Talk:Helen Lewis (journalist)

Marriage
I've removed the pargraph which stated that she married Jonathan Haynes in 2010 but later divorced. This isn't supported by the cited sources, and Lewis herself has stated that it is incorrect

While the original article cited does refer to a marriage in 2010 followed by a later divorce, this does not appear to be her marriage to Haynes. Unless more reliable - and relevant - information on her marital status can be sourced, it should be omitted from the article entirely as per BLP. MarkSG (talk) 12:22, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Lewis Law
needs to be sourced properly - just because it has been mention on twitter by the person herself does not make it notable.--ChristopheT (talk) 11:20, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It's also clearly sourced to an article in Wired. --McGeddon (talk) 11:22, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * mentioned once by in a wired article ... but it looks like 'hype' ;) I think at the very least the 'law' should be explained (rather than just quote the the person). "the comments on any article about feminism justify feminism" leaves a lot of room for interpretation and speculation ....  --ChristopheT (talk) 11:31, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Controversy
Hi, I removed the sentence about "defending" Brett Kavanaugh as her expression of sympathy does not really amount to a "defence" of him. On the transphobia she has written a fair few comment pieces that have been received as transphobic though, some of which has been covered by PinkNews. Battleofalma (talk) 14:21, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

The Spark
Should this article mention that she has presented a BBC Radio 4 programme "The Spark", in which she interviews people with innovative ideas? Vorbee (talk) 20:27, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes! --TrottieTrue (talk) 03:20, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Watch Dogs: Legion
There's been recent coverage of the subject of this page appearing in a video game then being removed from it. See https://kotaku.com/ubisoft-to-remove-controversial-host-from-watch-dogs-le-1845596398. Should this be in the page? 80.47.137.128 (talk) 19:26, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

What's her significance?
So every "journalist" should now have a Wikipedia entry? She's a nobody. 2601:485:4200:792:7192:A5DC:D1D8:621A (talk) 05:47, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Basic information absent
Read aha born somewhere? Did she have parents? Did she go to schools?

Or did she arrive fully formed as a graduate and step straight into a career?

This really does read as a piece of publicity and not as an encyclopaedia article. Such articles do no favours to any aspirations Wikipedia might have to be taken seriously as a real encyclopaedia. 109.149.219.203 (talk) 21:42, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
