Notability
[edit]Wow, car dealership owners now merit a wiki page.
- Miller is more than a car dealership owner, he owns an NBA team, and is a local community leader. [[User:JonMoore|— —JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 18:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- He also owns a AAA-level baseball team and a television station that covers six states. Chadbryant 21:49, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
- I would never refer to Mr Miller as a "community leader". Prominent Businessman fits better. He is not a politician, clergy man, or etc. The ignorance he showed when pulling Brokeback Mountain from his theater, and requesting that UPN show less "Urban" programming shows that he should not be regarded as a leader. (Hypernick1980 10:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC))
- I wouldn't call that ignorance, I would call that having an opinion. You obviously have an opinion; he has an opinion. Let's avoid personal attacks. --TrustTruth 23:48, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

How is this not just an advertisement for Miller? Should we get input from everyone he's sold a car to or done a deal with and see how accurate the reps are? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.162.131.66 (talk) 16:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Revert war
[edit]In regards to the revert war here: It's a damned indefinite article. I reverted it to Chad's original. If I need to, I WILL protect this page. Please don't make me, as this is a ludicrous reason to do so. If it SOUNDS like a vowel, use "an", if it SOUNDS like a consonant, use "a". Jon 23:31, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Brokeback Mountain
[edit]Speculation about subject's beliefs with no bearing on proposed wording of article |
---|
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
Communty leader than obviously has fear of gay people. His choice to snub the movie Brokeback Mountain shows a lack of tollerance or understanding. This type of person re-defines what is wrong with this country.
Just a reminder, everybody: this talk page is for discussion of the article, it's not the place to debate Miller's actions. -- MisterHand 17:52, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Removed trivia item
[edit]I removed the following trivia from the article:
- The man who sold Miller his first dealership in 1979 got cold feet and wanted to back out of the deal. Miller pressed the issue with this man's lawyer. The lawyer sided with Miller because the man had already cashed the $10,000 earnest money check. This lawyer's name was Rocky Anderson, who two decades later became mayor of Salt Lake City.
It's a very interesting story, but it needs to be cited. Also, it would be better if it were re-written to be more encyclopedic and less "Paul Harvey". -- MisterHand 13:21, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Larry H Miller ballpark
[edit]Under the section for things named after Larry H Miller, this is another one that I think should be added
Larry H. Miller Field (Baseball diamond on the BYU campus)

Larry lives where?
[edit]In a house up on a hill? I don't have any better suggestions but it sounds off. Keldwud (talk) 08:04, 31 May 2008 (UTC)keldwud 02:03 05-31-08
Controversies section restored
[edit]I just restored[1][2] the "Controversies" section. It had been part of the article in, e.g., August 2008, when Miller was alive; it was OK when the article was a biography of a living person and is certainly OK now. The section consists of three subsections. I'm not sure when the first two entries were removed; the Brokeback Mountain material was removed on Feb. 4 of this year[3]. There was no good reason for removing this material; Miller was a public figure and it is all well-sourced. Personal preference is not a sufficient reason to remove material from Wikipedia. --Middle 8 (talk) 06:13, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Larry H. Miller Group
[edit]The Larry H Miller Group is is a private equity firm that owns a bunch of stuff. There should be a different page for the equity firm. So that people can figure out who owns what. Even if LHMG sells off brands, future pages about the brands will need something to link to. (There are pages for other equity firms) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yintercept (talk • contribs) 16:14, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
