Talk:Kevin Lasagna

"Many layers to his game"

Making fun of an individual's name is a violation of WP:BLP. Attempts to add that or similar jokes will result in a block.

This man is named Lasagna. Did someone intentionally say "many layers" or did an idiot write this article? 2600:6C52:7200:F80D:55D9:12F9:2EF9:B13A (talk) 22:49, 20 July 2022 (UTC) I think it's a sneaky use of harmless humour in a Wikipedia article and should be left there AlienChex (talk) 22:57, 20 July 2022 (UTC) I agree. JasonBall34 (talk) 00:00, 21 July 2022 (UTC) I agree. Sometimes, it really does feel like there's a dedicated "fun police" of users who make it their mission to remove all traces of humor from articles, even when it conforms to policy and doesn't harm the article itself at all, a la the removal of "Guy Standing sitting." Hi529 (talk) 17:03, 21 July 2022 (UTC) I agree Pasicdino (talk) 10:26, 21 July 2022 (UTC) Agreed - I think some should realize this is Wikipedia, and not the encyclopedia britannica. Especially when they improperly over-use the word “his” in their edits… — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.63.25.180 (talk) 17:09, 21 July 2022 (UTC) Wikipedia doesn't participate in jokes, especially ones that poke fun at a subject's name. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:11, 21 July 2022 (UTC) I was under the impression there was no such consensus, as per WP:LOL. Although this itself isn't an actual policy, I've also never seen any policy describing such a prohibition, so from my perspective, this seems less like one and more like your personal preference. Of course, if such a policy does exist, and I've simply missed it somehow, then that's fair- but without one, it seems unreasonable to state Wikipedia does or does not participate in anything based off your preferences, administrator or not. Hi529 (talk) 08:29, 22 July 2022 (UTC) I would agree if the following two things weren’t the case: 1) if one wouldn’t describe another player’s skill set as multilayered, and 2) if his skill set was not multilayered. But one would use that descriptor elsewhere and his skills are, in fact, multilayered. All this would indicate that not describing him in such a way actually makes more of a mockery of his name than doing so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.63.25.180 (talk) 17:26, 21 July 2022 (UTC) There are hundreds of other ways to reasonably describe his play that don't include pasta jokes. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:31, 21 July 2022 (UTC) I don't see how that can be a pasta joke--That KING505 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 17:33, 21 July 2022 (UTC) I don't see how following me around is a sound strategy on your part. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:36, 21 July 2022 (UTC) personally, i don't think it belongs here. although a little joke here and there is ok, the guidelines of Wikipedian writing come first, and him having many layers to his style seems like a very subjective observation to me. JumboDS64 (talk) 20:30, 21 July 2022 (UTC) I just expressed an opinion on a talk page of the 'free encyclopedia'. Let's talk about the matter itself, instead of doing some weird process to intentions. You seem to be the only one on this talk page that sees that as a joke, without even explaining why do you think it's a joke. --That KING505 (talk) Anyone can also see your short edit history and draw their own conclusions. OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:00, 21 July 2022 (UTC) You seem to be the only one on this talk page that sees that as a joke. The second comment on this talk page explicitly describes this matter as "harmless humour" and had multiple editors agreeing with them, so that's clearly not true. If this was a different type of article I might well agree with the "it's just a joke" crowd (or at least I might not care enough to comment), but this is a BLP, and BLP content requires the highest degree of care. Making jokes about an article subject's name is not appropriate. Squeakachu (talk) 18:02, 22 July 2022 (UTC) Clever word play is never pasta it's prime. Don't get so cheesed over such issues. Oaktree b (talk) 00:56, 9 September 2022 (UTC) "making fun of" does not qualify here, how on earth is this mocking. someone is clearly having a power trip and we should add it back NotQualified (talk) 17:58, 7 August 2023 (UTC) You all need to grow up and keave your parent's basement. Its harmless
