Talk:Chloe East

Birthdate

I have updated Chloe's birthdate based on an instagram post she made on the 16th February 2019 in which she had the caption "hello adult years" — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoboBongoCuckooCop (talk • contribs) 08:33, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Chloe East has been married for over a year as confirmed on her Instagram & YouTube.

Please note this marriage? 108.53.141.251 (talk) 01:41, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

We need specific sources – What are they? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:26, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm sorry but she publicly admitted to her marriage, what's specific sources should I set myself then? Unless you want me to go to California's City Hall. BalticBowser (talk) 23:38, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Also Google has the dignity to update with the actual facts than Wikipedia, of all places. BalticBowser (talk) 23:39, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Secondary sources are preferred over primary, and per WP:BLPPRIMARY, don't use public records solely to back the marriage. And even more importantly, changing her name in the article must be backed my multiple, high quality, secondary sources, indicating she is using her married name professionally. (Birth name, in the infobox, should definitely not be changed, as your recent edit to the article showed.) MPFitz1968 (talk) 23:45, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes – source cannot violate WP:BLPPRIMARY (so no public records from, say, L.A. County). Also, even it if an WP:ABOUTSELF source is attempted to be used – and, I note, it must be very clear: It can't be something vague, like "Wedded bliss" with a picture – the caption will need to say something like "I got married yesterday." I'm not sure this gets us there, though it's probably close, and is worth discussing.

Note that even if the latter "confirms" the identity of the groom (and I don't see a surname mentioned), it couldn't be used even if he is named (WP:ABOUTSELF strikes again!)... Bottom line – if this was not picked up by something even like Us Weekly or People, it may not make it into an article until a mainstream WP:RS picks up on her marital status. Based on the WP:ABOUTSELF Instagram source, her husband's name does not make it into the article, and as MPFitz1968 states above changing her name absolutely does not. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:56, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

This Harper's Bazaar interview, which is linked to from her Instagram account, mentions a husband. Probably that with the WP:ABOUTSELF Instagram would be enough to add her "being married" to the article. But literally no other detail can be added, based on just these. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:12, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'm laughing at the fact that to confirm your marriage on Wikipedia, you need to be backed by those tabloid news sites. I'm sorry, but that's hilariously bullshit. Oh man, maybe next time, I should get an op-ed made in The New York Times to back up my marriage instead from the person's actual social media accounts. Anyways these regulations are bullshit, sayonara. BalticBowser (talk) 02:31, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

You clearly aren't reading what is being said. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:34, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Don't care, I just placed the facts CONFIRMED BY HERS ALONE and you decided to remove it for being too vague. Man, media literacy is lost on people. I need a laugh. BalticBowser (talk) 02:38, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
