[edit] Oppose merger (Re: Judy Garland as gay icon)

Well, that didn't take long at all, did it? I obviously oppose the notion of merging the articles. This article is already 44 kB long and will be getting longer as more material is added in an effort to get it to Featured Article status. There are plenty of independent reliable sources that are specifically about or discuss in some detail her status as a gay icon, more than enough to support the article as a standalone per WP:SUMMARY. In response to a suggestion at Peer review I plan on adding a "legacy" section to the main article which will mention her iconic status but the material if merged would give undue weight to the sub-topic.

• Oppose. Per WP:UNDUE if nothing else. If all that material was introduced other editors would rightly push for its trimming or removal, a concise summary here is more appropriate. Benjiboi 15:43, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

• The proposing editor has switched the mergeto target to Gay icon so I've removed the tag from this article. Otto4711 (talk) 16:03, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

• Lol. well I removed it from that one for essentially the same reasons. Benjiboi 16:53, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Opposed as discussed here above and on previous occasions- the subject can be a significant sub-article or stand alone article - however it appears that historicly the subject has not been well referenced even though there has been much written on the subject.Vono (talk) 17:23, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Judy Garland and YANK magazine

Judy Garland is credited with being one of the people photographed as a pinup for the YANK magazine

I can not find any reference to her being in YANK. Can anyone provide issue/date information? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.202.183 (talk) 22:32, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
