Untitled
Wikipedians please contribute to and edit the Roxanne Pulitzer page. For those without access to sourcing for older media and newspapers, the Internet still contains a wealth of "live" article to review and reference from. Boolalah (talk) 23:40, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

80s "notable"
This page in a nutshell: ▪	A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published[3] secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent,[4] and independent of the subject.[5] ▪	If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.[6] Boolalah (talk) 00:05, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Changed intro, added sources
Greetings Wikipedians! Keeping in mind that this is a living person, I have endeavored to strengthen the citations to reliable sources - especially with respect to her novels.

As for the intro: previously it said she is a "novelist and actress." I'd say it would be more accurate to classify her as a celebrity, because she became notable after a highly publicized divorce, an appearance in Playboy magazine, her autobiography and the media coverage all that generated. Those things were publicity-driven, making her a celebrity household name. Her acting and novels appear to derive from her celebrity and seem to be purely secondary. Her novels came much later in her career and were lower profile than the autobiography, so I think we should call her an "author", which encompasses all her books, rather than a novelist.

The actress designation seems to be based solely on playing herself in "Breakfast with Hunter" and a bit part as a party guest in the TV version of her autobiography.

So: "celebrity, author and actress" in that order seems more accurate. Your comments are welcome. My best to all of you! BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 14:43, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
