Notability of Subject

As the notability of the subject is in dispute here, would someone please outline what part of WP:BIO this subject meets? Alan.ca 09:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the duo passes WP:BIO but the girls individually do not. However, given that I have been falsely accused of vandalism for boldly redirecting the two pages and given that I really don't care enough about this issue to put up with that level of aggravation, I am withdrawing from the discussion following this posting. Otto4711 16:23, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Otto4711, you didn't vandalize at all; I never said you did. All I said in my summaries was that you didn't discuss the change on the talk pages first. I was always taught that major changes should be discussed first. If you thought that I called you a vandal, I'm sorry. You are not a vandal. Acalamari 16:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge discussion

This article has very little independent information. All of the information in the three articles should be collected into the article on the duo, and the sisters' articles should just redirect there.Kww (talk) 20:15, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was discussed here and at Talk:Aly & AJ last year. Consensus seemed to favor leaving everything separate. --Bongwarrior (talk) 20:40, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While they are in the duo, they both have there independent work and I think keeping them seperated allows for them to be seen as individuals (which they are). --Iroc24 (talk) 17:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]




This is my first time I've changed an article's tag, but I'm following WP:be_bold. The tag has been here intermittently(sp?) since 2007. The discussion that took place on the Aly+AJ page last year seemed evident that "no merge" came out of it. The highlights of the argument were: Aly does meet wp:notable (no comment on AJ, whether or not she is notable outside of the duo belongs on AJ's page or the Aly+AJ page but not here), additionally she is 19 and active in her career (she has two movies contracted for 08/09 as well as a planned album in 2009) so its a growing case for notability, for those who believe she is only marginal notable (but don't dismiss her notability based on analogies--strictly read the notability:checklist and compare it to the facts and discussion over at the aly+aj page).

I am not basing this on my own preference or private agenda, as I'm attaching my signature to this. I feel very confident I can defend the action because I have thoroughly reviewed the wp:notability, and I have reviewed the facts, and I have applied one to the other. Additionally, over half of the discussion participants also agreed that she is notable outside of Aly+AJ enough to justify her own article. Lastly, consensus has already been reached (especially at other page, but here too) so I'm merely taking the action of removing the tag and this action is consistent with wp:policy and with the overall conclusion of the group of editors of both pages (collectively). If someone feels I have erred, feel free to add the merge tag back to the article, and discuss below your reasons and let me reply. Sentriclecub (talk) 03:11, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suspending the Merge tag (Amanda's article)

I'm getting rid of the same tag for AJ. They each have growing notability individually, and I see no reason to combine the pages. If nothing else, they have different filmographies. And, eventually, one or the other of them is going to get married or something, creating separate personal life sections. This has been thoroughly discussed for Alyson and is much the same for Amanda. Cowgod14 (talk) 16:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of her birthday?

Why was her birthday removed? It's very encyclopaedic and IMDB at the least has her birthday listed. I'm sure there are multiple places her birthday is listed, it seems public knowledge. Sorry, I just happened upon this by chance LOL Kb5694 (talk) 09:18, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting

[1] Year ranges which include a dash do not sort correctly for readers using some versions of Safari. An easy fix is to avoid using dashes, eg (2002 to 2004 rather than 2002–2004). An IP editor has elected to remove this fix over objections. We generally do a number of things to to wikitext to facilitate relatively small numbers of readers in other ways. Do editors agree in reducing or obstructing functionality when a simple fix is available? Gimmetoo (talk) 23:27, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. I've applied the {{sort}} template to the two ranges with dashes; they should now sort as if they read, for example, "2002 to 2004" even though the display text is "2002–2004". —C.Fred (talk) 01:07, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This fix is unwarranted for a browser with a fraction of a percent usage. It obfuscates the wiki-text for 100% of users. Please revert to the MOS form. 125.162.150.88 (talk) 02:39, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The text is displaying correctly for me for both Safari (albeit a current version) and Firefox. What's your objection with the current form? —C.Fred (talk) 03:04, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It works correctly for me, either way (with modern browsers). My objection is that it is unwarranted to make such a 'fix' for so few users. For the vast majority of editors, the MOS form is sufficient and the fact that it does not work for a very few should not drive the format that all editors must deal with (in the editbox). Somewhere, someone is still running Mosaic; it prolly doesn't' work for them, either, and we don't care. Users of deficient browsers do not warrant this clutter being inflicted on all editors. Most readers (and editors) don't even see the sort controls. 125.162.150.88 (talk) 04:16, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The fix is easy; why do you refuse to use it, and routinely undo my edits? (Note that {{sort}} may need to be applied to *all* ranges for the {{sort}} fix to work correctly; User:RexxS agreed that using "2002 to 2004" works for everyone.) What percent use does JAWS have? Gimmetoo (talk) 04:56, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

explained above; UNWARRANTED. 125.162.150.88 (talk) 04:59, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, it wasn't. Try again. RexxS agreed that using "2002 to 2004" works for everyone. This doesn't "obfuscate the wiki-text". So why, specifically, do you refuse to allow its use, routinely reverting any edit which fixes sorting in this manner? Gimmetoo (talk) 05:01, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It. Is. Unwarranted. For. A. Dead. Browser. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.162.150.88 (talk) 05:06, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is a browser that some segment of readers use. Again, specifically, why do you refuse to allow a fix that makes the sorting functionality work correctly for that segment of readers? Gimmetoo (talk) 05:11, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
WP:YEAR, part of the Manual of Style, says "Year ranges, like all ranges, are normally separated by an en dash, not a hyphen or slash". Thus, "2002 to 2004" is non-standard per the MOS. The sorting issue is not a sufficient reason to have the nonstandard text visible. —C.Fred (talk) 05:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"normally"? When something suggested by the MOS doesn't work for a segment of readers? So the MOS absolutely and unquestionably overrules any other consideration? Is that what you are saying? Gimmetoo (talk) 05:11, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No. However, when there's a solution that presents the text per the format recommended by the MOS and sorts the table properly, I don't see a reason not to use that solution. —C.Fred (talk) 05:34, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That said, if en-dashes in ranges are routinely affecting table sort order, that's a matter that needs to taken to discussion at the talk page for WP:MOSNUM or at the appropriate biography or television WikiProject page. —C.Fred (talk) 05:42, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a gossip column. We don't typically report every person a celebrity dates; only marriages and other similar long-term relationships should be mentioned in the article. —C.Fred (talk) 19:34, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm raising the red flag of reliability. It's a personal page, not an official Facebook page. —C.Fred (talk) 15:31, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

but C.Fred thats all the proof i have why cant you accept it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silentisgood (talk • contribs) 16:03, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because it doesn't comply with WP:RS. —C.Fred (talk) 16:08, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

how can i make it comply with wp:RS C.Fred? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silentisgood (talk • contribs) 16:27, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally, find it reported in a newspaper or other source that is reliable. Secondarily, prove unequivocally that the Facebook account in question is owned by Michalka—something similar to the verification of accounts that Twitter does. —C.Fred (talk) 16:41, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That page is not verified by Facebook, so I would not consider it a reliable source. —C.Fred (talk) 23:43, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
