Brittany Pettibone

I see you have been editing the Wikipedia article on Pettibone. Over here I uploaded an image of Pettibone from Flickr. This had been wrongly deleted on Wikipedia where it was originally uploaded due to confusion over the photo's provenance. As noted on the image talk page and in my conversation with the original uploader from Wikipedia, Pettibone took this image of herself and confirmed on Twitter that the Flickr account where it was uploaded on a valid free license is her account. Took some sorting, but the image can now be put up on her Wikipedia page. Unrelated to this, since you suggested the possibility of the article being deleted, I did find another source discussing her, which was an Associated Press story (as AP seems to delete older articles the other link would be preferable). Not sure if that would change your mind about it, but my own opinion is that she satisfies all the inclusion criteria and the fact she set up Flickr to get an image suggests she doesn't mind having a page. Only other issue in the meantime is that someone should remove the "neo-Nazi" category from her article since it fails the categorization policy and BLP policy.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 04:45, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

I have removed "neo-Nazi" category (I forgot to do it when the Searchlight reference was removed). As for the rest I have AfD'ed the article for now; the AP source is another passing mention of the sort which is already present in the article. If the article survives the AfD, I'll change the photo. I am not too familiar with the photo policy on WP, but if it was a selfie, it would probably be ok.

I wouldn't call the AP source a passing mention myself. Her GoFundMe situation is covered in roughly a sixth of the article in word count and is used to illustrate a general trend relevant to the piece. Passing mentions would be the Newsweek, Slate, Buzzfeed, Mother Jones, and SFGate articles. Are you discounting Gilroy Dispatch because it is a local piece?--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 19:11, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Taking the points in reverse order: The Gilroy Dispatch article is about her sci-fi work, and doesn't mention politics at all. Is she notable for her sci-fi work? I think no. In contrast, most of the article is (and will continue to be in the future, if the past is any guide) about her political views and activities. For this aspect, all the coverage about her is in passing. The AP article is about Twitter and general steps these platforms deal with abuse; it mentions Pettibone's campaign on GoFundMe in a few lines. If there are a few notable profiles of her discussing her political activities, then I would consider a BLP making sense. Kingsindian (talk) 19:59, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

@LX: It appears that I misread the license on the image. I am fine with the image being speedily deleted. Kingsindian (talk) 11:48, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
