I think we're already in agreement about this. So let's get it over with—someone has to start by pointing out the obvious things anyway. For one, an article with multiple template issues that have gone un-rectified for a year and a half cannot be a "Good Article"; it's antithetical to what the Good Article badge represents and frankly a blotch to the certain level of integrity that Wikipedia seeks to achieve. It's supposed to be editors’ duty to keep the articles up, but clearly on this one... an article that gets millions of page views a year... well, evidently people around here have been derelict in their duty. How can an article be "good" if it relies almost exclusively on primary sources or absolutely unreliable sources (for example, what the hell is InterfaithFamily.com or fikklefame.com. Ridiculous.)? Independent, reliable sources are supposed to be used for in depth articles, but if almost all of the sources are just interviews with him then what's the point. Also, several of the sources either have empty citation template or they're redundant rather than invoked. That's just sloppy. I also think really irrelevant things like personal drama are given too much space and emphasis in this article instead of important, career-related things that need it or could use more expansion and/or detail. Those are just a few of the things I noticed, so have it. Trillfendi (talk) 20:16, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

You really need to stop your aggressive approach here. We seriously lack editors willing to comment on reassessments and your hostility is not helping. If you just outline how the article fails the criteria without all the histrionics and you might find more editors agreeing with you. AIRcorn (talk) 10:51, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

When people, like you, realize that there is no “hostility” in typing into a phone or computer nor can you detect a mood from a screen then maybe they can just read words instead of trying to psychoanalyze. How is it histrionic to say editors should have kept this article up to snuff and failed to do so? In way more ways than I said. Or was it pointing out that the emphasis on personal drama is the reason that led the article was given issue templates to begin with? Did I hurt your feelings? Did I call anyone out of their name? Other editors already pointed out that since this article has multiple template issues it blatantly fails the status. Citation with accessdate and no URL, CS1 errors: external links, ... Cites unreliable sources is what made this article get put on the Good Article reassessment list. If you want to keep it then do it. I really don’t care. Trillfendi (talk) 15:20, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Your hostility bleeds through like a very graphic horror film, and you just proved their point by responding in a manner even worse that your original statement. To say that "nor can you detect a mood from a screen" is not correct at all... your words are condescending in tone. You can add to your count all of the awards and edits here you like, but treating others in this manner is wrong, plain and simple. Monsieurdl ^{mon talk} 23:58, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Name etymology

The Cajun father explains the French-like name, but it does not explain how what must have been the original family name (Lebœuf) got butchered into LaBeouf. Can anyone shed light on this? Urhixidur (talk) 02:30, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Cajun French does not follow the typical rules of traditional French (nor does Canadian French). It was likely a way of anglicizing the name to make it easier to document, as is the case with thousands of surnames. (I am a genealogist with French Canadian ancestry.)

This article should be removed from “Judaism project”

Just wanted to point out, in the past he somewhat (not really) identified as “jewish” and has since said he identified as Christian alone. So no, he does not identify as jewish and the article does not fit the project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.18.9.194 (talk) 03:09, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

The article currently includes a sourced statement that LaBeouf has described himself as Jewish. If you want to claim that's no longer the case, then you'll need to provide sourced information to that effect. DonIago (talk) 04:09, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

I do see that further down it looks like LaBeouf may have changed his mind regarding his Judaism...but even so, that doesn't necessarily mean that this article shouldn't be considered of interest to the project. DonIago (talk) 04:14, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

As far as I can tell WikiProject Judaism has more to do with religion and culture more nebulously. Not so much for biographies of people whose notability is not connected to their Jewish heritage. For me I rarely tag biographical articles in that wikiproject, perhaps I would if it was a rabbi or something. Dan Carkner (talk) 04:29, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

That's a fair point, though I don't know enough about the project to comment one way or another. FWIW I don't have any strong feelings on the article being tagged under the project (at this time), but I did think some discussion was warranted. DonIago (talk) 17:13, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

We all agree that the project should be removed but flight time idiotically reverted my edit sadly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.18.9.194 (talk) 23:15, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

No personal attacks, please. The Crab Who Played With The Sea (talk) 23:53, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

I don't see anyone agreeing on that. If you have a concern with FlightTime (talk · contribs)'s revert of your edit, the appropriate thing to do is tag them and ask them why they reverted you, as I've just done. DonIago (talk) 02:42, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Reverting height too?

This reversion gives a rationale for US only, but also reverts the height in the infobox. Was that intended? The Crab Who Played With The Sea (talk) 00:23, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Most likely given that as far as I know LaBeouf's height isn't one of the things he's known for, and as such the parameter shouldn't be used. But why not ping the editor who did the reversion? DonIago (talk) 00:48, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

For that matter, the edit summary does note that his height wasn't sourced. DonIago (talk) 00:50, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

... uh. It does say "unsourced", and I'm not sure why I blanked that out first time. Maybe lack of a clear referent. Thanks. The Crab Who Played With The Sea (talk) 01:56, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Change "LaBeouf remains close to and financially supports both of his parents," "LaBeouf remains close to and financially supports his father, as he did for his mother until her passing," as his mother is no longer alive. Lydiaellsworth (talk) 18:26, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

 Done. Cheers! Cocobb8 (💬 talk to me! • ✏️ my contributions) 18:35, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Age

Age is wrong 2001:48F8:402E:18AD:203F:CEB5:84FB:4FCF (talk) 04:22, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

So what's his correct age and what's your source? DonIago (talk) 04:32, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Category addition

Category:former Jews could be added since Shia LaBeouf is Roman Catholic now. Right? 216.164.254.3 (talk) 07:13, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Well, a category has to exist before it can be "added" to anything, for starters... Bearcat (talk) 16:54, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
