James Earl Jones

September 9, James Earl Jones: please update to read EGOT winner in place of 'Tony winner'. Cheers! Shir-El too 09:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jones has an Honorary Academy Award, so it is not universally accepted that he is a true EGOT winner. WWGB (talk) 10:17, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HE RECEIVED it. WP must align with FACTS - not bend over backwards to play Caesar's wife. ALL obituary notices I've come across have included the 'EGOT' listing. At the least ADD it to the line! "Mr. Jones collected Tonys, Golden Globes, Emmys, Kennedy Center honors and an honorary Academy Award."[1] Cheers! Shir-El too 12:32, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You get nowhere by SHOUTING (and then becoming "chummy" afterwards). I'd practice your technique in civility if I was you. If an honorary Academy Award does not qualify as part of an EGOT, quoting as many other independent sources as you like cannot change that fact. Thanks.

EGOT is more a status than an physical award anyway. Rusted AutoParts 19:39, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
