Using Youtube videos as references? Not the best even if the channel was "official".

edit

Episodes of a television show are not independent sources for the subject of this article and material on social media sites such as YouTube don't demonstrate notability, so I removed the YouTube sources from the article. Grangehilllover restored them with an explanation that these are from the show's official Youtube channel. Even if this is the case, they don't demonstrate notability, and only serve to promote the subject and the Youtube channel, and so would at most be suitable in the "External links" section. I checked out the first one, which is posted on the channel of "OZZY45100", and the "About" section of that channel only contains a link to a Google+ site promoting political topics. This doesn't appear very official to me.

Also, articles about fictional characters are supposed to focus on real-world aspects of the subject and not be 90% plot summary. Aside from the actress's obituaries there is offline many book listed as a reference. If the character played a substantial part on this show for 25 years, surely some television critics must have written about her. (I was able to find this and this and also this and this although I have never watched this show, so fans who know where to look will likely do better.)—Anne Delong (talk) 16:13, 25 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

"In 2004, after her great-grandson Billy death, Gail mention to Todd how Ivy's change her life for protected her kids - despite their conflict."

I'd be happy to have a go myself, but I'm not really clear on what it's trying to say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.78.6.38 (talk) 14:16, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
