Talk:Danielle Campbell

Date of birth

Does anybody have a reliable source for her date of birth? The Sun Times article says she's 15, which would put her date of birth in 1994 or early 1995. Another editor suggested 1993 but provided no source. Does anybody have a verifiable exact date? —C.Fred (talk) 15:07, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

its the 31st of janurary! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.28.219 (talk • contribs) 19:49, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

According to whom? —C.Fred (talk) 20:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

• And the verifiable source should be reliable; I don't think that Teen Star Fan Club meets the reliability requirement,[1] especially since there's a "This is only a fan club" disclaimer and a solicitation for fans to send in new entries or "new trivia items." —C.Fred (talk) 15:19, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

TVD

Danielle appeared as Davina on The Vampire Diaries pilot episode for The Originals, even though her scene wasn't aired, she did appeared on the director's cut and it should be listed on the television list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DCF94 (talk • contribs) 01:55, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, someone has posted that Danielle is dating Louis Tomlinson which is not true because [redacted]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I've removed part of your claim because, per WP:BLP, even to put such claims on a talk page, there need to be reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 03:54, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

WP:CITEOVERKILL

This article appears to be suffering a case of Citation overkill. The good refs are: Chicago Tribune, and Deadline Hollywood. The Twitter ref is acceptable to establish her DOB. The other refs all look to be of low-quality (i.e. WP:QUESTIONABLE) – a couple of these look to be interviews, so perhaps they can be moved to being non-inline references. But the rest look like they should be trimmed from the article. In addition, a couple of things – e.g. her Prom casting/role – are in need of better sources.

If there are no objections, I intend to trim back the WP:CITEOVERKILL at this article, while simultaneously looking for a few better quality sources, in the near future. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:28, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

• Add: The following source was once used in the article back in Feb. 2010 (see Talk page, above), but looks like it was cut from the article when it became a 'dead link' – here is the 'archive link' for the Chicago Sun-Times article in question: https://web.archive.org/web/20100214214133/http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/wiser/2041597,CST-FTR-paige11.article --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:33, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

I see this article still has a problem with this – I'll try to remember to get to this soon... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:31, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

"Main role" Vs "Main cast"

Please respect BRD, and discuss your opinion here, before changing the article again, thanks.

To say that Campbell had the "Main role" implies that she was the headliner, and the primary cast member. This is not the case. Even The Originals (TV series) article lists all the characters as "Cast" not as roles. Additionally, it lists her a guest star for season 4 - anybody having a "guest star" status is not a main role.

You also missed out a space between text which I corrected - hence my version was indeed better. That's a triviality though - the main concern is that Campbell was part of the main cast, but not holder of a main role. Chaheel Riens (talk) 07:12, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Two points here: 1) we generally do not try to 'note' "lead role"/"main role"/"supporting role" for actor roles in films in WP:FILMBIO Filmographies (doing so is usually considered to be subjective/WP:OR-y); and 2) the standard format for TV series in WP:FILMBIO is in fact "lead role"/"main role"/"recurring role" – the example in WP:FILMOGRAPHY unfortunately doesn't include an example of "main role", but it does include "recurring role". To keep the terminology consistent, "lead role"/"main role"/"recurring role" is the way to go, and "role" is the accurate term for an individual actor. ("Main cast" would refer to the entire cast, not an individual actor.) And, BTW, on TV shows, "lead roles" can be identified by independent sourcing, "main role" is identified by being billed in the TV show's front-credits, and "recurring role" is usual someone who's a guest star who's appeared in about 5 or more episodes. FWIW. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:31, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

My point is that "role" is singular whereas "cast" is plural. To say that a person has the main role implies that they are the headline star, but to say they are main cast implies that they are part of a group who all have equal billing - which is exactly as you point out above. They are part of a group.

Also, can you clarify the usage of "lead role"/"main role"/"recurring role" - neither WP:FILMBIO nor WP:FILMOGRAPHY support that claim, that I can see, although I may have missed it? Chaheel Riens (talk) 07:38, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

To say they have a "main role" is just to say that they are main-cast credited, it's not to say they are the only person with a "main role" – that would be the "lead role". It doesn't mean they have the "lead role" (which is usually the titular role – e.g. Kristen Bell in Veronica Mars – or sometimes the first actor credited in the show's opening). Campbell was certainly main-cast credited in seasons 1–3, so she had one of the "main roles"... And as I said, unfortunately WP:FILMOGRAPHY went with a "brief" example over a more "complete" one, and so doesn't include an example of someone who had either a "main role" or a "lead role". But I can tell you, it is common practice around WP:FILMBIO articles to use "lead role"/"main role"/"recurring role" – e.g. Nina Dobrev is one such example. I've been working on these for at least two years, if it makes a difference. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:37, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

To follow-up, the singular vs. plural thing is why "role" should be used at the actor articles – the "main cast" is all of the actors who had a "main role". That's why the section headers say "Cast" at TV series articles, because that section lists them all. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:41, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Well, I'm not convinced, but neither am I prepared to edit war over it. I'll offer up some advice though - especially if you've been working on it for two years - propose an update to WP:FILMBIO and WP:FILMOGRAPHY to support such a stance, because otherwise there's no reason to follow such advice. If all you have to support this is "we've always done this" then that's not very convincing, nor does it have to be followed. Much better to propose and include it in either MOS, or WP:FILMBIO. For example, in the above statement you said standard format for TV series in WP:FILMBIO is in fact "lead role"/"main role"/"recurring role" - but as I pointed out; it isn't.

Incorrect dating timeline

Danielle and Colin Woodell have not been dating for a “nearly a decade.” The source mistakenly assumed they started dating in 2014 when Campbell had confirmed on a podcast and on her Instagram account they have been dating since 2018. They only met in 2014 and became friends during filming of The Originals. And they were never on again/off again. https://shows.acast.com/directionally-challenged/episodes/life-lessons-from-set-with-danielle-campbell [2]https://www.instagram.com/p/Co2cqkoLpAZ/?igsh=MXNqaG1yNGJja2JuaA== Heartbeatcities (talk) 00:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
