In my opinion, this article either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for Biographies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.

editWikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable source attribution in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.
Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I am nonetheless willing to assist User:Colors8 (talk · contribs), and other recent contributors to this article, to make constructive improvements to it ... I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.
Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation. — 151.200.237.53 (talk) 12:27, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Selected filmography
editAs per Wikipedia is not a collection of lists, I have reduced the Filmography section of Roberta Collins (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) to just the films that have Wikipedia articles, and renamed it to Selected filmography ... people can click the IMDb External link that follows the section to see the subject's full filmography with links to information about each of their films.
Please see the template's talk page for examples of using the {{Imdb name}}, {{Imdb title}}, {{Tv.com person}}, and {{Tv.com show}} templates.
I have also used [[19xx in film|19xx]] tags for the years of the films, since [[19xx]] has little encyclopedic value.
Anonymous edits without comments may be reverted by anyone.
I am placing this boilerplate message on this Discussion page before I actually make the changes, so that I can just put "see Discussion page" in the edit summary, and hopefully not have my edit summarily reverted as vandalism by Some Other Editor. — 151.200.237.53 (talk) 13:00, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Cause of Death
editThe Roger Corman Classics Collection release of Death Race 2000 indicates that Robert Collins died of a drug overdose. --RedKnight (talk) 15:22, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Removal of "www.famousfix.com" citation
editI have removed a citation to "www.famousfix.com". That source is not reliable because it is WP:USERGENERATED.
The page that was cited contains a credit line that says "IMDb Mini Biography By: woodyanders", which raises a red flag, since IMDb is not a reliable source. Moreover, clicking the "view all" link at the bottom of the infobox there brings up this page, which says (under the biographical information), "FamousFix content is contributed and edited by our readers. You are most welcome to update, correct or add information to this page."
The site clearly falls under the user-generated category, which disqualifies it as a source for Wikipedia articles. Eddie Blick (talk) 03:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
