John Peterman is one of the most famous catalog entrepreneurs in the world and deserves his own page separated from Seinfeld. Websiteadvice 01:00, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Baseball?

I have not found a record of a "John Peterman" ever playing for the Pirates. Either he used a different name, which should be stated, or it is untrue. Saruyama 17:56, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

His participation with the Pirates is metioned in many articles about him, although I've seen conflicting reference to it as "minor league" in some places but "major league" in most other places. See his autobiography description: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735201994/102-1530894-2712949?n=283155

and also the write up of his visit to his college: (5 paragraphs up from the bottom): http://www.holycross.edu/departments/publicaffairs/hcm/spring01/features/spr01_fea61.html Georgeryp 10 March 2006

I don't believe John Peterman played a day of major league baseball. He uses it to sell his expensive garbage, most of which is made in China. He wasn't good enough to make it out of the minors. Yes, they do like to say he played second base for the Pirates but it isn't true. It's just like all his other fictional stories in his catalog.96.250.215.209 (talk) 05:28, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2nd base or 3rd

The article needs to make up its mind. Sfahey 16:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Split "The J. Peterman Company" Section into its Own Page

Hellow fellow Wikipedians,

I've suggested the section "The J. Peterman Company" be split into a separate page. I believe the section is substantial and has enough information about the company to be its own page. The rest of the article can stand by itself in detailing the life of John Peterman. In addition, "The J. Peterman Company" section disrupts the flow of the article about John Peterman as it switches perspective to the company's history and away from the entry about John Peterman. However, I would like your feedback and discussion about the split. Please take a moment to review and let me know what you think.

Thanks, Kelsey246! (talk) 16:13, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

     Update 07 December 2018: I have split the section to the J. Peterman Company page. See copy template below:  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kelsey246! (talk • contribs) 16:55, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Text and/or other creative content from this version of John Peterman was copied or moved into J. Peterman Company with this edit on 11:20, 07 December 2018. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.
