Jennifer TeegeMy Grandfather Would Have Shot Me – per AfD opening a discussion. This article, as it is currently written, is a book article, with little content outside what is needed to cover the book. Therefore, it should be renamed to be about the book. The two topics have been deemed notable, but the article right now is about the book. -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 03:51, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This really strikes me as a move which was pushed through rapidly to avoid any challenges and is also against the consensus of the AfD. The article really should be moved back to its original title. -O.R.Comms 15:48, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Rapidly"? The discussion was open for two weeks. Jenks24 (talk) 16:05, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I misread the dates and thought it was open for only three days. Still, seems to go against the AfD in spirit at least. -O.R.Comms 17:38, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Changes resulting from re-title[edit]

I have rewritten the lead para, and changed the categories to be appropriate for the book rather than the person. I have also added DISPLAYTITLE to show the title in italic; that can be removed if "Infobox writer" is replaced by "Infobox book" (which should be done) as that infobox italicises the title automatically.

 Done. Poeticbent talk 23:38, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Minor point re opening paragraph[edit]

Just a minor point about the opening paragraph. Should this be "famously" or "infamously"? Yes I know it is the person rather than the depiction which is infamous, although the word famously still sits a little uncomfortably with me. Research17 (talk) 03:49, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
