How about a photo?

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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.)

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Unanimous opposition apart from nominator, with reasonable WP:COMMONNAME argument. (non-admin closure) — Amakuru (talk) 16:59, 7 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

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)Reply

Oppose Every reference I've ever seen of the character has been as "Alex P Keaton". Sorry. Jgera5 (talk) 08:05, 29 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Oppose and someone trout slap the proposer for a waste of bandwidth. Montanabw^(talk) 06:28, 7 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
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". –anemone projectors– 16:30, 7 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
