Adult and atheist categories

Four adult categories were unclear, and I removed them "immediately" (= years too late) per policy. Are former porn stars supposed to be categorized like active actresses, or does that make no sense? This must be some solved problem, I just don't know what the solution was, and where it is documented, e.g., not in Category:American pornographic film actresses.

Next issue, assuming that one category is okay, which should it be? Is "bisexual" better—in a cybernetical sense, least loss of information—than "American"? For "pornographic film actors from California" I'd assume that it's better than "American pornographic film actresses", a small loss for the gender info vs. a huge win for the location.

After that it gets bizarre, not unusual in the Fields of Grey, is "LGBT adult models" better than "American female adult models", and why on earth do these rotten cats try to mix four unrelated concepts (occupation, location, gender, sexual preferences)? Categories for cinéastes, vinyl collectors, or industrial musicians would be far more interesting than this ex-job/geo/sex mash-up.

I've also replaced two "atheist" categories by one "existentialist" category. Nobody knows if she's an atheist (as in "no god or goddess at all"), a part-time atheist (as in "still praying occasionally"), or even belongs to Category:Christian existentialists, but I know that BLP-cats are no BS-bingo for best OR-guesses. –84.46.53.95 (talk) 19:08, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Commons OVERcat
Ditto, two LGBT cats retired, covered by two corresponding bisexual categories, the locations (CA or US) are also covered in other cats. –84.46.52.142 (talk) 01:14, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Steam5: Your edit summary Please don't remove the categories, This is for her nationality and the occupations makes no sense for me, the B in Bisexual is the same as in LGBT, the former is a proper subset of the latter (aka "sharper"). We have twelve American and five California categories for the nationality, and as noted above two occupations (musician and writer) are already covered by two corresponding sharper Bisexual categories.
If what you want is some verbatim "United States" in the categories, maybe because "American" could be unclear, it's not done, almost all subcats of Category:United States use "American" or the name of the state, e.g., "Actresses from California" => "Women in California" => "California society" => "Society of the Western United States".
If you think that "California" could be unclear, we can move Sasha Grey down to "Actresses from the Greater Los Angeles Area‎", that's not Mexico. Ditto for other American/Californian categories. What we definitely do not need are LGBT categories to get a U.S. nationality. –84.46.53.140 (talk) 12:33, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Steam5: 3rd opinion invited: –84.46.53.175 (talk) 23:35, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The request made at Third Opinion has been removed (i.e. declined). Like all other moderated content dispute resolution venues at Wikipedia, Third Opinion requires thorough talk page discussion before seeking assistance. If an editor will not discuss, consider the recommendations which are made here. — TransporterMan (TALK) 13:49, 30 April 2019 (UTC) This is an informational posting only and I am not watching this page; contact me on my user talk page if you wish to communicate with me about this.[reply]

@TransporterMan: A discussion consisting of an edit summary and a reply on the talk page is thorough enough, it only needs some expert 3rd party input to get a 2:1 rough consensus.
The WP:DISCFAIL essay is apparently a recipe how to drag unwilling users to WP:ANI, maybe helpful for "hot" disputes, because users trying to follow it would be forced to "cool" down. But here folks—maybe it's "only me"—simply don't know how to clean-up BLP categories. –84.46.52.129 (talk) 00:24, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've downgraded WP:3O to "bogus time waster" for now. Related is⁠sue: #enwiki cats, a never-ending story. –84.46.53.216 (talk) 19:48, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some months later, this is enwiki, they have a rule for everything, I didn't know WP:BLPCAT:

Categories regarding religious beliefs (or lack of such) or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief (or lack of such) or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources.

I've removed Category:Bisexual twitch personalities from Los Angeles and Category:LGBT coffee junkies from California, please don't re-insert the cats before the GA2 review. –84.46.53.211 (talk) 00:24, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@97.113.153.35: The possible BLP vandalism tag is added by an algorithm, the undo was about the missing consensus for your edit. I've reset it again, "narrow" is not always better, clearly she was not only a porn actress. –84.46.53.86 (talk) 08:05, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I also didn't know WP:DUPCAT and the mysteries of non-diffusing subcategories. It means that Category:21st-century American women musicians in addition to Category:21st-century American musicians is not a bug. It also means that enwiki is crazy, but that's no news for me. –84.46.52.214 (talk) 05:05, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ToDo: Find a RS for the Consequences of Love in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, cf. M:I - Fallout - Nightclub Song BASS REMIX on YouTube. Maybe simplify the current convoluted allmusic reference credits with [1] (2016). –84.46.53.188 (talk) 13:26, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

EL2REF Vice done. If you plan to see her in the former Denver city hall check out their dress code, no refunds. –84.46.52.110 (talk) 08:14, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
DJ Harvey at Grand Palais added. The source what-song.com is used in more than 20 articles and lists Consequences of love.

