Speedy delete

[edit]

I notice this has been sent to AfD. The AfD thread has not been opened as of yet, but I feel this article falls under Speedy Deletion criteria A1(a page with little or no context). I'm sorry, I called this one too soon. Of course the page should be kept, as it is refernced well and notable. -Brougham96 (talk) 16:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This Ext link was removed from this article because it didn't work: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-then22oct22,1,2140764.story

While I didn't find that story, I did find one in the LATimes archive here: http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/1149330431.html?dids=1149330431:1149330431&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Oct+22%2C+2006&author=Cecilia+Rasmussen&pub=Los+Angeles+Times&edition=&startpage=B.2&desc=L.A.+THEN+AND+NOW%3B+A+19th+century+firecracker+flames+out+in+her+private+life%3B+Yda+Hillis+Addis%27+writings+about+plucky+women+and+Mexico+brought+her+fame%2C+but+troubled+relationships+with+men+brought+her+down.

The story is for pay so I didn't read it all but the abstract indicates it can provide significant info for this article. Cheers, Pigman 19:41, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Facebook page

[edit]

A person, Cilidus, has removed Yda Addis's Facebook link from her page because, according to Cilidus: "Facebook was not around when Yda Addis was alive." With that type of logic, therefore, it is impossible for Yda Addis to have a Facebook page. But isn't that kind of silly? It is true she was not alive when Facebook was created but neither was Frank Sinatra, George Washington, the very famous painter Leonor Carrington, nor were a number of public individuals who have public Facebook pages. Yda Addis's Facebook page is a public page, not a private one. I believe Cilidus is attempting to vandalize Yda Addis Wikipedia page. Chaos4tu (talk) 01:03, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for finally attempting to communicate. Just like Mrs. Addis, George Washington did not have any personal website, which is why there is no mention of a website in his Wikipedia article, nor did he have a Facebook account. Which of these people are we pretending is George Washington exactly? While some notable deceased people, such as your aforementioned Frank Sinatra, do have websites dedicated to them, Sinatra's website is owned by Frank Sinatra Enterprises, who manage the licensed rights to the works and name of the late Sinatra. Likewise, the website of Leonora Carrington is owned by the Leonora Carrington Foundation and her work is protected by the Artists Rights Society. The Facebook page that you are desperate to have linked does not have any of these rights or further autenticity, and as such it is not fit to be linked from the article. Thank you for understanding.

'Further reading'

[edit]

I've removed the rather cluttered, indiscriminate list below from the article, and place it here for potential future use in article development. MOS:FURTHER recommends a reasonable number of sources. 20+ contemporary newspaper articles is too many, especially if there are subsequent books or scholarly articles that can cover the same content in a less breaking news fashion. Wikipedia articles shouldn't throw everything plus the kitchen sink at readers (WP:NOTEVERYTHING). --Animalparty! (talk) 00:31, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
