[edit] This article gives Wikipedia a bad name

1,406 words on a supporting character from a 1970s U.S. TV show? You've got to be kidding me. In addition to being written in the style of an C+, eighth-grade English class essay, this article wastes significant energy exploring a subject of little worth to the future of the human species. I loved WKRP when it was on. I'm happy when I catch it in reruns. It was fun to find a Wikipedia entry on the character. BUT, this article -- even in its current infantile state -- is too much. Plus, you left out any reference to his coverage of the Thanksgiving turkey drop. ("As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.") I'd cut it, but the author would just restore it. I suggest 200 words is the outside limit for this topic.--24.211.187.175 11:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Considering that we have 100,000 words on doofus anime characters that are ten million times less interesting or less notable than Les Nessman, who has been called by critics the greatest sitcom character ever, I'm surprised that this article isn't much longer. Suggest you read WP:RECENT before condemning an article based on its subject's time frame. Newer is not more notable. --NellieBly (talk) 01:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More couch potato gibberish:

Probably should add some mention of the web page "100 Words or Les Nessman" [1], though it seems to have bitten the dust. Also, the article needs cleanup — among other things, rearranging so that biographical items are together and there's a section for the "things he's known for" (with a better heading, of course). Will try to return soon. Lawikitejana 21:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
