If Mildred Lisette Norman is worth a biographical entry, this might be a detail. Wetman 13:28, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I think Wetman implies a switch of title. I disagree that current evidence supports this.
- I knew someone who knew her daily-life name (MLN) when she was active as PP, but my friend considered that rare enuf to remark on it: PP made a point of being known only as PP, in order (my impression was) to make the statement "my individuality is insignificant to my message; my significance is that if i can do this without being a big-time activist, anyone can speak out for peace if they care enough to do so, and anyone who isn't should be asking themself what's keeping them from caring enough".
- PP got press coverage, i think local mainstream press, when she was "walking for peace" in a given area, during Viet war. (My recollection was that she would walk many tens of miles from town to town in the course of a bout of "walking for peace".) I have never heard of her book; that doesn't imply she is unworthy of listing as MLN, but:
- IMO she may deserve listing as PP on the basis of past press coverage;
- If MLN deserves listing, someone needs to find evidence of it. (I assume no one knows the MLN name except from personal contact, reading a little known book, or noticing her obit (i did) and making note of the name MLN (i didn't).)
- IMO, listing as MLN is appropriate only if her writing is well enuf known to serve as a basis for listing her; in that case, make PP the redir to MLN. Otherwise, make "MLN" text (not link) in PP article, or possibly delete. --Jerzy 17:35, 2004 Jan 2 (UTC)
[edit] Birth Name
My term "earlier name" reflected my ignorance of whether MLN is a married name. If we have evidence it wasn't, i suggest it be mentioned here on Talk:Peace Pilgrim --Jerzy 19:37, 2004 Jan 3 (UTC)
[edit] This needs fleshing out
Speaking as someone who is completely ignorant of this person and her actions and her importance, this article is much too sketchy to be of much use. I hope to learn more as this page grows. Paul, in Saudi 17:41, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
