Joe's birth first name

While the article say Joe's first name is "Joseph", I believe this is because Kit mentioned in an interview that he called him "Joseph", but this could be just a term of endearment, rather than his real first name. There is no reliable citation on this neither, unless someone could locate one, I believe the birth name should read "Joe William Locke". Aviator006 (talk) 21:27, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph[1], William[2]. These two sources are in "Early life and education" section. 7szz (talk) 20:16, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

'Joe Lycett's Big Pride Party' - add to filmography?

Joe [Locke] was credited under "Guests" in the credits of the show due to his appearance. Should this be added to his list of Filmography or left out as he was briefly interviewed in the show? B1t3j (talk) 13:42, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not an example of his work as an actor.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:52, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with @Bbb23, it should only include work that they perform as an actor. Hence, appearance on Celebrity Googlebox should not be considered, as they are not performing per se.Aviator006 (talk) 14:07, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of Agatha: Coven of Chaos to filmography table

I've requested page protection since the repeated addition of his unknown role in the series before it is confirmed to be filming is against WP:FILMOGRAPHY. —Joeyconnick (talk) 01:07, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Joe Locke (actor) → Joe Locke – Following two high-profiles roles in critically acclaimed series (Netflix's Heartstopper and Marvel's Agatha All Along), the actor has clearly surpassed the other primary-topic contender, Joe Locke (musician), by a wide margin. Note that both articles were only created recently (2020 and 2021, respectively). The all-time pageviews can dispel any concerns with recentism. See also WikiNav. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - 69:1 pageviews is more than enough, and long-term significance is clear. I'm not quite sure what the nom @InfiniteNexus is proposing be done with the existing dab page, whether it be deleted to make way for the move or moved to Joe Locke (disambiguation), though I presume the former and I support either. estar8806 (talk) ★ 00:06, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The DAB page can be deleted. Per WP:ONEOTHER, a hatnote is sufficient. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:18, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Seems like a clear primary topic, meriting deletion of the disambiguation page. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:50, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support primary topic, as pointed out above. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:15, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:34, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. He's very clearly the Primary Topic given the evidence provided in the OP. --Turtletennisfogwheat (talk) 00:33, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Name of Agatha All Along character

In the lead, it says Locke plays Billy Maximoff/William Kaplan--which he does, but that's a huge spoiler for the show. Should that be changed to what the character is known by for the first half of the series (Teen)? JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333 (correct me if I'm wrong) 00:30, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:SPOILERS. We do not avoid spoilers on Wikipedia. Natg 19 (talk) 02:13, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. Thanks! JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333 (correct me if I'm wrong) 16:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
