 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. While some of his projects might have been cancelled, we would need a reliable source or two that states he has quit/ceased working to put a firm "end date" in the infobox.

CHANGE "He has had three subsequent comedy specials: Incorrigible (2015), Man On Fire (2017) and No Pain (2020), all of which aired on Netflix. All four were directed by his father."

This is only partially true. His last special, No Pain, was directed by his brother, Matt D'Elia.

This is verified at the end of the actual special (@~53:40) (Netflix source: https://www.netflix.com/title/81036229?s=a&trkid=13747225&t=cp), as well as from Chris D'Elia himself on his podcast (@~1:10) (YouTube source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3Iq677pGbM&feature=youtu.be&t=70&ab_channel=ChrisD%27Elia).

Well, I would say those aren't reliable sources, but I'm not sure, really. h 05:05, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

EDIT/UPDATE: IMDb source (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11987296/) 2601:501:100:CE60:91F8:C1FE:8598:9DD2 (talk) 00:53, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

We cannot use IMDb as source directly on Wikipedia. Find another source please. Thanks. – robertsky (talk) 12:16, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

"We need something that isn't just 'watch the video to verify.'" But one of the references in the original sentence (reference 13) is a video? Why is the incorrect sentence allowed to have a video source, but my edit isn't? -- 2601:501:100:CE60:69C9:262D:5C94:D7A5 (talk) 00:36, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

On using video as a source, it is discouraged by some and it's probably due to the facts that videos archiving is abysmal; it is faster to parse through text than video; not everyone has Netflix; the video might be geographically locked. On IMDB, it is explicitly a no-no to use IMDb on wikipedia as a reference (except for an exception which does not seem to apply here), see WP:ELP for details. – robertsky (talk) 03:11, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Ok, that all makes sense. I should not have cited IMDb. One more thing: in the sentence I'm trying to change ("All four were directed by his father."), it has 2 references -- 1 and 13. Reference 13 is a video which, as you say, is discouraged. Reference 1 I'm assuming is referring to the part in the article which says, quoting D'Elia, "He’s directed my last three stand-up specials." Three, not four. Which, in my opinion, would make that a bad reference. -- 2601:501:100:CE60:69C9:262D:5C94:D7A5 (talk) 06:58, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Done. Updated, but with another source. – robertsky (talk) 22:37, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
