Twitter

Twitter account added was not a verified account. We should be able to articulate a path from a reliable source that leads to this account. Always suspect posers and some of them are quite good. A posting referencing this account from a verified account from someone who would definitely know McCormick would be OK. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:20, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is definitely her account: [1], I wouldn't add if it wasn't. China Anne McClain's account, which is verified follows her. This post should more than prove that is really her: [2]. Twitter is notorious for taking a while to verify celebrity accounts, especially if the person is not a household name. QuasyBoy 04:30, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good enough. I tagged it instead of deleting it because I do trust your judgment. I just wanted to see the proof documented. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:37, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. QuasyBoy 04:42, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Future non-Disney roles

I've been debating whether I should add this or not, but there seems to be some evidence that Sierra has been auditioning for roles that aren't as kid-friendly as those on A.N.T. Farm and other Disney shows. Somebody posted a link from a Russian website with an audition for the upcoming 2013 Clark Gregg flick "Trust Me." (http://vk.com/video-21020753_163728280?hash=6aa39763dc31a37a). The part she was aiming for went to Saxon Sharbino instead, but the leak of the audition looks like an indication of where she wants her career to go. So should we write this in somehow or what? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 00:59, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Who?

There are references to a McClain and a China in the article with no prior mention of either name. A China Anne McClain is listed as a costar in a music video in a table later in the article. I assume these are all references to the same person. Would be nice (ie actual competent writing) for all this to be explained in the article. --Khajidha (talk) 00:15, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Hi, there's currently an edit war inregards to the infobox,
I've removed it based on all of what's in the infobox (bar her residence) is directly on the left ... therefore making it redundant,
Geraldo Perez has reverted citing her calculated age is in it and therefore shouldn't be removed,

So I wanted to get others opinions on this, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 16:18, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly object to removal. It calculates and displays her age. It shows years active. It correctly summarizes key info in the article so of course it is redundant, it is meant to be. It is standard for bio articles to have infobox and it is expected by readers. There is no valid reason to remove it. Leave it as it was until you get consensus to remove. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:03, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It displays everything that is currently to the left of said infobox, Not all articles have infoboxes and many articles have reached consensus not to have them[3],

Given I've completely ignored BRD here it would be rather unwise of me to continue edit warring would it not?, Consensus shall be sought. –Davey2010^Talk 18:08, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It does not display everything as I noted. Age and years active are only displayed in the inbox and are expected for actor articles. It should have a discussion and consensus gained in that discussion for it to be removed. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:20, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well it does as I too have noted. Hence why I stated "Consensus shall be sought". –Davey2010^Talk 18:22, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should this article have an infobox

Should this article have an infobox? –Davey2010^Talk 18:24, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No - As I've stated above everything in the infobox (bar residence) is directly on the left of it therefore IMHO making an infobox redundant. –Davey2010^Talk 18:24, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: My own rule of thumb is that a BLP infobox should have more than 3 items to be viable. This one has four items (five, if you want to count the DOB and the location-of-birth as separate items), which would be the bare minimum. Therefore, it's borderline for inclusion... I guess I'm on the fence. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:25, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No I don't think its necessary. If there was more relevant and cited information in the article then maybe, but for now i agree with User:Davey2010. Cook907 (talk) 18:30, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - Although it is "skimpy" it does slightly improve overall quality of the page. Meatsgains^(talk) 20:02, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it It is not true that everything in the infobox is directly to the left of it in the lead. The infobox calculates and displays her age. It shows years active. It shows her residence. It summarizes key info in the article so of course it is redundant, it is meant to be. It is standard for actor bio articles to have an infobox and it is expected by readers. There is no reason to remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geraldo Perez (talk • contribs) 01:48, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(Summoned by bot) The "everything's on the left" argument is not helpful; the point of an infobox is to quickly summarise the basic information and, if possible, have an image to hang that information on; everything in it, therefore, should already be elsewhere in the article or "on the left" if, as here, the article is particularly short. I see no reason to delete the thing, in the hope that at some point the subject will become older, more interesting, and, perhaps, more notable; in that case, more can be added to the infobox.

(Summoned by bot) Yes I would hope that everything in the infobox is in the article body as the infobox is a summary of information included in the article. Bonewah (talk) 15:29, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
