No article about her novel?[edit]

There are articles about the minor movie made from her novel, and even about the theme song from the movie; but none about the prize-winning novel that inspired both and got such critical attention that she gets an article here. --Orange Mike 13:24, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem[edit]

This article has been reverted by a bot to this version as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) This has been done to remove User:Accotink2's contributions as they have a history of extensive copyright violation and so it is assumed that all of their major contributions are copyright violations.

Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

Requested move 2 March 2020[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. No consensus for move, (non-admin closure) – Ammarpad (talk) 05:47, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jessamyn West (writer) → Jessamyn West
Jessamyn West → (deleted to make way for page move)

– WP:TWODABS. I honestly don't care which of the two bios goes to the main article but it's senseless to have a disambiguation page with two entries. Move one and leave a hatnote. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:13, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: just a gentle reminder that if this request is granted, Jessamyn West (disambiguation) must also be deleted. PI Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 04:38, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. TWODABS explains that if there is NOPRIMARY topic, there should be a dab page, even if there are only two entries. And page views strongly suggest that there is no primary topic. Also, since the base name is a dab page, this is a malformed request. I'll fix that part. PI Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 00:14, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as above. Long-term stats are about the ratio 3:4, but each has several large spikes. 85.238.91.68 (talk) 01:16, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A disambiguation page for two people is a bad idea: 100% of searchers have to click through the disambiguation page. Pick a primary topic and put a hatnote there. So Move Jessamyn West (writer) over the disambiguation page and delete G14 the redirect Jessamyn West (disambiguation). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:19, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your support is equally as perplexing as this move request itself. Neither is in accordance with the guideline, WP:TWODABS, which is common practice on Wikipedia and in agreement with community consensus. If you want to change the guideline, then this is not the correct venue; try the talk page of the guideline for that. OR... you can provide evidence that the writer should be considered as the primary topic over the librarian. PI Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 13:56, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Hi I'm one of the JWs. It seems that the two of us are more or less equally notable so the policy seems clear. I do agree that it's not great UX to send everyone to a disambiguation page, but that seems like it should point to a shift in policy,not in this particular example. Jessamyn (talk) 02:43, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
