Speedy deletion nomination of Golden Parachutes
A tag has been placed on Golden Parachutes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Jamie Babbit sources
Hello, thanks for updating info on Jamie Babbit and adding a source. Do you know of a better source for that information about her personal life? I checked out the interview and saw where AfterEllen states that Babbit is her "girlfriend", but it's really important that we only use high quality reliable sources for biographies of living people (this is a policy taken extremely seriously on Wikipedia. AE is generally considered reliable but it would be far, far better to have this kind of information attributed directly to the people involved. Unfortunately there was a problem in the past with AfterElton (same ownership) who published an interview with a celebrity and stated that he was "openly gay", only to have that person contact Wikipedia to say that it wasn't true at all. Obviously, this isn't a question of someone's perceived sexual orientation, but a statement about a relationship.

I've removed the information for now because as it stands, we have no sources actually reporting on the relationship, so it doesn't seem to be that reliable, independent sources consider it to be significant or notable information. Additionally, it cannot be directly attributed to either party involved, and given AfterEllen/AfterElton's past mistakes, I think we need something more than an image caption to back it up.

I hope you can understand the reasoning behind this. Updating the article to reflect current circumstances is obviously a good thing, but without either proper coverage of the relationship (which may be unlikely considering the type of media coverage Babbit gets), or a definitive statement from either of the people involved, then I think we will have to leave it out. -- Beloved Freak  11:00, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
