Hey buddy, don't just redirect his stuff without any sort of discussion, especially considering he has other work besides his Sonic work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.205.226 (talk) 02:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TSSZ

This article cites several news articles on TSSZ, which was abruptly shut down by its owner around a month ago (as of 18 JUL 2020). If this article wishes to continue citing references for it , it will need an archived article or find another source, if one exists. Its likely to just go uncited, if thats an option. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:12A0:C470:389A:8F9:EE10:1C3F (talk) 03:36, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Twitter

Just add his post about the riots and him wanting a coup JohnPaos (talk) 15:50, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Extremely late, but WP:UNDUE. ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 15:01, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

His political takes

Should or should we not add in his bad takes on politics since they are usually bad or pro establishment or some form of elitism? One example is his two tweets on the ongoing rittenhouse trial 2601:193:4103:FA40:6577:D890:6EE6:3149 (talk) 19:01, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Even if we can source his Tweets by default per WP:BLPSELFPUB, we should keep WP:UNDUE in mind, as his political beliefs do not appear to be widely discussed in reliable sources. Also we should not add our own interpretations of his political statements per WP:OR and WP:BLPREMOVE. Sheesh, because of how controversial this person is within the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom, everyone should read WP:BLP before editing the article or adding comments on its talk page. ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 01:12, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Face for profile

Is it ok for someone to post his face on to his page? 2601:193:4103:FA40:6577:D890:6EE6:3149 (talk) 19:03, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Photos of living people who are still active in the appearance they are notable as must be of free licensing per WP:NFC#UULP. Photos of him so far do not appear to be free. ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 01:12, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Scourge the Speed Demon

I wonder if it's ok to mention an incident where Penders licensed a character to an independent comic book company, but this book was cancelled in a week due to a public backlash? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrueUtopian (talk • contribs) 15:35, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Would his twitter page count or no? Persesus (talk) 14:57, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life

It is ok to mention Penders personal life partner and children, as they get referenced in his work? (Bernadette, who he names one of his characters; his son and niece who appear in Sonic Live, written by him) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrueUtopian (talk • contribs) 15:35, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He sued over 2 dollars

Accourding to his twitter and the r/FuckKenPenders subreddit, he revealed that he effectively sued over 2 dollars Charliephere (talk) 23:32, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He only owns publishing rights

He only owns publishing rights to some of the characters he claims to own, most are derived from characters or design templates owned by sega so his use of any characters tied to a sega-made character or their species/design is illegal without the sonic licence Charliephere (talk) 23:35, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
