Talk:Jabari Parker

Darryl Parker
It seems that older brother Darryl may be from a previous marriage according to this blog: http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=728761 I can not confirm.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:41, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Cousins
If his mother is cousins with Haloti Ngata and he is cousins with Fili Moala and Sifa Moala, is his mother cousins with them as well.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:17, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Spinoff
When this article gets to 60KB, we should spin off a separate high school career article and prune this back.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 08:27, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

High school content
I have begun trimming high school content from the WP:LEAD and have created User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/Jabari Parker's high school career. I plan to go live with the HS career as a separate article once he gets to 60KB.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:44, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * This article is way too long. There is very little about his high school career that is that important and certainly does not merit a spinoff article. A 175kb article for an 18 year old is ridiculous. What is the article going to look like when he's 33 and in the NBA? 96.245.167.200 (talk) 03:51, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The article is currently 54166 characters of readable prose. This offseason, I will probably split the article, especially if it goes over 60KB of readable prose by then.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:31, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't see what's so special about his high school career as opposed to, say, LeBron James or any other super talented player. It doesn't need to be split, it needs to be deleted. 96.245.167.200 (talk) 20:37, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Jabari Parker's high school career
Now Jabari Parker's high school career is a separate article. Feel free to help me trim high school content from this article. I am having trouble doing it myself as it remains fairly long. I am still trimming it though.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:44, 12 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Sry, but I'm 100% with the anonymous editor's comment above. There's way too much fancruft (including stats, personal life etc.) in this article. Whole sections just devoted to his preseason actions and who he is compared to, even a lot of players that don't even play his position? Seriously? Imo, this what-did-he-do-and-who-said-what-about-it kind of listing arbitrary details has really gotton out of control. Btw, I don't know of any other player's career section that's been made into a separate article, let alone his high school career. --Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 16:50, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Feel free to help trim Jabari Parker. I have split out all the detail to a separate article. Comments on Jabari Parker's high school career are welcome there, but I don't see it being trimmed to much.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:00, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Good job
I just wanted to congratulate the editors who worked to improve this article by cutting much of the fat away. It could probably use a bit more tightening up, but compared to what this article was, the results have been impressive. Good job. 209.90.140.72 (talk) 02:29, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

He is not with the Milwaukee Bucks, he just signed a 2yr 40$ million deal with the Chicago Bulls. 95.128.190.132 (talk) 16:26, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

"High school career" section is way too long
Thankfully, the article on his high school career has been deleted, but the section about his high school career is still way too long. Do we really need to know the results of nearly every significant high school basketball game Parker participated in? What makes Parker so special as to have such a detailed documentation of his achievements in high school?

Right now, there is more article real estate devoted to his high school career than to his professional career. It needs to be shortened. Crossover1370 (talk &#124; contribs) 06:23, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
