Talk:Pamela Ribon

Mike
This is F-list notable. Personally, I think this should be deleted. Mike H. That's hot 10:00, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Agree with Mike
This chick totally wrote her own stub. She is only known for being made fun of on Television Without Pity. If she is notable, then you'll have to start writing stubs for all of my daily dumps as well. I guess under "W" for "Wendy's bowel movements." Get crackin'! - Wendy W.

Disagree with these two doofuses
If Pamela is such an "F-lister" and someone not worth of an entry on this site, what are you two doing here at her entry???? You are just two of the many people interested in her work. She's written books and screenplays, writes for television, and is a "pioneer" in the blogging world. So flush that one down, Wendy!


 * Civility and No personal attacks. Read them both and adhere to them, please. Thank you. Mike H. That's hot 07:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Unoffensive Definition from Wikipedia
doofus (plural: doofuses)--

(slang) A person with poor judgment and taste


 * And we have poor judgment and taste why? Because we disagree with you? Mike H. That's hot 07:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm just sayin'...
For your edification, the point of my first entry:

1.) It's pretty funny that someone you consider an "F-lister" or someone you deem not worthy of any entry is someone you took the time to look up in the first place. Just commenting on the "doofy" logic of it. That's it! Nothing to get your bloomers in a twirl about.

The point of my second entry:

2.) The term doofus is quite tame: It does not break any laws of "civilty" and was not meant to "attack you personally"; I included the dictionary defintion to illustrate this very point. If you were interested in calling out people for personal attacks, wouldn't it have made more sense to do so with Wendy's, which referenced "bowel movements" and "dumps" with regard to Ms. Ribon?

Excrement Aside, No Need For Deletion
I added sections on her personal site and the ensuing book drives she's sponsored for the past 4 years. Pamie may be mostly an "Internet celebrity", but she's a published author offline as well, and has enough notable "stuff" about her to at least warrant an article. I'm not exactly sure what version of TWoP Wendy is reading, but (although everyone on that site reserves the right to mock everyone else, since mockery and fun-making are its stock in trade) her work is well-respected by her peers. Strong Bad isn't necessarily an A-list Internet celebrity, but he's notable enough to have an entry. So is Pamie. --07:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Still married?
Are Pamie and Stee still married? The entry sort of implies that they still are, but neither of them has really mentioned the other in a long time. 76.124.109.31 (talk) 06:39, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

The NPOV tag
Putting aside the discussions of notable, I added the POV tag to the article. It reads too much as promotional to me and has other issues. She's listed as being a "best-selling" author but yet all but one of her books listed under the Bibliography are red linked. Her blog is referenced and linked to a couple of times with a mention of the "large readership" but yet I have a blog that I haven't updated in over 5 years with a higher ranking than her. She may call herself the "Pop Culture Princess" but I don't see any mention of it elsewhere. Many of the edits have also been done by anonymous IP addresses as well. --98.24.99.70 (talk) 11:00, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Stubyfying
Recently all text in this article was deleted ("Stubyfied") because of "multiple issues". Doesn't seem like a very elegant solution to me, or, for that matter, very kind to the people who tried to add content to the article. I propose to revert the stubification, but i'd like a second opinion. PizzaMan (♨♨) 18:42, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I boldly restored some parts of the mass deletion. PizzaMan (♨♨) 19:47, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
 * everything in a BLP article needs to be well-sourced. that material you restored was not.  re-deleted. Jytdog (talk) 04:20, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * The intention of that policy is to not offend living persons. When looking for references for her age, i found on her Facebook page a comment that said something like "now even my Facebook page is being questioned". So she obviously didn't appreciate the blp policy "protecting" her here. Either way someone should just look for some sources. PizzaMan (♨♨) 08:09, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
