[edit] Name
I'm unclear as to why the article refers to him as "Scoville." NO ONE calls him that, and other articles which are titled under a real name use the ring name in the body of the article. Tromboneguy0186 16:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- I've gone through and edited "Jacobs" in for "Scoville" in all but the opening paragraph which deals with how he broke in (sort of like where "Harter" is used in Chris Sabin) Tromboneguy0186 08:25, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
- Chris Scoville → Jimmy Jacobs — This name much better satisfies WP:NAME; while he has had several specific ring names, most of them have been based around "Jimmy Jacobs," which it seems pretty safe to say he will now continue to be known as. Tromboneguy0186 06:37, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

- Support, if guys like Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin can be on here under their gimmick names, why not Jacobs? --Dubhagan 22:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
- Add any additional comments
Google test shows that "Chris Scoville" yields 496 pages while "Jimmy Jacobs" yields 78,700 (granted, not all of those are for this guy). Tromboneguy0186 06:40, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Name Jimmy Jacobs
Another athlete
http://www.jimjacobs.org/index.html
is also known by the name of "Jimmy Jacobs" and some of the links from other Wikipedia articles that refer to the other "Jimmy Jacobs" come here. For example, from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Boxing_Hall_of_Fame
The other Jimmy Jacobs (as boxing historian -- he was not just an athlete) is International Boxing Hall of Famer. Who is the most famous of the two? 24.166.188.29 04:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- Well, since his own website calls him "Jim Jacobs," that would seem to be the best title for an article on him. However, it's already in use. We're certainly going to need a disambiguation page at some point. Get an article on the boxer written before anything else happens (put it at Jim Jacobs (boxer) or whatever for the time being), then we can worry about disambiguation. For the record, the only internal link that seems to be related to that Jim Jacobs is the one from International Boxing Hall of Fame. I'll fix it right now.
