Deletion?

Why delete it? Christopher has had a book published and has been in the media continually since Madonna's tours in the early 1990s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dunc1971 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 19 July 2008 (UTC) DO NOT DELETE IT —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.187.193.156 (talk) 01:50, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Drug use not true

The book does NOT say Madonna was a promiscuous drug user. He mentions that in her early NYC days she tried pot and ecstasy but has a no drug policy in her life. She condemned his own drug use. I have deleted that statement.Hilljayne (talk) 04:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Guy Ritche

It refers to him as Madonna's ex-husband, however in context, the article says that Ciccone made remarks about him in his book, which was written and published when Madonna and Ritchie were still married. Agreement that it should be rewritten to "then-husband Guy Ritchie" to help illustrate these comments were made when they were still married? 12.162.122.6 (talk) 16:11, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep separate article

This article shouldn't be redirected to the book Life with My Sister Madonna. Christopher Ciccone has a career outside of his work with Madonna. That article is more about the critical reception of the book rather than his actual career. That book was released in 2008 and he has released a shoe line since. He had an art exhibition and he worked as a video director for prominent artists before that book was released. He meets the notability requirement for an article. I've added cited information on his life and career.--Twixister (talk) 06:38, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with you. Certainly, Christopher own career goes beyond his notable book. He worked for other notable artists after Madonna, and has had more appearances/literature/public consciousness that figures accepted in Wikipedia with articles like Emily Zamourka (known only for a brief "viral video") without any encyclopedic value. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 12:48, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
