Talk:Terry Acebo Davis

BRD

 * Please see WP:OPENPARA. Individuals ethnicity is not normally used in the lead sentence of a biography article. Second see WP:COMMONNAME, the common usage of Filipino American is unhyphenated, and therefore should not be hyphenated here either. This is similar to how Asian American is not hyphenated. Per WP:CANVASS I will be alerting appropriate boards.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 22:02, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Wow, you just went straight from "hey, I disagree with your edit here" to "alert all the boards!" without giving us an opportunity to just talk things through? Colour me unimpressed.
 * I've read the policy you link to; it says "Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability" (emphasis mine). Acebo Davis's ethnicity is an inherent part of her artistic work, and a part of her notability as well due to the barriers she blew through as a Filipino American (see "first Filipino American exhibited at Samsung Hall"); including it seems perfectly reasonable. Your hyphen element is on point, though; tweaking now. Ironholds (talk) 23:07, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but subject isn't notable for being Filipino American, subject is notable for being an artist. While she happens to be the first Filipino American artist to be have art featured, it isn't a significant feat for all Filipinos everywhere, especially since it is at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. Not like she is the first Asian American female artist ever to have artwork there. Again, OPENPARA doesn't say no mention of ethnicity should be in an article, but it shouldn't be in the lead sentence.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:54, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Paragraph; it says opening paragraph. And the standard is "relevant to the subject's notability", not "a necessary part of the notability". Acebo Davis is notable for being an artist, yes; an artist whose prominent work heavily features themes drawn from her Filipino American upbringing and background. Pretty much every source discusses this. Ironholds (talk) 17:52, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I am not going to get into an edit war with you. Removing tags, returning content to forms which do not follow MOS. Fine. Go ahead and own this article.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:08, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
