Today's large-scale edit

While I agree with User:IAmTylerSanders' edit removing the hugely WP:UNDUE overdetail of every single accuser's story, I'd also have to agree that User:Winkelvi is correct in that such a major edit probably should be discussed here first. My two cents is that plenty about the sexual-harassment allegations remains even with that deleted material, and that such overdetail, intended only to shame the subject, is unnecessary. The basic facts are damning enough. I support IAmTylerSanders' deletion. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:22, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

I agree for the same reason. -- Radiphus 16:58, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

So this "2/2 consensus" has lingered on the talk page for two months without anyone attempting a cleanup again? Well, I hereby announce that I will perform one within the next few days. And I'm not entirely sure the revert by User:Winkelvi was appropriate. The large deletion by a single user in one day was undoing a large addition by another user in one day. Neither of them were discussed on the talk page and there were plenty of problems that could've been raised.

• The section is an exhaustive paraphrasing of the New York Times source.
• Of the 10 other sources on tangential matters, 4 of them are of markedly lower reliability.
• Two of those (Gawker) are being used as primary sources — the only statements they cite are the ones asserting the existence of Gawker articles.
• The section title is even worse than "controversy" in that it blatantly says he committed harassment. Connor Behan (talk) 23:23, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Seinfeld can be an influence

Should Seinfeld be added to the list of influences? C.K. did tour with him at an early point in his career. Also in the HBO special (Talking Funny) he says Seinfeld told him the "f-word" is the Corvette of comedy (which turns out to be a bad thing). Xzpx (talk) 10:44, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

I kinda feel like they're too close in age. He hadn't even heard of Seinfeld when he was starting. Plus, Louis says the F-word a lot in his act. Comatmebro ^{~Come at me~} 21:07, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Just because they toured together doesn't mean he's an influence.

In Talking Funny (HBO special), C.K. talks about how Seinfeld taught him to "stay in the bit". I would say influence, he still does that to this day.Thelinziest (talk) 18:45, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
