Irrelevant material
editI had removed the "Family Tree" section from this article, because such information is irrelevant. It is one thing to list a brief biography of an artist (so and so was born in Gotham City to Jack and Jill Jones. She attended This-or-that school, graduating with a degree in something or other). However, listing all of a person's famous (or semi-famous or presumed famous) relatives looks like an attempt to bolster the person's own notability by association to those famous (or otherwise) people. However, a person needs to be notable in their own right in order to have a Wikipedia article; their relation to other people is only relevant insofar as that relationship has affected their life or career. Since your article makes no mention of such an effect, there is no point in bring them up.
The material has been introduced again, unchanged save for a new title ("Early Life"). I will remove the section again; please do not add it again without a good reason to do so. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:45, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Question
editIs there, or should there be, some sort of tag one can place on articles clearly written by the subject matter of the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.210.34.53 (talk) 12:51, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
