Untitled[edit]

Why did someone remove the paragraph about the incident at the airport? It was a major news event and was featured on several websites in addition to many newspapers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.153.103.8 (talk) 22:59, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

People keep deleting the paragraph about the airport incident. Is there any valid reason for doing this? The incident at the airport is probably the most widely reported thing about Nancy Kates and is probably what she's best known for.76.21.115.247 (talk) 08:49, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why was information about the airport incident deleted, this time by an admin, without any discussion? StradTrumpeter (talk) 14:44, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why?[edit]

Why are people warring to keep this in? It's unencyclopedic gossip, and has absolutely no place in this article. Taking to the talk page as suggested. PeterSymonds (talk) 16:49, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm re-adding it to the page. It was a major news story and the time and I would assert that she's more notable for that incident than she is for everything else on this page, at least to the average individual.StradTrumpeter (talk) 17:44, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have to disagree with that assessment. In its current form, there isn't even an indication that the passenger involved in the incident is the same Nancy Kates the rest of the article is about. It seems a minor incident with no lasting impact. Plus, there are arguably WP:BLP issues. For that reason and per WP:UNDUE I'll remove the section. Huon (talk) 22:46, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've added an additional citation from the Boston Herald that confirms that the Nancy Kates in question is a documentary filmmaker. I strongly disagree with your assessment of potential BLP or undue issues. The incident clearly happened, the article isn't about just that incident, and it is noteworthy. If you do a search for "Nancy Kates" in Google the airport incident is currently the third search result. Just because she may not like that she's known for this incident is no reason to not include it. She willingly gave her name and a statement to a news reporter. She has no basis to claim that it should be off-limits to wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StradTrumpeter (talk • contribs) 04:47, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the problem here is that this whole thing reeks of the profound sexism that women experience in other parts of the Web. If the incident in question were not about a bra, the people working so hard to put it in--at the expense of the person it concerns--seem to want to talk about her underwear instead of her achievements. Sorry, dudes. That is sexism. Wikipedia should not be letting some misogynist alter the profile of a serious filmmaker. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SSontag (talk • contribs) 22:50, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StradTrumpeter (talk • contribs) 00:39, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

StradTrumpeter is blocked as a disruptive WP:SPA. Pretty much all that account has done, for over five years, is insert this salacious trivium. Guy (Help!) 12:54, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
