Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Amanda Rosenberg

Personal life
I pasted the following from Talk:Amanda Rosenberg, as it represented a fair bit of work, and I wouldn't like to have to recreate these comments if the article, and its talk page, are deleted. Geo Swan (talk) 16:04, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I created a new section Amanda Rosenberg, and I moved coverage of her romantic relationships to that section.
 * I created a new section Amanda Rosenberg, and I moved coverage of her romantic relationships to that section.


 * Realistically, I think a single sentence about her relationships probably should belong in the lead section -- except that I am afraid this appropriate coverage has the unfortunate side effect to triggering WP:NOTTABLOID concerns.


 * I am old enough to remember the angst older reporters felt during their coverage of Bill Clinton's confirmed and suspected extramarital affairs, when they were all guilty of colluding in hiding the more serious sexual shenanigans of earlier Presidents, like FDR and JFK. Realistically, JFK's extramarital pursuits were much more serious because his pursuits put National Security at risk.  He shared some of his mistresses with underworld figures.


 * Does the Rosenberg-Brin affair merit coverage here, at all? Or should we take a high moral line, and not cover extramarital affairs on the grounds they are trivial, of passing interest, and beneath us?  Well, since reliable and authoritative sources speculate the affair caused Google to shelve the very promising and exciting Google Glass product I don't think it is responsible to not cover the relationship.


 * There is no real coverage of Ms Rosenberg in the Google Glass article -- just a link in the "see also" section.


 * There was no coverage of Ms Rosenberg, at all, in the article on her first Google lover, Hugo Barra. I added some coverage.


 * I am sure that the new "Personal life" section I added could be improved. I encourage anyone currently voicing delete opinions at the AFD, who has concerns about this section, to consider how it could be rewritten, to address those concerns, and just think their concerns add to reasons to delete the article.


 * I have wondered whether the articles on Google Glass, Brin, Barra, Rosenberg and Anne Wojcicki should all link to a new article on the romantic triangle, and speculation on its impact on the Google Glass product. If so, I don't know what that article should be called, but I think if the details on the affair, and speculation on its after-effects, were confined to its own article, this would help prevent coverage in the articles on the individuals diverging and contradicting one another.  It might help keep coverage be more fair to all involved.


 * Should it be covered at all, or in any detail? Yes, because those commentators have convinced me that it did put the important product line at risk.  Five or ten years from now we may all be wearing "Apple Goggles", "Yahoo Goggles" or "Microsoft Goggles", instead of each wearing a "Google Glass", as the shelving of the product due to the affair gives Google's competitors a chance to catch up.
