Talk:Nevada State Athletic Commission

Reference to Nevada Boxing Commissioner in The Simpsons

In the TV series The Simpsons, season 8 episode 10, there is a reference to the Nevada Boxing Commissioner. The implication is the commissioner is impotent when it comes to enforcing rules in boxing.

Is this a known criticism if the commissioner? If so I believe it would be worth mentioning in the article (the impotence not The Simpsons). LegendLength (talk) 05:46, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. The quote in The Springfield Files came from Mr. Burns as mentioned in IMDB. As I recall, this was in light of Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield headbutt problems, although I'm not certain. Controversies like these pop up but our encyclopedia has to rely on reputable secondary sources. If a boxing writer or other sports analyst explains the issue, the reference made on The Simpsons will be worth entering. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:25, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Khabib Nurmagomedov

The section on Khabib needs to be cleaned up, e.g. using his last name, citing sources, and being objective in the use of the numbers (percentages don't need to be mentioned unless they're absolutely pertinent to the topic).

Nevada Athletic Commission → Nevada State Athletic Commission – As per WP:COMMONNAME given the majority of sources tend to refer to them as the NSAC rather than NAC. They have even called themselves that in official documents on their own website. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 19:13, 2 February 2021 (UTC) The C of E God Save the Queen!

Neutral - I would not oppose the name change, unless someone comes up with a reasonable counter. I do note that http://boxing.nv.gov/ uses "NAC". I suspect that both are used, we humans are a fickle lot. We'll have a redirect for whichever is not used.Shajure (talk) 08:29, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For balance (I'm using this for commonality, not a WP:GHITS) NSAC has 125,000 compared with 63,300 for NAC). The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:06, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You had me at "It's what they call themselves." I think the hit counts are a reasonable point to consider, not as "evidence" but just as a reasonableness test. :)Shajure (talk) 18:42, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
