Talk:Alex P. Keaton

How about a photo?

I would think that, whomever owns the rights to still shots from this erstwhile TV show, would probably agree gladly to allow a photo here. (wouldn't it be like getting "free publicity" here on Wikipedia for both the character and the erstwhile TV show?)

I contrast that with the limited appeal [IMHO] of only a latter-day (more recent) photo of the actor.

I do not even know whether "this erstwhile TV show" is now commercially available via DVD (or not). But in any event, who would want to hoard the photo? All it would take is one - it would help a lot, IMO.

Examples: There is a photo (also showing others on the same TV show) at http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2052757504/ch0029491 and the copyright notice there says, << "(c) 1985 Gene Trindl - Image courtesy MPTV.net" >> ((and the "MPTV.net" part is a hyper-link to the URL http://mptv.net/)). I don't know exactly how we (that is, Wikipedia) could perhaps go about getting similar permission - but in my opinion it would be a good idea. (I have never done that before.)

Alex P. Keaton → Alex Keaton – Sources use or omit the middle initial "P." There are no other notable people of the same name yet, and, if there are, this character is the primary, the only topic of the same name. --Relisted.  — Amakuru (talk) 23:05, 28 December 2013 (UTC) George Ho (talk) 01:13, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. The character is widely known as Alex P. Keaton, and of the four sources George Ho posted above, the first two make numerous mentions of "Alex P. Keaton". –anemoneprojectors– 16:30, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
