Church of the SubGenius Membership?

Recently. User:Pburka removed the following pages from Category:American SubGenii.

Bruce Campbell [1] (Mentioned here and here)

Penn Jillette [2] (Mentioned here and here and here)

Rudy Rucker [3] (Mentioned here, here, here and here)

Nancy A. Collins [4] (Mentioned here, here and here)

John Shirley [5] (Mentioned here and here)

Del Close [6] (Mentioned here)

Paul Reubens AKA Pee Wee Herman [7] (Mentioned here and here)

Lon Milo DuQuette [8](Mentioned here)

These removals were perfectly reasonable, because the articles do not mention membership in the COSG, nor are most of the links I list above reliable sources. Because of this, I am putting out a call for citations to reliable sources that establish Church of the SubGenius membership for these and other celebrities. I suspect that a fair count will put the number considerably higher than the number of celebrity Scientologists. --Guy Macon (talk) 00:49, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The two parts of WP:BLPCAT that seem most relevant are "the case for each category must be made clear by the article text and its reliable sources" -- meaning we need to add something about Church of the SubGenius Membership in the text and we need a citation supporting it, and "Categories regarding religious beliefs ... should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief" -- meaning that we need a citation where Bruce Campbell himself says he is a member or strong supporter. As I said before, I think that Pburka removing the category was entirely correct; I just want to improve the article in such a way that the category can be re-added. So, does anyone know of such a citation? --Guy Macon (talk) 04:30, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was of the understanding that Mr. Campbell was discordian, not subgenius, as far as religious orientation goes. I was also of the understanding his location was the Applegate community, not Jacksonville, Not sure if he has moved recently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.164.40.89 (talk) 06:57, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Career

I propose rewriting his career, without it being subdivided into Writing, Tv, Movie etc... I think it is pointless cause it falls under entertainment. If he switches careers and becomes a politician, or something completely irrelevant. We can divide it, but right now I think it makes the article a poor read. --Cube b3 (talk) 03:37, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Morgan Edge

Bruce Campbell character "Bill Church Jr" was based on Morgan Edge, not Bruno Mannheim. Morgan Edge and Bruno Mannheim were both characters who ran Intergang, but at different times. I am fixing my contribution.

Is there by any chance if someone could remove the occupation “voice actor” in the infobox and in the first sentence of the article? Because he doesn’t do much of it, he does it occasionally and the term “Actor” already covers his voice over work, plus voice acting is a subset of acting. 73.61.16.1 (talk) 21:22, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably going to hate that it's me showing up, but I'm just patrolling these requests. Again, there seems to be standing consensus that voice actor is different enough where it gets it's own mention. On an unrelated note I've was able to meet Bruce Campbell and he signed my Ashy Slashy puppet, and mentioned he hated the puppet. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:31, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actor's occupations

Some administrator could remove the term "actor" and "voice actor" to the occupations of actor Bruce Campbell on his page, because I cannot edit it because it was protected to prevent the sockpuppet from altering all the information and it is possible for me that I can remove so many occupations in the short description because it is already too much to fit in it. Thanks. 148.0.113.228 (talk) 23:50, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just watched a movie from 2002 where he played Elvis fighting for his soul

Mis-dated Photo

The image labeled "Campbell signing a VHS copy of The Evil Dead in 2009" is definitely not from 2009, it was uploaded to Flickr in 2009. Exif data on the photo suggests a date of 1998 (though that isn't the photo creation date, but the photo's RGB profile update date), and that is much more in line with his appearance in the photo, as Campbell appeared much older in 2009 than in this photo.
