Talk:Brynn Hartman

Untitled

'at it's highest point and rising' ???? is this possible???  ;)

The categories for this entry are all messed up. Fictional Personifications of Evil?

Apperently someone listed her under that category, as well as several [others], as a prank of sorts.

The eye?

It may be irrelevant, but the Phil Hartman article states that Mrs Hartman killed herself by a shot to the temple, not to the right eye, unlike this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.49.176.33 (talk) 19:35, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Merge

Shouldn't this be merged into or redirected to Phil Hartman? There's virtually nothing in this article which can't be found there, and she isn't specifically notable to justify her having her own article. Funkynusayri (talk) 07:02, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment She did have some small roles as an actress, which is evidence of individual notability. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 18:29, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

• That's pretty much the only thing unique to this article, and could easily be mentioned in the other one. Funkynusayri (talk) 18:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
  • But the other article isn't about Brynn, it's about Phil Hartman and unless you want to rename it to "Phil and Brynn Hartman" I'd oppose a merge. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
• This is the only unique content of this article: "Hartman acted in small roles on television and film, playing a waitress in the Elijah Wood film North and a Venusian on 3rd Rock from the Sun. She met her husband while working as a Catalina swimsuit model. She can also be seen during the early 1990s opening credit sequence of Saturday Night Live, having dinner with Hartman (her back to the camera)". All that could just be summarised as a side note when she is mentioned in the Phil article. Somewhere here: "Hartman married Brynn Omdahl on November 25, 1987,[2] Brynn having become pregnant on the pair's third date.[3] Together they had two children, Sean Edward Hartman (born 1989) and Birgen Anika Hartman (born 1992).[2] Brynn was said to be jealous of Hartman's success. She made comments to Hartman's Saturday Night Live co-star Jan Hooks that maybe Hooks and Phil were married "on some other level."[3] A friend recalled that Brynn "had trouble controlling her anger... She got attention by losing her temper". One sentence is enough, she is utterly non-notable. Funkynusayri (talk) 19:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
  • She was involved in a high profile murder case and a google news search gets 116 hits (which is pretty good considering that this was 1998), so she sounds pretty notable to me. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
• And everything about her and the case is already covered extensively in the Phil Hartman article. As I said, the only unique part of this article is an already short section which seems to have been stretched to the very limit. Funkynusayri (talk) 19:15, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. They're two different people. Merging her in Phil's article would only cause confusion. Fuzzform (talk) 05:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
• They're two different people, yes, the difference is that one is notable while the other is not. She is only notable for being Phil's wife and for murdering him, which is already covered extensively in his article. Her name could redirect to the part about her killing him, which would avoid confusion. Funkynusayri (talk) 05:04, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Brynn is not notable outside of the murder she caused. Her being married to a notable individual does not confer notability and a person is not notable if that notability is the result of a single action. All of the information discussed in her article is discussed in the Phil Hartman article excluding her early life (which is of really no consequence since Brynn herself is non-notable) and bit roles she played as an actress. I doubt she meets the notability requirements of an actress and therefore this can not be used as proof of notability. . Google hit number is NOT a way to prove notability as her name is only found in relation to her involvement in the murder of her husband. How long will this debate continue until it is either merged or the debate taken to the next step and a RfC opened? Or I could do the merge myself and go ahead and nominate this article for deletion as it is completely unsourced and many statements unverifiable without the sources... will381796 (talk) 20:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
