Talk:Punchbowl, New South Wales

Advertising
The Food and shops section of the article has alot of advertising. A chicken store even has it's chicken prices and trading hours. You need to remember wikipedia is not for advertising. Eliethesame 06:11, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Bias
It seems that, since 30 Nov 2005, the information in this article has been non-neutral and biased to various degrees. Could someone with personal knowledge of the suburb write a more accurate article. Elynnia 02:53, 30 Dec 2005 (AEST)
 * The article needs working on to take it out of the stub stage. But I don't think it needs a POV tag. --Alexxx1 (talk/contribs) 00:50, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Trent from Punchy
Everybody seems to be deleting any reference to Trent from Punchy. He has probably made Punchbowl famous. Boo to free speach on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.215.75.54 (talk) 08:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * How is he notable? What references can you provide? J Bar (talk) 23:29, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Trent from Punchy original video has 809,000+ hits as of today. He's a phenomenon. Notable. Artrush (talk) 07:36, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * And here's a reference! :D Artrush (talk) 07:39, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

He is not a notable resident. The article states that he is a character created by an actor. If the 'phenomenon' continues, it may be included in the pop culture section but it does not qualify him for 'Notable Resident' status. J Bar (talk) 23:39, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

he aint notable, how many times does this have to be said?
The person inserting this information knows that Trent is not notable, he is just being silly and probably has a lot of time on his hands. Why don't you try a google search on this name. What is this idiot famous for anyway? Adam (talk) 05:20, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I realise this but at first I treated him seriously to see if there was any chance it was true. Now he is just being a serial pest who not only has a lot of time on his hands but access to a lot of different computers and IP addresses. Looks like he's a uni student. Good to see our uni students doing such constructive work with their time. He's made a video that puts down Punchbowl and is trying to get publicity for the video through wikipedia. Not much we can do, apart from getting his IP addresses blocked. J Bar (talk) 06:07, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Just keep reverting him, one day he will give up. Where can I see this video? Adam (talk) 07:53, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I just found the video. Looks as though he is using you photo as well Jbar Adam (talk) 07:57, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

trent from punchy is an internet phenomenom he is going to be as famous as numa numa guy soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davenavarroforpm (talk • contribs) 11:59, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Its not just one person, many people believe he should be added, not as a notable resident but in popular culture. Reaching one million views is enough to say its popular? Probably the most popular thing to come out of Punchbowl. Defending a town is not a good reason to stop information being posted, i believe thats called bias? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Starry001 (talk • contribs) 09:43, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * This trent from punchy maybe notable after all. I heard his name being mentioned on the radio station Nova last night and there are quite a few things on the web. If people think he is notable and there are refs to prove this try writing an article about him and then consider adding him to this article again. Cheers Adam (talk) 22:08, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

As I said above, a newspaper article states that he is a character created by an actor. IThere may be a reason to include in the pop culture section but it does not qualify him for 'Notable Resident' section. J Bar (talk) 07:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Trent is obviously a real person. there are plenty of videos taken by people of him just randomly in punchy. i updated the page and just wrote that its debated whether or not he is a real person or an actor...which it is certainly debated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.255.19.192 (talk) 13:11, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * In that case why can't you upload a photo of yourself and then place it in this article and title it Trent from punchy, fictional UTube character to go with the text in the article-_&#124;_- Adam (talk) 21:02, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I have reprotected the article again, as anons in several ranges keep on re-adding the redlink to Trent from Punchy. If he is notable, create the article first, and then link it from here.  If the person does not seem notable enough for an article, then a link from here is not in its place.  Thanks.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 10:18, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Trent from punchy should probably be removed from the pop culture section as well. Trent is just a block who makes home videos for utube and nothing else. I don't thing he is worth a mention at all unless his character starts to appear on television .         Adam (talk) 06:07, 29 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I've just added him back with 3 reliable references. An article for Trent has recently been re-created with 10 reliable references, most of which are from 2010 or later. Whilst the character clearly wasn't notable whilst this debate was going on here, he has indeed established notability now. Freikorp (talk) 08:03, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Accuracy
If John Stephens had a property in Punchbowl in the 1930's, how could his son have possibly been mentioned in the Wells Gazetteer in 1848? Also, the list of Punchbowl churches needs updating. St Barnabas Anglican Church, for example, is now St Demiana's Egyptian Coptic Church. Other churches also exist in the suburb which are not included in the list. These omissions suggests a much richer demography than the article suggests. Cosmophilla (talk) 15:21, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * If you have the appropriate information with references then you would be permitted to update and add to the article in an appropriate manner. Thanks .        Adam (talk) 02:17, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
