Middle name

edit

Lots of editors are adding a middle name, nobody has provided a reliable source. IMDb isn't a reliable source for bio info per WP:RS/IMDB. WP:BLPPRIVACY says info must be "widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object.". She has a verified twitter account, maybe someone can ask her and if she answers there can use that as reliable self-published source that meets needs of WP:BLPPRIVACY. Middle name is nice-to-have info but is in no way necessary to be in article as it adds nothing to understanding of this person.

A recent site mentioned in an edit summary and not as an in-article cite, likely getting its info from IMDb, http://healthyceleb.com/disclaimer/ and http://healthyceleb.com/terms-of-use/ has no reputation for fact checking and focus of site is not on biographical info and also states "Information on the site may contain errors or inaccuracies; the Website does not make any warranty as to the correctness or reliability of the sites content." and "Other articles and content are opinion based (or commentary) and should not be considered factual".

Agreed. This is no different than anything else. Just about everything requires sources, especially things about actors and actresses; otherwise, it's WP:OR or a WP:BLP issue. Amaury (talk) 03:59, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Agreed per BLP norms. IMDb is not suitable. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:58, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
