Bisexual

Is it true that Tony Ward is bisexual? He was into male prostitution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.156.190 (talk) 05:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Madonna's Wikipedia page states that he is bisexual, yet there is no mention of his bisexuality in this article, nor is he in any bi or LGBT categories. Werdnawerdna (talk) 12:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tony Ward (entertainer) → Tony Ward (model) – Fails WP:CRITERIA 1,2,3,5 - he is not known as an entertainer. Compare "model Tony Ward" 40 GBooks, or 166,000 in plain Google with any search combination of "entertainer Tony Ward" or alternative. Possible confusion with Tony Ward (Australian actor). --Relisted. -- tariqabjotu 03:45, 11 September 2013 (UTC) In ictu oculi (talk) 04:39, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support move. A standard comment about "entertainer" being a bad disambiguator should be read here. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 15:51, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The subject is both a model and an actor, according to the article's sources. "Entertainer" is an appropriate umbrella term for a dab. Dohn joe (talk) 19:19, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Category:American male models has various (actor) and (model) dabs for models who have had made appearances in films, or transitioned to actor (which this one hasn't). What is particularly entertaining about this BLP which makes him alone in the category an (entertainer). And why do sources call him "model Tony Ward" not "entertainer Tony Ward"? In ictu oculi (talk) 09:43, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"appropriate umbrella term for a dab" is not supported by sources, as linked, therefore WP:AT CRITERIA 2. Naturalness – The title is one that readers are likely to look or search for and that editors would naturally use to link to the article from other articles. Such titles usually convey what the subject is actually called in English. should carry. Or change WP:AT to exclude parentheticals. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:11, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support He appears to be primarily notable as a model. His appearances in music videos, and perhaps some films, likely stem from his work as a model—i.e., a professionally good-looking person. --BDD (talk) 23:55, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Far better disambiguator, despite his one starring role in Hustler White. Andrewa (talk) 18:23, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support the move per RM. —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 08:11, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
