@1940CStreet: I restored the changes I had made to remove material that is UNDUE and COATRACK and which had other problems.

We do not include every actor's minor role in their articles, particularly when the list of such roles is wholly uncited. If you have citations about each one-off role - not that they occurred, but that received recognition of some kind, then add them back.

I removed cum laude from the article because the source does not support that she graduated with these honours, only that she did graduate. This kind of detail is very important and it is equally important that it not be wrong or unsupported by the citation given. We must take extra care with BLPs per policy and not misstate the subject's credentials.

I also removed information about who directed or started in the Bowie videos because this information is COATRACK, just name dropping because those names have nothing to do with this subject or why she was chosen. It belongs in the articles on the videos but is COATRACK for this one. Ca2james (talk) 22:32, 1 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

The deletion of content here is 100% out of bounds of what can be considered reasonable. If citations need to be added, note that. If content needs to be clarified, then state that. Add tags and add citations if you the focus here is to be constructive. To delete and prune a decades long year career down to a handful of credits is not the way to improve an entry. I reverted your edits because they are harshly punitive. It's also common courtesy to bring the discussion here to the Talk page before making such significant deletions to the page. 1940CStreet (talk) 02:47, 2 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
It is completely reasonable to remove minor roles from the list because they are UNDUE. By including them with major roles that have received coverage, you are saying that they are just as important as the things for which she received lots of coverage. It is misleading and inappropriate to do so. Similarly, it is completely reasonable and appropriate that things that do not directly relate to the article subject and are found in a wikilinked article be removed as a COATRACK.
It is my judgement that putting a citation needed tag on the cum laude descriptor would do more harm than removing it entirely. If you have a source, add it instead of reverting changes wholesale.
I object to your edit summary that my edits are "These are punative not AGF deletions". There is nothing punitive about the changes I've made; I've explained my policy-based reasoning for them. I do not understand what I am not Assuming Good Faith about, here, either; from my perspective, calling my edits punitive appears to be lacking in good faith on your part.
Since we have differing views, why don't we ask for a third opinion? Are you willing abide by whatever decision that person makes? Ca2james (talk) 03:48, 2 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
