[edit] Source integration
Try to integrate information from sources, instead of listing them as claims of notability. Ichormosquito 08:54, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Do you have any suggestions? AngielaJ 12:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

- You can use the narration from this recent Yahoo News video (probably should be incorporated into the "fame beyond..." section anyway): http://potw.news.yahoo.com/s/potw/15605/william-sledd-is-not-a-fashion- DMCer 21:42, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Openly Gay Statement
Is it necessary to say he's openly gay since the "Ask a gay Man" Title already implys that? I never thought there was any doubt about his sexuality. AngielaJ 12:25, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
As part of an encyclopedia entry, things like that need to be bluntly said and well sourced. MoChan 14:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I just afraid it was bordering on redunant. I think Maybe it needs to places higher in the article. to sound less redundant. I'm going to think about this one.AngielaJ 14:42, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Spelling
Both 'glamour' & glamor are used in the article. The magazine uses the spelling 'glamour', but dictionary.com recognizes both spellings as correct. glamour.com & glamor.com do not appear to be the same website, which might cause some confusion as glamor.com is referenced in the article, but I think it should be spelled glamour.com
[edit] Category
Why is this article in the category 'Gay actors of the United States'? I don't think that William Sledd is an actor.
-
- I agree, he is NOT an actor. Until he has done some professional acting work he should not be listed as a gay actor. 68.251.53.76 17:14, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
There should be some mention of him originally having a page on wikipedia then having it deleted only to have it brought back again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.81.118.114 (talk) 09:13, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Real or Viral Marketing
Has is been confirmed that William Sledd is not an acting viral video persona of himself used as a marketing tool of Gap? With previous events such as lonelygirl15 and the Audi marketing campaign, this could be a simple marketing ploy.
If nothing else it should be addressed and falsified, either here or in the articl, before being posted as fact on Wikipedia.
Even it is a marketing tool, and if William Sledd is also a real person (such as Stephen Colbert), it is possible to have two pages, one for the character and one for the individual. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.132.152.161 (talk) 13:06, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
- Ummm, you want to prove what people aren't? Perhaps you should first link here a reliable source that suggests Sledd is a viral video for Gap. This will help other editors understand why the issue should be addressed. Benjiboi 14:35, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Category
He should be added to the category of People from Paducah, KY (Category script can be copied from this page and posted to that, then removed from talk page)
