Talk:Jessica Aguirre

Written too much like an employer's website bio
''DISCLAIMER: I didn't write the article, so if anything I write, here, seems like apologia, it's not because I have any skin in this game. I simply have an opinion, and here it is...''

She's the news anchor on the NBC-owned TV station (channel 3 on most area cable systems, and channel 11 over the air) here in the San Francisco Bay area; and before that she was anchoring for years on the Bay area's ABC-owned network station (channel 7), and she's quite good at her job. Seriously... very, very good.

With regard to the notability notice/earning box at the top of the article (as of this writing on 3 July 2012), I've seen far less notable people with articles here, and no one questions those. She's very well-known in the Bay area; and should probably not have questioned that she has a Wikipedia article... though that's just my opinion, mind you.

The article has two huge problems, though...

First, it seems like its text was lifted from her bio on the website of whatever TV station at which she was working when whomever lifted it so lifted. Someone who's part of the power structure around here should get into his/her "talk" area an warn him/her that that's now how to write a Wikipedia article. So, right out of the gate, if this article is to stay on Wikipedia, it needs to stop reading like her bio from her employer's website.

Second, there have been things that happened in her life which have made the news, and so should be in the article. I'm having trouble remembering any of them at the moment, of course, but I remember a few things. One thing, for example (that I just remembered while typing this) was that she got some kind of facial plastic surgery or something which shocked her fans. It wasn't horrific, or anything; I mean, she's still pretty and stuff. But critics say it definitely didn't improve anything, as I'm sure she was hoping. That's, of course, not a huge thing, but I did just think of it. I know there's other stuff, though. Someone should hunt it down and add it.

But the whole piece, seriously, has got to stop reading like boilerplate bio text. Ugh! If only that got fixed, it would improve the article 100%!

 * Yes, horribly written. i ahve added some refs, and removed a proposed deletion. If anyone feels she is not notable, it can go to AFD now. maybe that will help it along.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:46, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
