Change the statement of “Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast” as a history podcast to a comedy podcast. The podcast is not a history podcast, it is a comedy podcast that delves into history in these few instances with Louis CK. JClay44 (talk) 04:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've just removed the word "history" and it now says that it is "a podcast hosted by comedians ...", which hopefully communicates the point. — Bilorv (talk) 11:22, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual misconduct allegations in own section

As a fan of Louis CK and as someone who is largely okay with him returning to comedy, it's still a little strange for me that his sexual misconduct allegations are described - allbeit in full - in a subsection paragraph of his career.

They are a prominent part of his life and career and should be in their own top level section after both his career and personal life. It doesn't do their significance justice otherwise. 79.66.8.116 (talk) 10:18, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:CSECTION, "best practice is to incorporate positive and negative material into the same section", in order to follow a neutral point of view and due weight considerations. As you say, this is a part of C.K.'s career, and that's why it should be within that section. — Bilorv (talk) 11:26, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should "Louis C.K.: Back to the Garden" be listed with the rest of his comedy specials?

It was a ticketed livestream event with a 10 day streaming window. Does that make it too disctinct for inclusion? CanningIO (talk) 21:46, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd include it, though it could do with some secondary sources in the body. (At the minimum: what were its themes? What did critics think?) — Bilorv (talk) 18:29, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Totally a special, imo. Surprised not to see it there.--109.110.78.228 (talk) 22:17, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
