Talk:List of comedians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Improving Quantity and Quality

I proposed including all comedians listed on page list of entertainers appearing on Laugh USA into the listing here (but I do not propose a permanent merging of the two articles into one article). The advantages of the content there are two-fold. In addition to 1) listing many comedians otherwise ignored here, it would also 2) lend the credibility of its own sources (much needed for this page!)

The material on that page is not in any way original work (as would be forbidden on Wikipedia), but is taken directly from the XM Radio display, and is easily verifiable to anyone with a receiver or who can stream the content online. IMHO, there is really no need for debate here, but I don't have the time to include all that content here. To date, I have researched the entire list there and have been contributing more than I reasonably can lately).grubbmeister 04:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC) Ray Stevens is a comedian, he does most of his comedy in music but he is one. Why does it keep getting deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.29.170.120 (talk) 20:01, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Werner

I removed the name "Werner" from the list of English comedians, because it only linked to a disambig page for the dozens of people with the first or last name of Werner (none of them English-language comedians). There are two German comedians, Hans Werner Olm and Werner Finck, and they're both on the List of German comedians. If you put Werner on the list or know an English-language comedian named Werner, go ahead and put the full name on this list. Fredwerner 22:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
