NOT at the storming of the Capital
Rumor is that Chuck Norris was at the storming of the Capital because of pics of a guy looking like him. Counterargument is that he can’t have been, or would've turned the building over with a roundhouse kick. Joking, but may end up being worth noting. Hyperbolick (talk) 00:38, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Politics
Norris is far more well known for his involvement in far right politics than for his acting career, so the lede should mention this. (86.149.119.210 (talk) 16:31, 25 March 2021 (UTC)) 86.149.119.210 (talk) 16:31, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * You'd need some strong sourcing to include that in the lede. OhNo itsJamie Talk 20:50, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I think he's more known for his superhuman skills...--Jack Upland (talk) 07:56, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Chuck and his firsts wife Diane once owned this well know restaurant in Newport Beach. https://www.ocregister.com/2013/09/13/the-five-the-power-of-chuck-norris-naughty-newport/

"Mark Serventi, co-owner of Woody’s, confirmed the action star owned the restaurant in the 1980s. According to Woody’s website, Norris owned the restaurant and hired another martial arts action star, Jean-Claude Van Damme, to work as a bouncer." from the Orange County Register.

spelling error
In the Martial arts knowledge section it reads: "Commandment Gen. James T. Conway making Norris an honorary United States Marines" The correct spelling of the first word is "Commandant" Davepyne (talk) 11:24, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * error is coming from wikidata (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2673) -- not sure how to fix it there... Random fixer upper (talk) 20:07, 16 September 2023 UTC
 * As of now (May, 2024), that sentence is no more part of Martial arts knowledge section. Both sentences (in text and in picture caption) in Distinctions, awards, and honors sections are both from article text (not wikidata), and already had correct spelling. Anway, I also corrected the error in caption of the picture in Wikidata. --Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 07:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Martial Arts Knowledge Infobox
Does the martial arts knowledge section really need an infobox? It also has the same picture as the infobox for the main article with an incorrect caption. Alienmandosaur (talk) 15:51, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * added blank image parameter to infobox to stop image/caption being pulled from wikidata. Random fixer upper (talk) 20:07, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Max International, LLC
How is there no mention of Chuck Norris becoming a spokesperson in 2013 (with his wife) for Max International, LLC — the highly questionable multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme? Given how this is so widely known that talk show host John Oliver cited Chuck & Gena in describing the fraud on national TV, it's worthy of inclusion: {{cite web |last1=Oliver |first1=John |author1-link=John Oliver |title=WATCH: Multilevel Marketing: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6MwGeOm8iI&t=207s |website=youtube.com |publisher=Last Week Tonight |language=en |format=video |date=November 7, 2016} Theaternearyou (talk) 20:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Career: 1958 to 1969 - multiple inconsistencies
In the "Career" section for 1958-1969, there are multiple inconsistencies in the final two paragraphs. First, after describing some of his other competitive defeats earlier in the section, it is noted that, "In early 1968, Norris suffered the tenth and final loss of his career, losing an upset decision to Louis Delgado." However, later in the same paragraph it is stated that, "It was the last time Norris participated and retired undefeated." I am not sure how these two statements can be reconciled. Further, the first sentence of the following paragraph then contradicts the statement about his retirement in 1968, "In 1969, during the first weekend of August, Norris defended his title as world champion at the International Karate Championship." While it is possible, of course, to retire and un-retire from a sport, the gap here is only around 9 months. 129.137.96.20 (talk) 13:39, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
