I think ot should be specified that the Basque Country is a region of Spain, because many people may think that its an independent country and that is not true. Also, for those who say that this information its redundant, many celebrity pages here in wikipedia (Such as Viggo Mortensen or Scarlette Johansson) include parent’s (and even grandparent’s) hometowns and countries of origin. Why is that information not redundant on those pages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.128.235.142 (talk) 15:01, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Not done for now: What image do you have in mind? Keep in mind we have a WP:Image Use Policy and we can't just go grab any picture we like due to copyright laws. Cannolis (talk) 03:50, 27 January 2024 (UTC)@Joeyconnick: Just wanted to bring this to the talk page to avoid further edit warring. Until we've resolved this, I'll try to hold off on adding anything, but I just wanted to discuss the info regarding his height being notable. Removing the information about him being regarded for his height on the basis that he is notable for his acting is, like I said in my edit summary, a false dilemma—he can be, and is, notable for both. Michael Jackson is notable for his music, but that doesn't negate the fact that his appearance and health are also notable enough for their own article on Wikipedia due to the wide variety of sources that address them in depth.
Conversely, Elordi's height does not, at this point, warrant its own article, but it undeniably has gotten enough coverage to permit, at the very least, inclusion in the article. This Vulture essay from this month is entirely about his height, as is this 2020 article from The Cut. This Vox article about his career in 2023 begins with the sentence, "There is no man in Hollywood as tall, as popular, or as beautiful as Jacob Elordi,
" and goes on to discuss his height further ("How can a man tall enough (6'5", as we are legally obligated to note)
", "Even his enormous height gets a babygirl reaction
", ...well, if you haven't heard, he is tall.
") Other, more routine coverage of Elordi from Men's Health, People, and PinkNews includes articles also exclusively about the effect his height had on his acting career.
Even if it is not an integral part of his acting career on the surface, the source material makes it clear that his height is an essential part of his public image. Would like to hear what you have to say as well. benǝʇᴉɯ 20:36, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
in a profession where height could make or break [his] careeris subjective, especially since the aforementioned sources are exclusively about how Elordi's height is unique in Hollywood, like the Vulture article, which contains the quote, "Still, some of those same insiders told me that in certain cases an actor's height can remain a deal-breaker."
Generally remov[ing] height info from actors' pagesis not an enshrined policy nor is it all-encompassing since plenty of articles about actors do include their heights when they are described by RSs as notable (i.e., Kristin Chenoweth, James Cromwell, Richard Moll) as is the case here. Saying that height is not notable for actors
unless they modelledis not only untrue as per the previously linked actor BLPs and the fact that it is not policy but also a moot point anyway, since Elordi did attempt modeling, as is mentioned in his "Early life" section (Dolph Lundgren's exact height is not mentioned in his article, but his being tall is many times, specifically in relation to his attempts at modeling).
required for a general audience to understand the subject, then the article would stop at the lede. The vast majority of articles about his height do not
"oh my gosh *swoon*"(as you put it)
over his heightand are relatively objective in their coverage of it, and arguing that
we're not the entertainment pressnegates the fact that the sources relied on throughout the entire article to determine that he is notable are from the entertainment press. benǝʇᴉɯ 10:00, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

he gained prominence with his role as Noah Flynn, the bad boy love interest in the The Kissing Booth film trilogy (2018–2021) on Netflix.Perhaps "he gained prominence for his role as Noah Flynn, in the Netflix film series The Kissing Booth (2018-2021)."
He also became known for his main role as the troubled high school football player Nate Jacobs on the HBO teen drama series Euphoria (2019–present).This is vague and need reword plus following up with comma after the first sentence. Perhaps "Nate Jacobs in HBO's teen drama series Euphoria (2019–present).

His father John Elordi was a painter who immigrated to Australia from the Basque Country at 8 and the mother Melissa Elordi, was a former cafeteria attendant at Jacob's school—his elder brother and three sisters." Do not link anything as they are unnecessary
While a player on his school's rugby team, Elordi performed in school musicals starting at age 12, starring in productions of Seussical and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and he soon began taking acting classes. Reword perhaps "While playing for his school's rugby team at 12, he also started in the production of Seussical and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which prompted him to take acting classes."
He has stated that he was first inspired to become an actor by Heath Ledger, particularly because of his role in the 2008 film The Dark Knight. He also played Oberon in a school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.Reword and paraphrased perhaps will say, "He started with playing the role of Oberon in a play in his school entitled same as William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. He stated being influenced by Heath Ledger after watching him in the 2008 film The Dark Knight."
