Talk:Passages Malibu

tag
Greetings: I just removed this tag from the top:

On the grounds that I couldn't find any points where it didn't meet all the criteria of ORG. If someone (tag poster perhaps) would like to go through and point out which specific aspects they feel need to be addressed, hit me up, love to chat. I'm willing to look up more references if that's the consensus, but out of laziness would rather hold off unless someone specifically thinks the current ones don't suffice (which currently include Forbes and such).

 * Greetings Drugrehabexpert - it appears you re-added a tag similar to the one for Promises Treatment Centers, but didn't address how you believe the page doesn't meet the criteria of ORG. Unfortunately that leaves us no grounds to discuss and reach a consensus, so while you're of course free to put the tag back up, please only do so if you also leave a note explaining your reasons. (I also removed the tag concerning self-published sources as excluding publishing info about the founder's books they are all third-party.) Anyways, this isn't an attempt to start an edit war, but a productive conversation. I'll leave the advert tag because that's more subjective, maybe will use it as incentive to streamline a bit.

Major Edit Needed, if this page is notable enough to stay
This page is a real mess. I just did a major edit in order to help bring the page up to Wikipedia guidelines. The page used to read like an advertisement and was clearly written by a Passages employee. Half of the references here still go to a profile of one of the founders in a Los Angeles dating magazine. I started the controversy portion, but did not have time to flesh the page out. It needs a lot of work if it is even notable enough to continue existing at all.

Merger
Although the facilities operate separately, they appear to have the same founders/history/methodology. It makes more sense to combine Ventura and Malibu into one page. This will also help with the notability concern discussed on this talk page. Magic1million (talk) 19:13, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Note response on Talk:Passages_Ventura. Short version: These pages should be combined so that users don't have to update two quite similar pages with any change.Magic1million (talk) 02:50, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Chris Prentiss
Although there is already an article for Passages Malibu, I think that there should be a separate article for the founder, Chris Prentiss. In addition to opening Passages, Prentiss is an author, one-time filmmaker, and ex-real estate developer. He has had a very interesting career path, and is worthy of his own article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaerlich (talk • contribs) 05:06, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

I disagree. I think he is an asshole.


 * Assholes get articles too, but there are plenty of one-time film makers, minor authors, ex-real estate developers, and people with interesting careers that don't. I really doubt he meets the criteria for a separate article given that this article has very little content by itself. Sterling.M.Archer (talk) 22:02, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Dead link in “Controversy”
LA Weekly link as the source that the founders don’t believe addiction is a disease no longer works. 2600:1700:4483:4810:1D56:CC4F:23EC:637E (talk) 22:30, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
