Names of family members
Should we keep the (currently unsourced) names of his siblings? Necessary detail? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:58, 25 August 2020 (UTC)


 * They're from the NY Times obituary. There are a few sentences in a row with the same source, so I just put it at the end of all of them. Armadillo  pteryx  23:18, 25 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Oh—I see what happened. Earlier today, someone came by and rearranged the paragraphs but didn't take care to keep the sourcing with the facts. I'm on mobile atm; could you fix it? If not, I'll do it later, when I get home. Armadillo  pteryx  23:20, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , this is now fixed. Armadillo  pteryx  03:18, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Is the infobox image displaying strangely for anyone else?
On my end, the infobox image has been showing up as warped/stretched out since yesterday. Does it look like this to anyone else? I encountered this issue once before in another article, and simply removing and restoring the image fixed it there, but it didn't seem to work this time. Armadillo pteryx  13:21, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , The image was distorted for me at one point, but not currently. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:17, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , Still an issue? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:08, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, it never went back to displaying normally for me. Armadillo  pteryx  15:02, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , Still? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:24, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It's better now. Armadillo  pteryx  18:24, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , Ok, great, thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:38, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Reported death on August 20, 2020
I am unable to find a reliable mainstream media source for Chi Chi's passing, which is being widely reported on social media today. Until a reputable source is available, this article should not state that she has passed away. Goyston talk, contribs 20:20, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree. These edits are a clear BLP violation until and unless a reliable source reports that the subject has died. Armadillo  pteryx  20:22, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Darn. Here's one, as of nine minutes ago. RIP. Armadillo  pteryx  20:24, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * This is now being reported by Entertainment Weekly and the Mirror. I've added citations to the article. Goyston talk, contribs 20:29, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I also posted the EW link above. I need to step away from the computer for a bit, but I will come back and help out later. Armadillo  pteryx  20:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Possible sources for expansion
Haven't read through these sources yet, but plopping them here in case we can extract some useful info: Armadillo pteryx  08:05, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

 * , NickiSwift.com seems like a celebrity gossip site... I'd suggest we avoid unless there's something here specific we must mention? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 23:29, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * This was just an indiscriminate Google pull; I hadn't yet looked through these to see if they were any good. If that one's a gossip site, I agree we should avoid it. Armadillo  pteryx  05:09, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Good article?
Any interest in co-nominating this article for Good status? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Sure. How soon are you looking to nominate it? I'm a little busy over the next few days, but I can go through and do some cleanup and possible expansion later this week or early next. Armadillo  pteryx  18:40, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , No prob at all. I feel like usually there's a long wait before GA noms get picked up, but I can hold off nominating until you're ready, if you prefer. No rush! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:16, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I realize I said I'd take care of this by now—sorry I haven't. I haven't forgotten, just really busy IRL. Armadillo  pteryx  03:31, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , No rush or worries! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 03:35, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , Do you mind if I go ahead and co-nom this article for Good status as part of this ongoing BLM collaboration? Odds are the review won't start for weeks or even months, so you'll still have time to make updates if you had any in mind. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:11, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * @: Sure, go ahead. I've barely had any free time recently, so I don't want to hold up the nomination anymore. I think the article would be significantly improved by an expansion, but I can't commit to getting it done in a timely fashion right now. Sorry for the holdup. Armadillo  pteryx  19:38, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * , Really, no worries at all. I'd be surprised if this gets picked up any time soon, based on other recent noms of biographies. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:40, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I mean, Kameron Michaels has been sitting there since early August ... Armadillo  pteryx  19:42, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I just notice there's no WLP tag on this talk page. I'd say the article was certainly improved a lot during the 2020 edition; should we tag it? Armadillo  pteryx  19:49, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * , Go for it! I've not created pages for the 2021 campaign yet, but all in good time. :) --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:50, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Season 13 finale tribute
Assuming sourcing allows, worth adding mention of the Season 13 finale tribute to Chi Chi? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:33, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I think so! Armadillo  pteryx  02:20, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
