[edit] Stephanie Hodge
Is Stephanie Hodge notable enough to warrant her own page? I can't see there existing a substantial piece of work or smaller mutilple sources existing to satisfy WP:ATT. —Ocatecir Talk 00:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- I seem to recall the broken back getting some press... but if the sources aren't out there you could try prodding it. Deiz talk 02:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Google only turned up a brief mention by Johnny Knoxville in an interview. Lexis Nexis and Proquest did not turn up any news stories for her, only a comedienne by the same name. I don't really want to delete it myself, I think her role in Jackass's development might be notable (Knoxville said after she was injured they felt really bad and decided no girls in the stunts). I would rather beef it up, its just the web sources seem scarce. Hopefully more will turn up eventually. —Ocatecir Talk 03:56, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'd say it should be kept, obviously she played a part in the show and I too remember reading about her broken back due to one of the stunts, plus you see her a couple of times as part of the Jackass crew in the "We Want Fun" Andrew WK video. Sure it's not a reason in itself but to me it shows she was still considered part of the crew. Stuey 182 01:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- My final verdict in pure wiki-fallacy is that if the Rick Kosick article is kept, so too shall Stephanie Hodge. Should one be deleted I will personally prod the other. —Ocatecir Talk 08:20, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manny Puig
Just expanded the Manny Puig artical if anyone can get a better picture then i would be greatful mines really pixilated King Alaric 11:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your efforts. I did notice, however, that you sourced most of your information from Myspace and that a lot of it seems to be speculative or original research. I won't touch it right now to give you a chance to properly cite it, but please read wikipedia's standards of verifiability for an understanding of wikipedia's requirements for citations and sources. Thanks again, —Ocatecir Talk 12:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
OK i'll look through the artical again and try to find some other places to send references to insted of myspace. The reason i linked it to myspace was mainly because the official sites said nothing, and Manny wrote the myspace himself so it should be correct. King Alaric 11:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- The problem with myspace is that there are a large number of fake profiles out there, so it is difficult to verify it is actually the subject writing it. Instances come to mind where articles have cited myspace yet the stars have repeatedly said they don't have a myspace, such as Bam Margera and Howard Stern. —Ocatecir Talk 16:23, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Carney
I just started the Frank Carney page, if some of you would like to help it along.Tstrobaugh 18:49, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Interesting, never heard of Halfway House Christmas. What does this have to do with Jackass, though? —Ocatecir Talk 18:53, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Did you read the article? it's very short. "Also appearing in this movie are Ryan Dunn and Rake Yohn, both of Jackass fame." The template for WikiProject Jackass says:"This Jackass-related article is part of a WikiProject to improve the English Wikipedia's coverage of articles related to Jackass, encompassing the TV series, movies, side projects, participants and subculture". I thought this article qualified under the above assumption.Tstrobaugh 19:29, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I did read the article, but I think a biography of a producer of a movie that doesn't even have an article in which two of the lesser contributors appeared in is quite a bit of a stretch for this wikiproject. —Ocatecir Talk 01:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- So one of your criticisms is that:"biography of a producer of a movie that doesn't even have an article"? Well thanks for addressing my original post finally, too bad you don't want to help though. Keep up the criticism without helping out, it's what makes wikipedia so special. That and that everyone has an opinion, and you know what that's like.Tstrobaugh 12:26, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- My main criticism is that this has nothing to do with Jackass, so adding it to a Wikiproject is not appropriate. And yes, you're right, I have no inclination to help an article I'm not even sure crosses Wikipedia's notability threshold. Some more sources beyond a high school alumni site are going to need to be added if it has a shot at lasting.—Ocatecir Talk 16:54, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roger Alan Wade
Just a quick question i was wondering if Roger Alan Wade artical should be included in the Jackass project what with him being Knoxvilles cousin and his music featuring on Jackass as well as Wildboyz User: King Alaric
