Talk:Frankie Jonas

Info box

Should it be a musician info box or a actor info box? CollisionCourse (talk) 08:11, 19 April 2009 (UTAH)

I think maybe one for musician and one for actor. That's mostly how it is for other stars. AvrilLavignefan14 (talk) 07:11, 11 June 2009

English, anyone?

Some of the worst English I have ever seen in my life. Fix it or better yet, learn to write in the first place. Jesus. 99.225.147.215 (talk) 21:30, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Birthdate and name

IMDb, which is user edited, is not a reliable source for biographical information. I have removed the birthdate and birthname as unsourced. - SummerPhD (talk) 22:29, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Don't people normally just tag them as uncited so people can go and find a source for that information instead of having a massive blank page with little information indicating sources needed? It isn't very helpful or productive to article expansion by just removing things. 58.110.141.77 (talk) 05:58, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

This article (and numerous others about similar starlet youngsters) has repeatedly gathered lots of unsourced "information" of dubious authenticity. When there are few reliable sources on a subject and none of them have any substantive biographical info, I begin to doubt that much of it is sourced to anything other than the "I-think-I-heard-it-somewhere-once" variety. - SummerPhD (talk) 13:19, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

If we are to use social media per WP:ABOUTSELF the account must be verified as belonging to him. That can be done with whatever validation that social media site uses, usually a check mark or equivalent, or a mention of that particular social media site in some reliable source. Too many posers to trust self-assertions of identity. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:27, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Which website

is a reliable source. Ricky3374 (talk) 17:53 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's policy on sources. In general, websites created by fans ("fansites") or that can be edited by users (Wikipedia, IMDb, etc.) are not reliable. Generally reliable are well known, fairly neutral magazines (People, Time, Newsweek, etc.; not Weekly World News, Celebrity Scandal, etc. and mass-market newspapers (The New York Times is a good example). The would-be celebrity's own site or sites for production companies they worked for may be relaible for simple facts (birthdates and such) but nothing of any subjective nature ("the best movie ever!"). - SummerPhD (talk) 13:25, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Best friend?

The part about his "best friend" requires citation, and is not up to wikipedia standards for language. Deleting it for now. If anybody has knowledge about it, he or she can edit the page with proper citation. HollyPavement (talk) 03:38, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Frankie Jonas → Franklin Jonas – The subject of the article recently launched a music career under the latter name (their birth name). "Frankie Jonas" can be kept as a redirect. SaltieChips ^(talk) 2:05, 22 June 2023 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). 162 etc. (talk) 18:13, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

• Need some evidence that WP:NAMECHANGES is satisfied here. I'm seeing quite a few recent sources using Frankie, so I'd tend to oppose.  — Amakuru (talk) 09:17, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
