Proposed deletion of Cheryl arutt


The article Cheryl arutt has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.  ttonyb (talk) 01:55, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Cheryl arutt do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed.

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Cheryl Arutt, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you.  ttonyb (talk) 18:14, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Cheryl Arutt
Creativeinsight-- I have addressed some of the outstanding issues with the article Cheryl Arutt, and removed the deletion tag. In the future please be very careful with your use of external links. They really in rare cases only belong in the external links section and even then sparingly. You also externally linked actors' names in the article space to the imdb. This is bad for several reasons: unless there is a significant connection to the subject there is no reason to list other actors the article's subject has worked with. All actors work with other actors so it can give the appearance of mere name dropping as well as cluttering the article with largely irrelevant info. Also the imdb is only permissible as use for a wikipedia source for hard facts about productions already completed, not for actors' pictures, bios, or other trivia. Good luck if you chose to further contribute to the article; it needs more work and inline citations. Oh btw the article could use a filmography section if you want to work on it.

Diffusing Categories
FYI. Both American psychologists and clinical psychologists are difussing categories. Mason (talk) 22:13, 1 October 2023 (UTC)


 * FYI, the guidelines specifically state: Subcategories defined by gender, ethnicity, religion, and sexuality should almost always be non-diffusing subcategories. The Wikipedia:Categorizing articles about people guideline outlines the rules on these categories in more detail.
 * Note that some categories can be non-diffusing on some parents, and diffusing on others. For example, Category:British women novelists is a non-diffusing sub-category of Category:British novelists.
 * Stop deleting main categories because of gender; leaving women listed only in subcategories renders bona fide female members of main categories invisible. Erroneously treating gender as a difussing category is against guidelines, and is also sexist. Thank you for discontinuing these deletions. Creativeinsight (talk) 22:26, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * What are you talking about? I said nothing about gender!? I intentionally kept American women psychologist. I diffused around gender. I resent you calling me sexist. Mason (talk) 22:33, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for diffusing around gender - doing so here means to keep (and not delete) the "American psychologist" category. Claiming it superfluous to list a woman in both categories and arguing that the subject is already in the "American women psychologist" category would result in only male psychologists on the main "American psychologists" list. It is the proposed deletion in the main category that was at issue, not the inclusion in the women's list. Whatever an individual's good intent, the resulting impact of the removal you proposed would be discriminatory. Please note this is not calling a person a name, rather pointing out the impact of a behavior. Thank you for listening. Creativeinsight (talk) 00:41, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * What? I think you are misunderstanding fundamentally. There should be no one in the American psychologist category, male or female. They should be deeper in the 20th-century American psychologists. Every female psychologist should be in at least one non-gendered psychologist category and one gendered one. I am not disputing that, and intentionally avoid it. You seem to think that I was removing women from the main category. I wasn't. I was moving them to a more specific category: "20th-century American psychologists". Mason (talk) 01:15, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Respectfully, I believe it is you who is fundamentally misunderstanding that gender is specifically identified as an example of a NON-diffusing category per Wikipedia guidelines. Please see below:
 * "==== Non-diffusing subcategories ====
 * Shortcuts
 * WP:ALLINCLUDED
 * WP:DUPCAT
 * Not all subcategories serve the "diffusion" function described above; some are simply subsets which have some special characteristic of interest, such as Best Actor Academy Award winners as a subcategory of Film actors. They provide an exception to the general rule that pages are not placed in both a category and its subcategory: there is no need to take pages out of the parent category purely because of their membership of a non-diffusing subcategory. (Of course, if the pages also belong to other subcategories that do cause diffusion, then they will not appear in the parent category directly.)
 * Non-diffusing subcategories should be identified with a template on the category page:
 * The templates should be used for sub-categories that are non-diffusing, like Category:American novelists of Asian descent.
 * The can be used for categories where all child articles of a certain type are in the parent, like Category:Presidents of the United States or Category:Mountains of Switzerland.
 * Subcategories defined by gender, ethnicity, religion, and sexuality should almost always be non-diffusing subcategories. The Categorizing articles about people guideline outlines the rules on these categories in more detail. Creativeinsight (talk) 01:53, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * So adding them to a more specific category is perfectly fine. But moving them, as in removing them from the parent category, is not. Creativeinsight (talk) 01:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm done with this conversation. You clearly have an axe to grind, because you're lecturing me about removing women from main categories, when I clearly stated that I did not do this. I moved Cheryl Arutt from the American psychologist category to the American clinical psychologist category, which is diffusing. They are still in the American women psychologist category. You seem set on lecturing me on diffusion, and calling my behavior is sexist, without bothering to actually look at the categories I changed. Mason (talk) 02:18, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Understood. Thank you for explaining more clearly. We appreciate all the effort you put into your edits and did not mean to offend you. Creativeinsight (talk) 02:26, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
