Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see info box)
Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.
Try to expand stubs. Ideas and theories about life, however, are prone to generating neologisms, so some stubs may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process).
State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

I've removed this film from his filmography. It's not listed on his IMDB page, nor is he listed on the film's IMDB page. I can also find no other reference online to him having appeared in the film. The full film is at the time of writing available to watch on Youtube and I skipped to the credits to check if he's there and he isn't. I suspect it may have been vandalism when it was added originally; if he was in the film it was uncredited, but (for obvious reasons) I'm unwilling to actually sit through the film to double check if he's definitely not in it.
When did he decide the s at the end was enunciated in his French name? I suppose he can ask people to say it however he wants, but is there a source for that? Or are we just being descriptivist about it? Elmeter (talk) 11:27, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It says Ricky Dene Gervais (/dʒərˈveɪz/ jər-VAYZ) at the top, but there is no citation. People don't usually say their own name that much, so maybe someone can find a video of him saying it. I would not put the s on the end when saying it, personally. Elmeter (talk) 18:38, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The current source here does not seem to support that claim. It just says his father "... was born 1919 in Ontario." So a first step might be to find an actual supporting source? Martinevans123 (talk) 21:08, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
