Talk:Belle Knox

Belle Knox
No discussion on Belle Knox and yet it has been nominated for deletion 2 times by haters?--150.216.254.207 (talk) 00:12, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Please assume good faith! The problem is that first, the article was initially deleted and the talk history from that first version does not show up on the current talk page. You can see it in the talk page history and I'll see if I can get it archived somehow. As far as the nominations go, the first nomination came when the story had just broken and there were concerns that everything fell under WP:BLP1E. In a nutshell, that policy is concerned with the idea that someone might have gained coverage for something that is fleeting and would ultimately be forgotten in a few weeks or so. Daniel Morgan Perry and the Ikea Monkey are excellent examples of things that gained quite a bit of coverage at first but had no lasting notability and did not gain any real further coverage. When the page was re-created a little bit ago, it didn't have that much coverage or content compared to the last version and given the discussion at the last AfD, it's reasonable to be concerned over lasting notability and taking the article back to AfD was the right thing to do in this instance. While Knox's reasons for coverage are contentious for obvious reasons, people nominating her article for deletion does not automatically mean that they are "haters".

SVU episode

 * I was thinking about how to properly include this and I think a simple mention using the XOJane article she wrote might be easiest under the heading of "Advocacy",

http://www.xojane.com/it-happened-to-me/belle-knox-evie-barnes-law-and-order-svu. Yes, its a primary source, but it does describe the producers intentions for the episode to mirror Knox's situation. --SChotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy...

 * Since the episode mirrors essentially the early porn and outing story, I was thinking a sentence or so in the Belle_Knox might be appropriate.

One important BLP detail in that xojane story is Knox saying she was raped (although unless I missed it, the story does not say when or under what circumstances, so I don't know if it was earlier in her life, or during her porn career). Gaijin42 (talk) 18:09, 23 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, if there is adequate sourcing that is much more relevant than the SVU pop culture reference. I reduced the SVU coverage to one sentence as suggested above; I think more than that would be unnecessary. VQuakr (talk) 06:56, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Parents' names
I have removed the parents' names. While we had a source for them, they do not significantly improve our readers' understanding of Knox, are not themselves notable, and should have the benefit of a presumption of privacy. Huon (talk) 20:00, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Seems reasonable. VQuakr (talk) 02:46, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Twitter username @belle_knox no longer hers
It now has only a single tweet, which apparently advertises a cam site. 71.183.132.20 (talk) 02:58, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Before her website closed she mentioned she deleted all the social media accounts. From the archive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.81.147.8 (talk) 12:03, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Amanda Knox
An IP editor removed mention that she was exonerated without comment. We should not let people reading this assume she really did it. The wording is up to date, but guiltism when she isn't guilty is unacceptable. I restored the wording as it was months ago. DreamGuy (talk) 16:04, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

studying
There reads: Knox took a college-sanctioned break from Duke University in early 2014[11] and returned to continue her studies. She took a break from university and continued studies? Huh? Isn't the university the place study? Or does it mean she later returned? I read the current sentence the way that the break and the return happened in same time. And it makes no sense. 91.152.32.181 (talk) 20:57, 30 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Clarified with "later".--TMCk (talk) 21:53, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

"After the outing"
In the introductory paragraph, the above phrase is used to begin a sentence, without the subject of her exposure as a porn actor having been touched upon. It assumes the reader will be aware of this occurrence beforehand. Amend, someone, please. Nuttyskin (talk) 12:25, 31 January 2017 (UTC) Nuttyskin (talk) 12:25, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Ethnicity
According to this article, she is from English and German ancestry, but she really seems Indian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:8A8D:FE80:BD08:FD8:6E04:DAD0 (talk) 13:30, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Additional sources


Could be useful for building the article. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 21:36, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Updates
I'm not particularly fond of the NYP, but she probably ok for sourcing harmless no political content such as graduation information and age for which the article should be updated. However i'm a bit miffed that it seem to rely on page 6 interview in which it seems a bit unclear who actually interviewed on her current state. Other publications carrying more or less the same info are: Independent of updating age and education, there is after movie now also a theater play based on her which could/should be included in the article. --Kmhkmh (talk) 16:12, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

 * The guidance for the NY Post says, generally not reliable, especially about politics, not exclusively about politics. Page Six is the New York Post, not the 'New York Times.  The Daily Mail has an even stronger warning and its use is flagged by edit filter.  The other links refer back to Page Six/NY Post with the general caveat of "allegedly."  In general, a contentious statement supported junk sources.  If you can't find mainstream source that states this as a fact, it's best to leave it out. • Gene93k (talk) 18:24, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
