Talk:Timothy Everest

Everest's wife
The article just gives his wife's name as Catherine. The article should also give her surname, if possible.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:32, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Notability
The list of references and independent sources at the bottom of the article establishes the subject's notability beyond the shadow of a doubt. May I suggest that the non-notable template which was placed there by an IP be removed ASAP?! --Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:11, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of that British fellow. But, I'll leave it up to you folks. GoodDay (talk) 14:14, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * GoodDay, it doesn't matter whether you've heard of him or not. Notability is established in articles by providing references to independent secondary and third sources.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:25, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, he can stay. GoodDay (talk) 14:34, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Have you read the article? It definitely establishes that Everest is a notable individual.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:50, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I notice that nobody (except for myself a while back) bothers to question the "designer" L'Wren Scott's notability!!!!! Jesus wept.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:53, 23 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I checked the references & external links, after you mentioned them. GoodDay (talk) 14:55, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't understand why/how anybody could possibly question his notability. Besides, the references is the section which should be checked out before somebody slaps a non-notability template on a page.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:58, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The Non-notability template should be removed as it was placed by an IP. GoodDay (talk) 15:01, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

I suggest the IP reads the article, notes the reliable sources used and reads Notability (people). WP's Basic criteria says "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Timothy Everest satisfies these criteria. WP:ANYBIO says “People are generally notable if they meet any of the following standards...


 * 1. The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times.


 * 2. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.

I will now remove the tags. Should anyone disagree, please first raise the subject at the relevant notice boards. Daicaregos (talk) 15:05, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the tags should be removed as they never belonged there in the first place.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:16, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Daicaregos (talk) 15:20, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Overall summary

 * Overall, the article is highly-informative, well-written in a fluid, contemporary style; easy to follow and readable. The subject's notability is demonstrated without any peacock words or hyperbole.
 * It is well-illustrated, with pertinent images and matching captions. Infobox image is in the portrait style, free, and of good quality.
 * It is broad in its coverage and all the subsections are focused.

Lead
Clear, concise. No obvious problems there.

Career

 * Very well-covered, does not leave the reader wanting for more information.

Biography

 * Alas, there is a dearth of basic biography such as exact date of birth, names of parents and children, number of siblings (if any), and all we know about his wife is that she's named Catherine. Although this lack certainly does not bar the article achieving GA status, I think the information should be tracked down and added to the article sometime in the future.

Celebrity clients

 * Article gives a complete list without excessive name-dropping. It looks fine.

Quotes

 * There is a sufficient amount. I like the Tom Cruise quote at the end as it highlights Everest's international clientele. Again no obvious problems here.

Race driver
I'll need to do a closer scrutiny of the refs, but there is a sufficient amount of sources and appear bona-fide.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:24, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * There needs to be more explanation provided as to why or how his ambition to be a racing driver was unfulfilled.

Career

 * This section is way too long. Subsections are needed.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:09, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ Daicaregos (talk) 19:31, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Tom Cruise

 * Of his suit worn to the Oscars, Tom Cruise commented..... Who did he make the comment to? A reporter? This should be noted.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:06, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
