info on family deaths[edit]

I don't know how to add or edit to this article, so I was wondering if someone could add that Dog Chapman's sister, Jolene Chapman Martinez died on May 16, 2016 at the age of 61. Here is a link to her obituary that shows she was a sister to Duane "Dog" Chapman. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/denverpost/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=180064961 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.7.234.247 (talk) 06:00, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Needing citation[edit]

This living person's middle name, the names of his parents, and information about the number and gender of his siblings must be cited, according to WP:BLP.

Please also note that according to his own official bio, Chapman was born in 1952, not 1953 as some outlets claim. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:1382:C5DD:F1E4:79C9:F417:3B98 (talk) 18:49, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also government records like birth and marriage indexes are not acceptable sources per WP:BLPPRIMARY. I have removed a chunk about his family history based solely on those sources. Morbidthoughts (talk) 22:33, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Convicted of first or third degree murder?[edit]

I just read through this article after seeing a news story about Mr. Chapman. The article lead and Early Life sections say he was convicted of first degree murder, but the Personal Life section says third degree murder. I think it's probably the latter, as he only received a five-year prison sentence and was able to get out after two years, but I haven't checked any of the citations. Just wanted to bring attention to the discrepancy. Rockhead126 (talk) 23:34, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would say he had to be convicted of third degree murder. 2o only to get 5 years. But I thought that I saw. I'm one of his shows 1 beth was live. That he told one of the bounty food already picked up that he knew what it was like. I'm prison because it's faint 18 years not 18 months however you've gonna. Get away? Driver. Did you know that has friends were gonna kill This guy to get cannabis or was he just caught in the middle? I love the show I'm sorry about Beth dying.I don't know Which article to believe maybe you could participate on It's and let us all know the truth does good. 2603:7081:401:746:85C4:3731:151E:D765 (talk) 03:15, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
