The information about the recent court decision appears to be largely copied from Reuters news reports. Here is a link to one of them: Fashion designer Galliano fined for copying imagery. Therefore, I am deleting the copied text. Redhookesb 04:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to point the editors of this article to a great piece on movingimagesource.us about William Klein, here: http://www.movingimagesource.us/articles/vietnam-in-fragments-20080604 I'm affiliated with Moving Image Source and cannot post this as an external link myself, but I think it should be added. Moving Image Source is a non-profit interested only in disseminating great criticsm. Thanks. Tom m mus (talk) 14:15, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

– Seeing how the only other William Klein is a disambiguation page, would it make sense to move William Klein (photographer) to William Klein and the current William Klein to William Klein (disambiguation)? Plus other wikipedia articles have this article under William Klein. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 16:57, 12 September 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 00:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Being the only exact title match isn't enough to make the article the primary topic. Can you demonstrate that the photographer has a higher notability than others at the dabpage? 162 etc. (talk) 18:44, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just Googling his name "William Klein" and he's the top result. William Klein, WILLIAM KLEIN, William Klein’s Pictures Will Still Knock You Out, etc. His art galleries are showing up and art profiles. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 18:47, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Added move of associated disambiguation page. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 19:18, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per comment by 162 etc. There are seven men listed upon the William Klein disambiguation page, with no indication that the photographer left such an indelible imprint upon history that his renown dwarfs the combined notability of the remaining six men, two of whom — Will Klein (baseball) and Bill Klein (businessman) — each uses a parenthetical qualifier in the same manner as William Klein (photographer) so that Will Klein as well as Bill Klein can serve as redirects to the William Klein dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:24, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Klein's Age at Death

The page lists both the ages 94 and 96. 96 is the accurate age for Mr. Klein's death. 173.54.137.170 (talk) 21:27, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong year of birth

According most common information and some interviews William was born in 1928 (not 1926) 213.111.89.175 (talk) 19:42, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
