[edit] Drug use

I reverted drug "use" to drug "abuse". Whether she uses drugs is not in question - she takes perscription medication for schizophrenia. The abuse is related to illegal substances. -- StAkAr Karnak 11:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] vital dates

I believe I heard that Ms. Holloway passed away, perhaps in late 2006 or earlier this year. I don't have sufficient confidence in my recollection to suggest a specific edit, but perhaps the author of the page could check into it and update the page if appropriate.

Rumors of her demise have been exaggerated. She is alive and about, still living in New Haven. --Needscurry 11:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

I don't see much discussion on the deletion page. There is a single claim that the page does not meet the standards for notability. This page seems to contain a lot of information, however. Does the information not have valid sources? What, if any, of the information is suitable for inclusion on wikipedia? The redirect to God Didn't Give Me a Week's Notice is a feeble reduction--it cuts out all of the information. It seems ridiculous, in my opinion, to have a wikipedia page about a documentary about a person, but no wikipedia page about the person itself. Shouldn't it be the other way around? If the information does not fit the standards of wikipedia then the information should be removed but I think the "solution" of redirecting this page to the documentary's page is a bit absurd. I think these points need to be explained in a debate. If they are adequately addressed, I have no problem with deleting the offending information, or the page if it comes to that.

If you feel that the redirection wasn't warranted, you may want to take it to deletion review. I've reverted it back to a redirect for now (as per the AFD result). Kesac (talk) 19:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
