Talk:Jaleel White

Comment

He was 4 feet tall "but he has [sic] to shave himself"... ? What does one thing have to do with the other? This article definitely needs some cleaning up, but I don't even know where to begin with that sentence. HEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

Jaleel White deceased?

I just rec'd an email saying that Jaleel shot himself; is this true? If it is why do you not have any information on it?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cute 1 4 u (talk • contribs)

No, it ishe is 6 Bold text true (thankfully). I don't know what people get out of spreading vicious rumors such as these! Jaleel is very much alive; in fact, he did a recent episode of 24. TamYum 15:29, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you to whomever added the citation of source to the snopes page.--Geniustwin 00:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I added the "suicide" rumor to the article, because when I heard that White had killed himself, I checked Wikipedia to see if it was true. I assumed that many others would do the same. The fact that the rumor is widespread, and that there are news sites that report on the rumor itself, makes the rumor newsworthy, I believe. (Remember, Paul is Dead has its own article on Wikipedia!) I'm going to reinstate the "rumor" addition but try to make it more news-like in style. ShawnVW 19:20, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where the Long Island, NY high school part of the rumor came from, considering I wrote the letter that appears on snopes and elsewhere. I wrote it on my myspace blog, then posted it on various message boards. Six months later it was everywhere. I did base parts of the fake obit on a rumor I read on an IMDB message board. Why did I write it? To see if it would get on snopes. S davis 03:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

who watches 24 any way so how would we know?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cute 1 4 u (talk • contribs)

24 Appearance

IMDB.com has no record of Jaleel in a 24 episode. And I don't remember seeing him anywhere in the 5th season. Can someone substantiate this?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cute 1 4 u (talk • contribs)

Automall commercial?

Over here in NJ there's a very Urkel-esque character appearing in commericials for an automall. I don't think it's him, but can anyone in NJ verify? 69.125.89.103 02:50, 21 September 2006 (UTC) (aka marikun)

Jaleel White Deceased ? (April 20, 2007)

Why does it say Jaleel White died on April 20, 2007? I have been googling for the past twenty minutes and I have found nothing on this. Cite your sources please. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.50.173.46 (talk) 04:56, 22 April 2007 (UTC).

ADD or ADHD

Do you think that he has ADHD??? I just want to know??? Thanks

Pop Star?

I remember Jaleel White having an R+b album and a short lived attempt to become a pop artist. Someone less lazy than I am should add that to the article. 72.78.163.154 20:44, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I specifically remember watching this, possibly during high-school health class. He had a song called "Contents Under Pressure" that was pro-abstinence. It seems to be on youtube, but I'm at work now and can't watch it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.93.60.42 (talk) 12:29, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Comments on VH1

Unfortunately this entry is semi-protected until June, but something should be added about White's infamous comment about "putting a bullet in his head" if caught doing the Urkel character again, as it changes how the article depicts how he felt about Urkel. White's exact words recently on TV...

"There's a quote, that I wish I could take back...that says 'If you ever see me playing this character again, put a bullet in my head.' When I said that, I didn't think it would be taken out of context with the internet and the future. But I loved that character. That character honestly exists in my heart."

COI edit request

Hi all! I'm here on behalf of Mr. White with a small COI edit request: removing the "partner" parameter from the infobox. The Template:Infobox person documentation says this should be used for an "unmarried long-term partner" and "If particularly relevant, or if the partner is notable". I didn't find any further discussion in the template's talk archives. The examples I've found (e.g. Mary-Louise Parker, Garry Shandling, Oprah Winfrey) use the parameter in cases where the relationship was 1) much longer than three years and 2) with a person who is independently notable. Because neither is true in this case, and lacking any more specific guideline about whether the parameter is appropriate here, I'm wondering if the mention of Ms. Hardy in the "Personal life" section of the article body is sufficient.

Due to my COI, I won't be editing the article directly. I appreciate any help or feedback. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 21:46, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

1. The first item to consider is the relevance of the individual's position in the life of the subject and how the noted references refer to the individual. This individual is the mother of the subject's child; however, the subject and Ms Hardy have become estranged, and the level of prominence here was never as solid (only 3 year time span) as it is in cases where the placement is well established (Oprah Winfrey, for example). Using the |partner(s)= parameter is problematic in that this specific term is not uniformly used in the noted sources — which vicariously describe Ms. Hardy as White's "girlfriend" or the "mother of his child" — but not necessarily his life partner.
2. The second item to consider is whether this parameter and how it is used might harm the reputation of the subject. The relevant guideline is WP:BLPCAT, which states:

   Category names do not carry disclaimers or modifiers, so the case for each content category must be made clear by the article text and its reliable sources. Categories regarding religious beliefs (or lack of such) or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief (or lack of such) or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources .... These principles apply equally to lists, navigation templates, and Infobox statements (referring to living persons within any Wikipedia page) that are based on religious beliefs (or lack of such) or sexual orientation or suggest that any living person has a poor reputation.

   The individual Ms. Hardy has made accusations against the subject which impugn his character and have generally described White as a person with a poor reputation. Describing the individual who has made these accusations as Mr. White's "partner", by placing them under the |partner(s)= parameter, might imbue those accusations with a certain level of veracity which they might not ordinarily receive.
3. The third item to consider is the subject's wishes. An infobox statement of |religion=Jewish would be inappropriate in an article on an atheist, especially if the subject themself did not agree to it. Here the issue may be similar, in that the title of "partner" may not be one that the subject agrees to in hindsight as accurately describing their time together. Like the infobox's |party= parameter, the |partner(s)= parameter describes an intimate part of the subject's life and personal being to which their input should be greatly considered. Since the |partner(s)= parameter does not confer the same legal validity as |spouse= does, the subject's input on the status of this parameter should carry more weight than it would otherwise. Simply put, since Ms. Hardy doesn't have a marriage license, the subject is allowed more leeway in defining on his own terms what their relationship ultimately was, because Ms. Hardy doesn't have the legal documentation to define it for the both of them.

I believe that these three reasons lend weight to removing the |partner(s)= parameter from the infobox. Pinging @Crboyer: for their input (and my apologies in advance for the ping if you are already watchlisted for this page). Regards,  Spintendo  14:12, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Notes

• The Partner parameter, as defined by [Template:Infobox person], was "unmarried long-term partner." I thought girlfriend and mother of child, counted. But you've made a convincing case why that doesn't apply here. Delete it or not, I'll support whatever decision. Crboyer (talk) 04:19, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
