Criticism of Steadman[edit]

I removed the following two sentences.

The Chiefs were a laughingstock on the field during Steadman's tenure as President and later Chairman. Only after he was removed from those positions did the Chiefs begin to regain some small bit of the on-field credibility they enjoyed during their early glory years.

In recent years, Steadman's reputation has been sullied by overt cash grabs on behalf of the Chiefs. He was instrumental in a local campaign that used lies, distortions and character smears to gain some $400 million for the Chiefs to "renovate" Arrowhead Stadium. More recently, he and team owner Lamar Hunt employed even dirtier shenanigans in a complex series of maneuvers intended to invalidate a clause in the $400 million deal that would have brought the Chiefs another $21 million with no strings attached.

The first can be put back by discussing the Chief records during his tenure. The second point needs attribution and further explanation. As written now it's defamatory. Americasroof 20:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs disambiguation as member of British Indie band Bombay Bicycle Club is also called Jack Steadman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.138.7 (talk) 17:52, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Would this be better at Jack W. Steadman or as Jack Steadman (sports executive)? 109.255.211.6 (talk) 11:54, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 29 June 2024[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Jack Steadman (American football executive) (non-admin closure) Quadrantal (talk) 19:22, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Steadman → Jack Steadman (American football) – ... or Jack Steadman (sports executive) or similar. Doesn't appear to be the WP:PRIMARY TOPIC due to Jack Steadman (musician) having a similar or possibly greater profile. See also that latter page for a related move discussion. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 13:00, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support in view of the above-mentioned currently active nomination, Mr Jukes → Jack Steadman (musician) at Talk:Mr Jukes#Requested move 28 June 2024. As for the parenthetical qualifier, Steadman was not a player, thus "Jack Steadman (American football)" would not be as intuitive as "Jack Steadman (American football executive)", analogous to such men as Kevin Abrams (American football executive), Mike Brown (American football executive), John Butler (American football executive), David Caldwell (American football executive) or Eddie Jones (American football executive), listed under Category:National Football League general managers. Jack Steadman can then become a disambiguation page listing both men along with section header "See also" pointing to the John Steadman (disambiguation) page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:39, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your courtesy links to those other examples. Support the suggested amended qualifier of Jack Steadman (American football executive). 109.255.211.6 (talk) 18:17, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Mr Jukes generally gets many more views[[1]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:13, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
