Talk:Paul McDermott

As if...

As if Paul McDermott hasn't created this entire entry himself. As if anyone would sit down and write a wikipedia article about someone whose name they don't even know.

There are quite a number of results from a Googe Search that prove his notibility. Joker264 (talk) 11:02, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

I just added

I just added the info about the pilot, there is no source except that I just watched the filming of it. Show features flacco, unbilical brothers, tripod, youth group, claire hooper, and some russian girl with hoops. Its absolutely hilarious and we were told it should screen in april as a pilot, but they have gotten the go ahead for the series anyway. the show seemed to have the working title "The best little show in the world," although I get the impression that it will change.

Sounds like this show is a new version of the The Big Gig: http://www.theage.com.au/news/tv--radio/abc-goes-back-in-time-to-revive-emthe-big-gigem/2007/03/16/1173722750173.html --James 02:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I've updated the article with details of the new show's name and premier date. --James 01:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Pete Evans's Magic Machine

There is nothing on the internet, except for Pete Evans's publicity, that claims that such an event at anytime ever took place: In 2005, Hugos won 'Best pizza in the world' at the American Pizza Challenge in New York City.

Result: Considerable uncited information remains, failing GA criterion 2. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:48, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

The article has sections missing citations, in particular the Television career section is uncited, and many sentences in Live Comedy. It is an immediate fail for Criteria 3 of WP:GAFAIL and the "Verifiable with no original research" criteria for good articles.

As a side point, since it was listed in September 2008, his career has evolved quite a bit, and he has been involved in television since 2015 but this is not covered in the article. LibStar (talk) 23:34, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

I improved the Television career section with sources that were already on other sections, @LibStar. Yours sincerely, TechGeek105 (his talk page) 07:41, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
