm not sure why anyone would deny how many controversies he's had and how extensively they have been covered by the media -- but it's an objective fact a huge part of his notability are his controversies. Isenta (talk) 09:16, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Notability is not the issue here. And your unsubstantiated opinions are not "objective fact". Jibal (talk) 07:02, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Ok, this is becoming more clear now. I just thoroughly read the article. It appears there are only three brief mentions of anything negative. A vague reference about his 'conduct' in the lede: then two brief mentions of specific NFL sanctions -- both buried. It would seem a whitewashing is in effect on this article. We have one of the most controversial athletes in sports, with significant negative media coverage -- and his article reads like he is just another normal player. I'm not going to waste my time going to war with a bunch of entrenched POV pushing OWNers but I would like to voice my strong opposition to the biased and misleading way this article has been written, by excluding nearly all negative RS coverage. Isenta (talk) 09:29, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
    So much projection in that comment. It is indeed clear what is going on here, and it became clear to others too ... from the denial of this editor's request to remove an indefinite block: "there's a clear consensus that your behaviour is incompatible with Wikipedia" Jibal (talk) 07:04, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

The "Cleveland Browns" subsection consists of one sentence, the first half of which states:

"On March 13, 2019, Beckham was traded to the Cleveland Browns, along with Olivier Vernon, in exchange for Jabrill Peppers, Kevin Zeitler, and the Browns' first round (17th overall) and third-round pick (95th overall)"

This is one of those random little bits of pointless fiction that gets added on here a lot and it's in the midst of a really terribly written passage. Vernon was traded for Zeitler but in a transaction separate from the Beckham trade. See the source: . Vernon is mentioned but not as part of this trade while Zeitler isn't mentioned at all. It also contains the unnecessary phrase "in exchange," it fails to state which draft the traded picks fall in, it has the singular word "pick" when there are two, Jabrill Peppers's position isn't mentioned, and it's sorted with Peppers first, meaning the picks have to be differentiated by the word "and" in a way that makes it rhetorically awkward. It needs to read:

"On March 13, 2019, Beckham was traded to the Cleveland Browns for the Browns' 2019 first-round pick (17th overall), third-round pick (95th overall), and safety Jabrill Peppers." 2600:1700:B7A1:9A30:7507:9C42:89A4:BA1C (talk) 02:57, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
