Talk:Diane Arkenstone

Ex-husband?

Okay, so.. I've been looking for definitive proof of Diane and David divorcing, and I just can't find any. I don't accept last.fm as a reliable source. WP:BLP is pretty strict when it comes to sourcing, so until we can find a reliable source - whether primary or secondary - that shows that they divorced, I don't think we should include it. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 04:26, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, me too; I've also been looking. I believe Diane said "David and I are no longer married." on her neopacifica website that no longer exists.Abqmirox —Preceding undated comment was added at 16:35, 24 January 2009 (UTC).

It is true. They are no longer married. They do continue to collaborate on music projects, including the recent release of "the Best of David and Diane Arkenstone". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.227.161.192 (talk) 19:08, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

I made that first post above in October 2008; more than eighteen months later, I'm still waiting for a source. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 19:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

I found an interview where Diane referenced David as ex-husband, http://www.theacorn.com/news/2002-11-28/Community/023.html. Edited the article to reflect this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tweebee (talk • contribs) 19:24, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Reviews

Hi, I saw you reverted my addition of a Music Reviews section to this article. I was trying to write it with a NPOV. Mainly for readers with interest in Diane Arkenstone's music, that they can read additional reviews of her albums if they wanted to. The reviews could be negative or positive, however, they are just external reference available for readers, should they choose to read further on the subject. I've seen music reviews posted as external links on other articles on Wiki. I just grouped them into a section on this article. Please add this section back. Thanks.

Yes, music reviews go in the articles for the albums, not in the artist page. If they were reviews about her it'd be a different story. But aside from that, the reviews are from non-reliable sources. 2indya is just some random blog as far as I can tell, and the same is true of mainlypiano. Zone Music Reporter is a little more acceptable, but again, that article would be better suited for The Best of Diane Arkenstone, which itself would need to meet the notability criteria for albums. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 14:34, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

New Age reviews are few and far in between. MainlyPiano have been doing reviews and interviews for many years and have established themselves as notable in this community, just like Zone Music Reporter. While I agree with you that 2indya may fall under personal/group blog, but MainlyPiano's reviews and interviews should be considered as notable. Tweebee (talk) 15:49, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

You're right that there aren't many out there, but that doesn't mean that we can lower our standards to get text on the page. We can take this to WP:RSN if you'd like, but as I stated before, reviews don't even belong on this page - they belong on individual album pages. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 15:59, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you about the reviews belonging on individual album pages. Thanks for pointing that out. I was just furthering the conversation about the validity of MainlyPiano in my previous message, but perhaps that will be another discussion for when or if the individual album pages are created. Thanks again. Tweebee (talk) 16:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Writing style of article

This article is not written with an encyclopedic style. Rather, it is quite promotional and resume-like. It needs to be rewritten with an encyclopedic style to impart a truly neutral point of view. In the meantime, the "resume-like" template has been added to the top of the article. Msoul13 (talk) 02:09, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
