GEQBUS is fake
There's no way this is a real nickname nor that anyone has ever called him this 70.15.13.3 (talk) 19:32, 12 April 2023 (UTC)


 * It is definitely a legitimate nickname among fans on social media (like Reddit & Twitter/X). Nygjoe13 (talk) 03:43, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Yup, GEQBUS (God Emperor QuarterBack of The United States) is a real nickname that I've seen used on reddit and twitter. Obviously being a social media app and a forum they are not reliable sources, so I'd have to go find a reputable secondary source to cite. Anyway, I'm unfamiliar with editing Wikipedia pages so I have no idea if a popular nickname for a sports player belongs on their pages but I'll go see if I can find some precedent for it.

 * Well, the article for the list of NFL nicknames https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_nicknames lists GEQBUS as a nickname, and cites a source for it. Plenty of other athletes' article have their nickname somewhere so it might work in this one. I'm still unsure because this nickname is kind of niche and was seemingly created with the exclusive goal of mocking Donald Trump. As funny as that is, I'm not sure it's significant enough to be worth mentioning in this article. Jolebson (talk) 22:25, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
