Talk:Hottentot Venus

This is quite possibly the worst-written article I have ever seen on Wikipedia. I do not possess the knowledge or background to fix it, but I leave this on the talk page in an open and desperate plea that someone, someday, sees it and takes heed. Bubbaprog (talk) 16:23, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Destroy this article
This reads like the poorly written rant of a failing women`s studies major, it is of no value whatsoever (in my opinion). I would suggest taking the few bits of it that dont read like propaganda and merging them with the Baartman article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.1.108.192 (talk) 17:09, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Merging with Sarah Baartman
Merging would be entirely appropriate. "The Hottentot Venus" was essentially a stage name (as the article points out), and celebrities do not get pages for both their real and stage names. The content is not bad in itself, but it sounds like a paper written for a college course rather than anything appropriate for an encyclopedia, and there are plenty of dubious facts - for example, this article states that Baartman died from being overworked by her owner, while Sarah Baartman states that she died of smallpox or venereal disease. Hottentot Venus should redirect to Sarah Baartman. --Cassidy Percoco (talk) 14:20, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

I agree with everyone
