I would like to get the opinion of some other editors regarding the question of whether or not the following content belongs in the article:

He is known for an episode of accidentally burning himself with a hotel iron,[1] which is often erroneously told as a result of the attempted ironing of a shirt while wearing it.[2]

As you can see, the content has a couple of sources. That's part of why I hesitate to remove it, as the rest of the article is without references. AutomaticStrikeout 01:19, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it belongs. It's a notable and verifiable fact about the guy. MichaelProcton (talk) 07:42, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Include As long as it's verifiable, you're good to go. Since the article is entirely a career bio at this time, personal information will enrich it. --BDD (talk) 18:23, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. If it's verified, I don't see a problem. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:34, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
