Proposed merge of Ravenseat Farm into Amanda Owen

The farm has no notability except through Owen; most of this article is not about the farm but about the general area and placenames etc. Most of the lead paragraph could usefully be added to the article on Owen, rather than have a freestanding article on the farm. Redirect from farm name to Owen article. PamD 20:37, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support merger. I can't see any reason for two articles on essentially the same subject.Tammbeck ^talk 08:03, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Wikipedia:Notability_(geographic_features)#No_inherited_notability, farm does not appear to be known for anything beyond being Owen's home. --Lord Belbury (talk) 14:15, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support merger into new article called Our Yorkshire Farm with most information about the Channel 5 show - now one of their most popular programmes.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.238.125 (talk • contribs) 14:41, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:27, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MarnetteD

MarnetteD (who lives in Wheat Ridge, Colorado!!!) reverted all my work/information that was added last night. I do not think this was done in good faith, as anyone who watches the show (a programme that was on television in the United Kingdom at 6pm last night [23rd June 2021] and repeated endlessly on Together TV at the moment) knows this to be true. And to be complete, this should probably include her appearances on the Nicholson's Cannon Hall Farm, when she was a guest on those Channel 5 live on the farm programmes a couple of weeks ago with Helen Skelton and Jules Hudson (Reuben Owen also was a guest on the series doing a couple of restoration/enginerring projects including a tractor the first time). I cannot see any vandalism contained in the following information as its all come from Together TV or Channel 5... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.238.125 (talk • contribs) 14:41, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Television work

Amanda Owen and her family first appeared as regulars on Adrian Edmondson's 2011 ITV documentary series The Dales (repeated on Together TV in 2021),^[1]^[2]^[3] alongside the Reverend Ann Chapman, the vicar of four small churches, and a number of other people living in the Yorkshire Dales. At that point, the Owen family was comprised of Amanda, Clive and their five young children.

In November 2015, the family appeared in an episode of New Lives In The Wild UK with Ben Fogle, a Channel 5 programme which is made by Warner Brothers' Renegade Pictures.^[4]^[5] Their appearance led to their own observational documentary series following life on the Owens' farm on Channel 5 called Our Yorkshire Farm, which has become one of the channel's most popular programmes with over 3 million viewers watching each episode.^[6]^[7]^[8]

Children

Given the TV series I suppose the children's ages are worth including ... but has someone got access to book sources which could give actualy years for their births, so we don't have the instantly-out-of-date actual ages? I could convert them all to a pair of possible birth years (eg 19 in Nov 2021 = born in 2001 or 2002), but that always looks a bit clunky. PamD 22:58, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edith and Violet's birthdays are shown in the recent series with the ages of the other children mentioned in passing by narrator Ralf Little. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.236.131 (talk) 18:33, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive breeding

Excessive breeding (9 children!), with the resulting excessive consumption is resources, excessive manufacturing, etc., It's on track to make the planet uninhabitable fire most of the human race. Is there a way of incorporating this information in an article that depends upon farming being sustainable? 86.147.171.249 (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If she's drawn criticism for this in the press or somewhere similar, it could perhaps be quoted, although the article doesn't say anything either way about sustainable farming or environmental issues at the moment. --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:54, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia probably has a policy about no fear mongering ~~ Kind Regards, NotAnotherNameGuy (talk) 13:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Image Vs article

The article is about a person, yet the image is of a farm.

Can a suitable image of the subject of the article be used instead, as is normal for Wikipedia articles about people? 86.147.171.239 (talk) 04:08, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For a living person, a photo would need to be found that was released under a suitable licence: public domain, creative commons or similar. If you know of one, or have taken one yourself and are willing to release it under those terms, you're welcome to upload it and add it to the article. --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:50, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
