Talk:Rick Rude

Untitled
If Richard Rood legally changed his name to Rick Rude, shouldn't the title of the article be "Richard Rude" or "Rick Rude" since that was his legal name upon death, not a nickname or stage name? What are the Wiki rules for this? 209.173.211.254 18:37, 1 June 2007 (UTC)shaner5000

Richard Rood → Rick Rude — This is the name he used for almost his entire wrestling career (even his early name, Ricky Rude, was a form of it). It is the name he is most known as both in wrestling and outside of wrestling. —TJ Spyke 23:19, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, I don't see any discussion here, so I guess I'll start it. The seems like poorly sourced rumors to me. I don't see the advantage in including them in an encyclopedia article. I think they should be removed. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:43, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree. It is as far as we know nothing but a rumor, Roy Wayne Farris may have started it as a fact but he doesn't have any evidence. Also, they way it is descried in the video is pretty outlandish. Farris is not a very reliable source and Roberts just mentions that he has heard of it. Farris has also said similar things concering other people, like that Bret Hart can't get an erection, if this stays in this article should that be added into Hart's article as well? The locker rooms of wreslting has a lot of rumors that spread quick, that doens't give them any merit whatsoever.&#42;Treker (talk) 03:51, 31 May 2016 (UTC)


 * "Poorly sourced rumors"? The sources are Honky Tonk Man and Jake Roberts, two industry veterans who shared locker rooms with Rude over many years. HTM unequivocally states that Rude committed suicide due to sexual issues, and Roberts adds credibility by saying he heard it to have been the case. If anyone's in a position to know what went on, it's a peer who travelled the highways and byways with the individual in question. Prominent wrestling podcaster Jason "Solomonster" Solomon said on the March 20 edition of his Sound Off show that this version of events was going around within the business upon Rude's death. While it can't be used as a source, the story of the man killing himself due to sexual problems has circulated on the internet since 1999.


 * You, Treker, may think Honky is BS-ing, but that's your entirely subjective opinion and it has no relevance to an encyclopedia. We go by what's said, rather than what we think people mean. 2A02:C7D:6A44:4600:11C7:7994:D8A0:684 (talk) 18:38, 31 May 2016 (UTC)


 * The fact that they are industry veterans mean nothing. They weren't there and don't know any better than any fan. There are rumors about every selebrty death. Most of them arn't worth mentioning. Lock around and you'll find hundreds just in wreslting. If this spesific one had not made it's way onto wikipedia due to a vandalising sockpuppter in the first place it would be just as obscure as any other.


 * It doens't belong in an encyclopedia. Your opinion that Farris and Roberts statemts lends enough weight to have it mentioned is just as subjective as mine so don't try to act as if it isn't. I'm not claiming that Farris is making up something I'm saying that the fact that he belives it to be the case does't matter becuse he doens't actlualy hold any more authority over anyone else on the matter just because he is also a wreslter.


 * Once again I ask, should the fact that Farris has said that Bret Hart can't get an erection be mentioned in his article as well? Should every rumor be included just becuse it's mildly well known?&#42;Treker (talk) 18:58, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Complete attribution is given. No-one's stating that Rude's suicide is fact, but that one well-known colleague says it happened, and another served to offer a degree of corroboration. As for Bret Hart, WP:OTHER. Your arguments carry no weight. 2A02:C7D:6A44:4600:706A:6C40:68FB:2255 (talk) 19:23, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * None of your arguments carry any weight either since they're completely based on the fact that you believe that a rumor is worth mentioning just because two people who are also wreslters have mentioned it and there has been fantalk about it. Rummors are common, and should not fill up a celebrity's article unless they are especially notable, which I don't agree that this is. The only reason either of those people mentioned it is becuse it's an interview where they are paid to talk.
 * This is taking too much time and going nowhere. I'm going to get other people involved and not bother with this anymore.&#42;Treker (talk) 12:39, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Exclude Poorly sourced gossip which even the gossippers equivocate about (I heard that too!). Pincrete (talk) 21:09, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * To label the HTM statement as "poorly sourced gossip" illuminates your agenda. The discussion tumbles further into mass straw-clutching and WP:JDL garbage. 94.9.129.48 (talk) 21:43, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Exclude Needs something more substantial than locker room gossip. Prefall 08:33, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Comment: Has it been published by mainstream notable newspapers and/or magazines? If not yet, I suspect the validity of inclusion. Anup  [Talk]  13:52, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Exclude Poorly sourced gossip.LM2000 (talk) 09:01, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Exclude - Summoned by bot. Keep out until it can be confirmed by a reliable source, not Youtube. Meatsgains (talk) 05:54, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Exclude Also summoned by bot. Such salacious statements need strong reliable sources to be considered for inclusion. The sources offered are not, in my opinion, strong enough. They are clearly speculations and until or unless they are confirmed by some independent sources, they should stay out. Ca2james (talk) 00:48, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Death
Whether Rick Rude died of a heart attack I don't know. I just want to make sure of something. Rick Rude is dead right? The WWE is inducting him into the hall of fame in 2017, but he is no longer alive? Qewr4231 (talk) 19:00, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * They have at least one posthumous induction every year.★Trekker (talk) 01:44, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
