Talk:Astronaut Wives Club

redirects

Shepard, Slayton, Cooper and Schirra are currently redirects to their husbands; I think these women were famous enough to qualify as notable. —valereee (talk) 18:34, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

@Valereee: I'm a help desk volunteer. The best way to address this would be to see if it makes sense to do an article about any of these women. If they are considered notable in their own right, and you're comfortable enough with judging the criteria for meeting notability guidelines WP:GNG, you can then edit the redirect page to be an article. But be prepared to defend your actions, and also prepare that consensus might be to merge your info to a subsection in each husband's article. To avoid disappointment, you might instead try to add an expanded section about each in their husband's personal life section, and if there's enough material to justify a standalone article, you could then simply copy the info over the person's redirect page. If there's not, at least you've improved their info on Wikipedia, and can edit the redirect to be more targeted to the new subsections in the astronauts' articles.

Timtempleton, thanks, that's what I did with Rene Carpenter earlier today. I'm hoping I can find as much on the other women, but Carpenter, Glenn, and Grissom actually became notable for other things later so not sure. :) —valereee (talk) 20:06, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

'never divorced'

This just seems like a strange categorization. They were widowed, just not by the space program. Maybe widowed?

Intro needs corrected

the initial description needs to be corrected.. This involves not just the original seven astronauts, but all the astronauts chosen in the decade of the '60s. 73.151.67.233 (talk) 06:51, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
