Speedy deletion

This article was nominated for speedy deletion as a copyvio. Given the copyright clearance pasted on the main page which I removed, it isn't a copyvio. It does need a lot of work to turn it into an article but Ms Meyers appears notable enough given reviews from the New York Times and others see Google News [1] and Google News Archive. [2] I will add categories. Capitalistroadster 04:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This person is quite well known in the violin world. I added some info which is referenced, just need to find the reference. I have interviewed some of the Meyers family but don't have any kind of connection with them. VK35 15:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Endorsement

I wonder if it is appropriate to mention her endorsement of a string manufacturer. This looks too much like an advertisement in the article, and it seems of very little significance to her bio. Lots of musicians endorse strings or instruments or something, but I question whether they should be mentioned in Wikipedia unless there is some special significance to the endorsement. Otherwise, it's just more online adware popping up.

I think she is notable enough to merit the article. She has an extensive number of recordings on RCA. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.160.185.160 (talk) 13:03:30, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

Putting strings shouldn't seem like an endorsement unless it says something other than "She uses [insert string type(s)] for her strings" or something like that. Do you realize how many people flood violin forums with posts about "what string does [insert famous violinist here] use?" It is information people care about, but not because they're going to go out and buy that set of strings. Strings can help to explain the tone of a performer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.211.140.168 (talk) 07:55, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Close Connection

I do Annes viral promotion and no one on my team or Anne's team can identify who the close connection 'Bijinista' is. Anne has verified most of the information in this document, is there any way to remove the banner at the top? -- user jaimemorton —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaimemorton (talk • contribs) 16:17, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think that there is an extremely high probability that User:Bijinista is not just someone with a "close" connection to the subject of this article, but is actually Anne Meyers herself. The Conflict of Interest guidelines do not prohibit people from editing their own autobiographical articles, but they recommend that extreme caution should be used - especially when edits may be construed as having an overly rosy or promotional tone. The same guidelines apply to members of her promotional team and any other editors with a close connection to the subject. --DAJF (talk) 01:01, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And your idle speculation is based on ... what, exactly? 98.67.177.205 (talk) 07:31, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
