TG Time

Is TG Time a reliable source? This link's currently being used as confirmation of the subject's birth name. Better option for verifying the claim? ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:12, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I see User:Bonadea has removed the source. Possible replacement? ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:18, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, sorry, I should probably have removed the claim as well. tvguidetime.com is not a reliable source, and a quick search didn't find any reliable sources for the name, so it shouldn't be included. --bonadea contributions talk 19:25, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Bonadea I've removed for now. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:33, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Re: "noguing"

edit

Currently, the article has the following text in the Career section:

Aja and Leiomy Maldonado criticized Anetra for "noguing", or voguing incorrectly. She's faced controversy for the lack of acknowledgement she has given to the cultural origins of voguing and ballroom. Anetra has defended herself, stating that Las Vegas lacks a ballroom scene so she hasn't had the opportunity to be involved in the community more meaningfully.[1][2][3][4]

I'm not convinced this text is necessary detail for the Career section. Isn't this just the opinions of two people? Aja even backtracked on her comment. Can editors discuss the appropriateness of this text, based on the sources, and whether it belongs in the Career section or elsewhere? ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:19, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Judo

edit

@Kazamzam: Is there a reason you insist on mentioning Taekwondo but not Judo? Can the article not mention both? ---Another Believer (Talk) 13:37, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Another Believer - that's a fair question. The reason I removed judo is because it's not corroborated, let alone mentioned, in any of the other sources and to be honest (no offense to the writers at Pride.com) I think it's an error on their part, particularly given that the article didn't mention taekwondo anywhere - it seems odd that it would be one and not the other if she really did both. Given that there is so much material about taekwondo, including her personal mentions of it in media/on RPDR, it seems odd to me that judo was only present in this one instance. The number of Google results for Anetra with judo, excluding taekwondo, is mainly that article and very little else. So that's my rationale for it. Kazamzam (talk) 18:43, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
