[edit] Josephine Joseph

Josephine Joseph (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Appears to fail WP:BIO (and no, you'll be surprised by the alliterative name not being that of a porn actress... although this is an actress who is mostly known for her sex, or the ambiguity of such...)-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 22:24, 2 December 2007 (UTC) h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 22:24, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, seems to fail WP:V. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's perfectly verifiable that s/he was a hermaphrodite act (and as such was a notable performer), and it is not asserted one way or the other that the claim to hermphroditism was true. --Paularblaster 23:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, there are a couple of results in Google Books and Google Scholar, and being in Freaks guarantees some historical fame as one of the few sideshow acts so preserved. Should probably be moved to Josephine-Joseph, as the ambiguity of the name was the point. --Dhartung | Talk 02:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
  • But is she worth a stand-alone biography? Some content could be merged, but I don't think this is gonna be anything more than a stub. Ever.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 10:42, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
  • comment Plenty of encyclopedias have short entries in among the long ones - many of the articles currently marked "you can help by expanding this stub" might more accurately be marked "this subject deserves a short article, but please don't expand it into a longer one". --Paularblaster 23:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
