To-do list for Tom Leykis: edit · history · watch · refresh

Here are some tasks you can do:

I have deleted this article due to multiple BLP violations (it was also crap). I've recreated as a stub, please feel free to fill it out, but remember to adhere to the biographies policy and give reliable citations at all points. I've blanked this talk page as some of the content was also problematic - but it may be found in the history. Thanks.--Docg 10:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

We want the full article back. Not fare!!! Oh yeah we are getting our page back!!!!!!!!

[edit] Recreating from stub

I feel strongly that having the list of references there, with titles leaning toward showing Leykis' misogyny, is not a good way to satisfy BLP. That's why I kept removing them with a note that the article needed to be written so that those links could be used to support it. If the links support actual text, I have no objection to having them. --uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 18:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone want to take a swing at producing an article here? We can use the {{editprotected}} template to get it in to the article once we have consensus on the wording.--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 00:20, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Are you kidding me?

Why on earth was this article removed? Whoever did that needs to be banned from Wikipedia and it is this Doc user.

Doc is an admin. The article was removed for BLP reasons. -MBK004 03:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
What happened to the original version? Looks like the quality of information went down the toilet. It was like on par with the Rush Limbaugh Show. - 6etonyourfeet (talk?) 03:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
It like was? Homely (talk) 15:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
There's a old snapshot on answers.com but the Christina thing is interesting. They shoulda separate the article in two... most of the article was about the leykis show... to avoid the demanding requirements of WP:BLP. - 6etonyourfeet (talk?) 08:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Legal name?

Anyone know where the credible source of the legal name came from? IMDb seems like the only popular source, however, it's really not a reliable source from my past experience. Also, legal docs obtained from smoking gun refer to him as only "Tom Leykis". - 6etonyourfeet (talk?) 21:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

His dad's obit says it is "Tom". Tonessuit (talk) 03:10, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Magnolia

No mention of the Leykis parody in the film "Magnolia" with Tom Cruise playing the Leykis facsimile? 76.186.118.246 (talk) 06:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A reference

If you have the time, please add info from AIRING AMERICA'S DIRTY LAUNDRY No sacred cows on the Leykis show to the article. Thanks. Tonessuit (talk) 03:09, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
