@Yankees10: Let's discuss this before anymore reverts. Recently got in trouble for a WP:3RR violation. I do believe anything relating to the Chiefs should have a section dedicated section for the Chiefs--Rockchalk717 03:05, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Guess I didn't say why. Pre-draft information (combine results etc) should be its own sub-section in professional career section because it does not directly relate to his draft selection or his career with the Chiefs, however long he plays for them.--Rockchalk717 21:00, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Patrick Mahomes jersey number is 4 according to his Snapchat as well as his jersey that he posted earlier today as well as his Locker, which is located next to Alex Smith. Please stop changing it to no number. Thank you. KYOUNG6 (talk) 07:16, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pat Mahomes doesn't have an interception so that should be changed.

 Not done no source given --DannyS712 (talk) 03:19, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have again removed the trivia regarding Heinz 57 offering Mahomes ketchup if he reaches 57 touchdowns. The information is completely trivial in nature, has zero encyclopedic value, and falls afoul of WP:NOTNEWS (a Wikipedia policy) which states "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events.he will be in the hall of fame. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia." A promotion by ketchup company hardly qualifies as "enduring notability" in the life of a WP:BLP subject. I see that Yankees10 also removed the trivia when it was repeatedly posted by an IP.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:49, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The item is WP:INDISCRIMINATE info and does not belong in an encyclopedic article. It could go in a blog or facebook page though. MarnetteD|Talk 00:02, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Including every stat for all 16 games seems to make it bloated and not an easy read. Someone should put all his records in one category for an easy read

In the 2019 season paragraph it states the chiefs said he will be out at least 3 weeks. The chiefs did not say this it is speculation from nfl medical experts. 174.58.180.32 (talk) 16:48, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: The article currently says "The following day, an MRI revealed no significant structural damage to his knee and he will miss at least three weeks." No mention of the Chiefs. NiciVampireHeart 14:25, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's kind of odd. Not completely relevant or informative. The fact it's mentioned three times within a span of 3 sentences that he's African-American, it's written almost like it's a bad thing.

If it were a staple of his, or rather something most people know him by, then it would be important to add because it's part of his story. In this case its just added for the sake of it rather than it actually being informational.

If you feel it's necessary to include, split it up and move parts to his 2018 (AP NFL MVP) and 2019 (Superbowl MVP) professional career synopsis respectively. Keep just one sentence pertaining to his race in the top section instead of an entire paragraph dedicated to it. It's lazy writing.

In case you're wondering what I'm referring to:

"Mahomes, along with Lamar Jackson, Cam Newton and Steve McNair, is one of only four African-American quarterbacks to win the AP MVP award.....Mahomes was awarded the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player for his performance, becoming the second African-American quarterback to win the award after Doug Williams. He is the third African-American quarterback to win the Super Bowl after Doug Williams and Russell Wilson and the second to win Super Bowl MVP." Viiz1 (talk) 01:28, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can’t edit this.

In his 2018 campaign it is mentioned that PMII had a 478 yards game. Vs rams

In the 2019 campaign they say that week 2 440~ yards was his highest yards number to that date.

A very similar issue pop again talking if week 10 vs Titans 2019

It’s contradictory — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:A040:183:720A:EDAF:F860:CAD:6621 (talk) 14:58, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mahomes was born on September 17, 1995, in Tyler, Texas, to Pat Mahomes, then an MLB pitcher, and Randi Mahomes. It needs to say Mahomes was born on September 17, 1995, in Tyler, Texas, to Pat Mahomes, then an MLB pitcher, and Randi Martin.

Hey fellow editors-

I think that we should change the cover image for this article. The current image shows him from a bad angle, and...I don't know, it's not the best. His face is barely visible since the picture was taken from above. However, we all have to agree on a new one if we even decide to change it. I would be fine either way because this is merely a matter of my opinion. It's not urgent, or even important; it is just a suggestion.

However, if some editors agree with me, maybe we could start finding the best replacement image.

Billiestan123 (talk) 18:43, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Billiestan123, Wikipedia has limited access to images as they need to comply with our licensing. If you have an image available to be uploaded to Wikipedia please share it here, otherwise, this seems moot. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:50, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know about copyright. I don't want to get in trouble for using a copyrighted image. I don't have an image that I own, but I'm wondering if we could look through the images that we already have or find a licensed one. Billiestan123 (talk) 19:11, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, I’m open to a change in image if one is available. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:21, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Of course! I think that actually finding an image that complies with the licensing is the hard part. Feel free to close this if you want; however, we could also start gathering images if you want to go in that direction as well. Billiestan123 (talk) 03:03, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Billiestan123, I can message some people on Flickr. Sometimes that works. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:37, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you could do that, that would be amazing. Also, I won't be responding for the next few hours because I have to go to bed, but I'll get back to this tomorrow! Thanks again. Billiestan123 (talk) 04:20, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey- Is this still on? I think I found an image. It is from Getty Images, and it's licensable. I think we just need to cite the photographer as the source for this image(which we do on Wikipedia anyway). Edit: the license is expensive. I will keep looking.

How about adding the number of sacks he's taken to his stats column?72.174.71.134 (talk) 03:58, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't seem like a notable statistic for a Wikipedia article. →Wordbuilder (talk) 05:30, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Dan Marino page seems to think so. That low sack total (percentage) is what differentiates a number of passers in the game.72.174.71.134 (talk) 05:51, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see it listed as one of the active records for Marino but it does not appear as one of the statistics in the infobox. Does Mahomes currently hold a record in this regard that is not listed in the article? →Wordbuilder (talk) 17:09, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The page lists that Mahomes was eligible for the 2014 MLB Draft before saying in the next sentence that he was drafted 37th overall in the 2016 MLB Draft by the Detroit Tigers. He was drafted 37th overall in 2014 MLB Draft, so the second sentence is inaccurate. (You can even verify this by checking the respective draft pages). Please change the 2016 reference to 2014 and update the corresponding link to the 2014 MLB Draft.

This is to request Patrick Mahomes name be changed from the listing as Pat Mahomes in every/any reference in his Wikipedia page to his given name which is Patrick Mahomes as his mother expressed concerns in the past about Sports commentators referring to her son at Pat. She wanted him called by the name she gave him, Patrick. Checkapedia (talk) 19:02, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