WayBack fun stuff

WayBack archived Grey's myspace incl. her blog.[2] An enwiki spam block hates the blog-URLs, but it's nice to X-check some facts,[3] rescue DP pictures, etc. On this here unusable blog I found the French indie film "life" (2009), removed here, because no RS existed. Photos showing that she helped to design some sex toys also exist, the meanwhile removed "toy awards" were no complete BS. –84.46.52.237 (talk) 17:48, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are at least 8 "Attack of the Show" G4TV clips with Sasha Grey on WayBack. –84.46.52.192 (talk) 14:13, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly 11, two already covered by older YouTube uploads. While at it I've "un-archived" the complete set, and "upgraded" three "HD FLV" (Flash video VP6 codec) to WebM (VP8). Two trailers in these Attack of the Show! videos might be interesting (GFE + Saints Row: The Third), and the Sexpo videos are funny, but sadly WayBack doesn't have the two hours G4 documentary at IMDb. –84.46.53.163 (talk) 17:50, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Obscure info, "LA factory girls" had an email address (maybe not as dead as Google+), Grey Art LLC founded by Sasha Grey Inc. and Low Art LLC had an address, there's an odd discogs entry for Sasha Grey Inc. as record label for a German audio edition of The Juliette Society, a TJS Tumblr, a web domain for a 2009 Grey Art adult film project still redirected to sashagrey.com, and a fresh Sasha Grey™ for fashion.[4] –84.46.52.167 (talk) 10:31, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sasha Grey Inc.  should be mentioned in the article, maybe with the ™ info as source, but I'm not sure where it fits: The intro of #Career is exclusively about 2006…2009, the #Background is actually #Early life—maybe that section should be renamed—and #Personal life is unsuited for business info.
Adding it to #Modeling could work, near the Allure interview 2018, because the ™ source covers 2006…2017, but at the moment I'm lost how to put this into one short English statement. –84.46.53.163 (talk) 18:34, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Missing stuff

Apparently (found in "unarchived" AOTS G4TV videos) she hosted Sexpo Australia in 2009, and was a or the keynote speaker at AEE in 2010. –84.46.52.192 (talk) 14:20, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sexpo fixed here and there, the page was almost killed by a clever vandal. –84.46.52.92 (talk) 03:20, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from the 2010 AVN award video she also said in a published interview that she was married (not only engaged) for some time,[5] but I suggest to ignore this for now, we don't know when this happened, we can only guess (=OR based on one already disqualified TMZ article) when it ended, it's a rathole. –84.46.52.45 (talk) 17:27, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So far I found only .cl/.pe/.ru sources for twitch.tv/SashaGreyStreams outside of her Twitter, not (yet) good enough to mention it on the page, maybe later, if some obvious RS reported it. –84.46.52.103 (talk) 02:07, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's now twitch.tv/SashaGrey and I fixed one video and one playlist description, fortunately nothing to do here so far. Next exercise (for me), figure out why she tries gaming instead of journalism. –84.46.53.116 (talk) 21:23, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should we start a section #Influences for topics like Keisha Grey or this? Please no #Legacy, it drives me mad. –84.46.53.102 (talk) 07:41, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Black Licorice

If Black Licorice at IMDb is correct the red link China Test Girls on the page has to be fixed. It's definitely the same movie, IMDb has China Test Girls in the AKA section of its release notes. Not checking what happened here on this page in July today, but it is easy to guess with the red link: Thanks to the GOCE folks, I still plan a new GA attempt "soon".™ –84.46.52.37 (talk) 03:31, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PH/insights/2018-year-in-review

At the moment the global PH spam block won't let me post an EL mentioning that Grey was their most searched for star in 2018 in three countries (and #5 in Italy) for 2018. I've started a WP:RS/N investigation required for a white list suggestion of those PH/insights on MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist. –84.46.53.211 (talk) 14:39, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Obscure "blpo" lists

Grey is listed on various more or less obscure lists, not all of them wikilinked in the article. It's a BLP policy issue if these lists contain obsolete claims such as "pornographic actress" (skipping the general "actress") or atheist (instead of the far better sourced "existentialist", which is no proper subset of "atheist"). I don't think that we should add all these lists to #See also. Maybe we can collect the known lists here:

As "DEnglish" contributor I'm amazed how enwiki ignores various "lessons learned from 1933-45". –84.46.53.107 (talk) 18:04, 3 January 2020 (UTC) (updated 84.46.52.205 (talk) 09:05, 5 January 2020 (UTC)) (sorted 84.46.52.173 (talk) 17:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC))[reply]

Layout

The layout of this article sucks, ten or more h2 sections are a red flag for me, at the moment we are at eleven h2 sections. The unclear #Background h2 could be an #Early life h3 in a new #Life h2 together with the #Personal life (as is, h3 instead of h2) and the #Activism (h3 as is, but not under #Career).
The unclear #Media Recognition h3 under #Career h2 could belong to the #Reception h2, but actually it is about her 2006…2011 career as porn star, maybe this section should be renamed to #Adult industry, after all she was not only a porn star in this period, but also a director, and founded at least one model agency LA factory girls. –84.46.52.173 (talk) 16:58, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Background" renamed to #Early life as on many BLPs: This small step does not solve the "eleven h2" issue. –84.46.53.116 (talk) 16:29, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
