The only reliable source I've found that Wilson graduated from his master's program is the May 2012 commencement program on the University of Wisconsin website. I'd like to be able to add another source though if anyone can find one. '''] <sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>''' 13:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC) |

There have been a couple edits recently adding and removing NC State from the infobox. Is there any consensus on this? The ] infobox lists both colleges that he attended, while ] only lists Auburn even though he attended three schools. Wilson however graduated from both NC State and Wisconsin so his situation is a bit different. '''] <sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>''' 22:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC) |

Found a few sources that would be useful for expanding this section if anyone wants to work on it (, ). The Gaston Gazette has a few good articles in their archives about his college baseball stuff. Turns out Wilson was drafted twice - once by the Baltimore Orioles right out of high school. '''] <sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>''' 17:08, 28 August 2012 (UTC) |

All right, I removed the part about his favorite TV show only to have it reverted and told to discuss it here. The fact that we'd even consider such unencyclopedic material is absolutely ludicrous to me. Who disagrees? ] (]) 18:56, 8 September 2012 (UTC) |

:Wilson has said that his favorite TV show is '']''. I understand that it may seem like "unnecessary" info but it is cited material and there are no ] issues with it. As an example of something similar, the first line under the Personal Life heading in ] (which currently has Good Article status) says "Sanchez is an avid fan of musical theatre" so this type of material isn't without precedent.

::::All right, that's true, but I don't think this is necessary for comprehensive coverage on Wilson. A question I like to ask is, "In x (for the sake of argument here let's say 5) years is anyone going to want to know x (in this case what his favorite tv show five years ago is)" By that time, I'd guess it'd be something else. Also, there is no way to verify in 2 months what his favorite TV show is. Even in Sanchez's case, the statement is that he's a fan of theatre, not a specific show, but theatre in general. ] (]) 19:09, 8 September 2012 (UTC) |

:::::I think this is a question of prose. You're right that in five years this info will be outdated and probably no longer accurate. Maybe it should be changed to "In 2012, Wilson said" or something along those lines. But this is a living document so it's impossible to write this article in the context of what will make sense five years from now. Five years ago, the first line of this article would've said "Russell Wilson is a quarterback at NC State." '''] <sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>''' 19:16, 8 September 2012 (UTC) |

::::::Yes, but that had to do with something garnering continuing coverage...I doubt it receives major press if and when he changes his favorite TV show. I guess I would be OK with it being changed to "In 2012", but I still think that this is not encyclopedic information, but I'll stipulate to consensus. Let's wait a day or two and see if anyone else comments. ] (]) 19:19, 8 September 2012 (UTC) |

:::::::Sounds good. Another option I'll throw out there is that since he said it in the context of being named the starter (he was asked by a reporter how he celebrated being named the starter and responded that he watched a few episodes of his favorite show, Entourage), perhaps the sentence could be changed to reflect that? It would solve the problem of becoming outdated and would provide more context too. '''] <sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>''' 19:24, 8 September 2012 (UTC) |
