the practice

i believe he was in early season 7 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.195.89 (talk) 21:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Criminal Minds

He was in an episode about two or three weeks back. I just figured whoever runs this page might want to update. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.225.47.131 (talk) 10:34, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Band

Why was the bit about his band taken out? He is, in fact, in the LA band called The Hammerheads. Also, why is none of the adding/deleting of it recorded in the history? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.27.35.230 (talk) 03:34, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Lead section

I think the Lead section went into too much detail regarding the actor's film appearances. I have edited the section accordingly and this information is available in the body of the article for interested readers.--Soulparadox 15:58, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Excellent. Thank you. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 16:46, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

American

Erm.. How is he soley American? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SamGallagherWright (talk • contribs) 13:26, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Is there any evidence that he is a citizen of any other country? All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 20:08, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Birth date

A few web sites say he was born on June 23 (though these are the minority), while most say he was born March 11, as ours does. Does anyone know for sure? Mad Jack O'Lantern 04:56, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

March 11 is correct; he and I attend the same school. Trumpetboy8282 23:56, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

He is now 23 as of 11th March 2012. This should be updated to reflect that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.97.155.5 (talk) 20:01, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

"Olympic qualification"?

I have seen many newspapers repeat that his parents qualified for the 1972 Olympics, but were not allowed to go. Does anyone know how they were to have qualified? The Soviet Olympic pairs team in '72 was very deep: they won two medals and the third place team (who were the Soviet national champions) placed 6th. I have not seen his parents names on any results list from that period. Does anyone have more information or is this just senior-level pair skaters claiming they were competitive for Olympic spots, when they were actually not in the running for the team at all?

This is not to say that Soviet Jewish athletes were not left behind, this is simply a question if this is a true claim. We see many times in every country that high-level athletes claim that they were competing for a spot on the Olympic team, even though they were not, and then blame the fact that they did not qualify on some external factor. In the US, this is sometimes called playing the race card. Is that the case here? Again, I am sure his parents were great professional skaters. But I would like proof they were in contention for the Olympic team other than that they said they were. 70.17.188.131 (talk) 20:18, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

The 1989 L.A. Times article cited (citation #1) states "In 1972, as the nationally third-ranked pair team, they qualified for the Olympics but were not permitted to go because of their religion". Would adding their ranking to the article help explain it? All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 20:34, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

It's unclear how the L.A. Times came up with that ranking. Ludmila Belousova / Oleg Protopopov were the Soviet national bronze medalists that year, not Yelchin's parents. What is the L.A. Times' "nationally third-ranked" statement based on? Hergilei (talk) 05:14, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Voice work for the Dust Channel

• DUST on youtube I think this is significant because it was his actual last work.
Also, I don't know how many short films for DUST he participated in,
but it may have been a violation of contract elsewhere.

"Mary Poppins Returns" dedication?

The article states that "Mary Poppins Returns" is dedicated to Yelchin. However, I didn't see this dedication in the film titles and I am not aware Yelchin had anything to do with this film (it's not listed on his IMDB page and he's not listed on that film's IMDB page). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuxoft (talk • contribs) 17:50, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Conspiracy theories

There is No mention of the usual conspistuff. Think we should mention it with two or three sentences. Lovemankind83 (talk) 04:38, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

I disagree. Let's stick to, oh I don't know...maybe what reliable sources have to say about this person's life. Shearonink (talk) 04:42, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

I disagree you, because my Point was Not, that These conspiracy stuff is a reliable source, but it is an impression of popular culture, so this need a Special segment. Lovemankind83 (talk) 00:26, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

2 questions.

Greetings:

1. Why is the title of the "Tributes" section different from the other titles?
2. How does an "American dub" differ from an "English dub"? Is a different accent used?

Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 16:17, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Answer to #2: Yes. Follow up: did you check the article for the film in question before posting this? I'm curious if this was a question about semantics or an actual question about the difference of an American dub vs. English (in the referenced article it says US and UK versions, but that may have changed since your post) 107.185.58.103 (talk) 02:45, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Nicholas Markowitz's mother

This article states that Yelchin's performance in Alpha Dog was 'praised' by the victims mother, but the citation leads to an article featuring an entirely different story. I looked and could not find anything about the actual claim, does anyone else know of a valid reference? I tagged it unverified vs. just removing it because A) If it's true it's an excellent addition to this page B) The actual content of the cited article is very interesting, if someone else wants to work it into the page DocRocktopus (talk) 03:08, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Bolding

Ahhh, why all the bolding, wiki practice usually just bolds the name of the page. I am going to go ahead and unbold all this and revert. --Geppy 05:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

"His family is Jewish, and were subjected to religious and political oppression in the Soviet Union" Sorry, but you can give examples of these repressions, but you yourself write that they were stars of the Leningrad ballet on ice for 15 years and respected skating coaches and generally lived very well in the USSR, the only evidence of at least something is that they were not they missed the Olympic Games in 1972, and it’s not clear why, and only absolute unsubstantiated allegations that they were supposedly not allowed out of politics and religion based on the words of Yelchin himself, who most likely just lies and nothing more, although the statement itself about allegedly winning the selection and some third place in the national selection is also absolutely unproven Цйфыву (talk) 11:40, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Notability

@Crumpled Fire: What is your evidence for this claim? Nikkimaria (talk) 03:44, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

It's already written and cited in the article body with this citation.— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 03:47, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm asking specifically about the claim you made in the edit summary - what is your evidence for that assertion? Nikkimaria (talk) 03:53, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

According to the template doc you've referenced, it states that cause of death (COD) should only be included when the cause "has significance" for the subject's notability, and then goes on to include John Lennon and James Dean as examples. As both Lennon and Dean were very notable separate from their COD, this suggests not that someone need only be notable because of the cause, but that the cause must somehow have significance in relation to their notability. Yelchin was also notable separate from his COD, but due to the lawsuits and very unique and unusual manner of death, as well as its continued relevance, his COD absolutely "has significance" for his notability. The mere fact that there's a subsection in his "Death" section dedicated solely to the sequalae resulting from his COD, means it's absolutely relevant. The template doc further elaborates that COD should not be included for "unremarkable deaths such as those from old age or routine illness", which certainly does not apply here.

Most significantly, the most recent news articles (2018–present) using the simply the search term "Anton Yelchin" virtually all concern his COD rather than, or in addition to, his career or legacy otherwise.— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 04:12, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

In both of those example cases, the death itself was sufficiently notable to warrant its own article - that does not appear to be the case here. Additionally while there is a bump in coverage of the lawsuit in 2018 since that's when it was settled, more recent sources focus considerably more on his life/career. Not seeing evidence of "continued relevance" beyond the routine mention you would see regardless of the specific cause. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:20, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Nothing in the template doc insinuates that the COD must be "notable enough to warrant its own article", it only says it must have some sort of significance to the subject's notability. It says nothing about how significant it must be, only that it must have some undefined level of significance. More recent sources focusing "considerably more" on his life/career is entirely irrelevant, the question isn't about how much more a COD is significant than the rest of the person's career, it's only about whether it has significance at all, which it clearly does. If you think the template doc wording about level of significance should change, you can bring it up at the talk page there.— Crumpled Fire • contribs •
