Filmography

The comment below is copied from Wikipedia:Reference desk/Entertainment:

I am writing to you because there are two films that are not listed in my filmography. "L.A. Story" 1990 and "Somewhere" 2010. They are not listed on IMDB either. I was cut out of LA Story I receive residual checks for it. I play the mother in Somewhere which is Sofia Coppola's new film being released in Dec. I don't know why it's so difficult to get this information verified. I can send you copies of residuals or contracts or pay stubs. I do not have representation right now. But you can verify with American Zeotrope Films or The Directors Bureau ask for Roman Coppola. This is a huge part for me and I like people to know I'm still working.

Thank you kindly,

Yes but if you don't appear in the final cut of LA Story then it can't really be included in your filmography, can it? I see you've added both films to the list, anyway. I think LA Story should be removed but I will wait to see if anyone else has a view before doing so. --Viennese Waltz 10:18, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jimbo added a reference for the Somewhere role, but LA Story is still unreferenced. Since it is not listed on IMDb (which is odd considering they do list roles even if they're left on the cutting room floor), I think a ref is probably needed. As far as I know, even if the subject didn't make the final cut of the film it can be listed in their filmography. Considering the size of Ms. Sloatman's filmography, I don't have a huge problem with it being included (with a ref, of course). Pinkadelica ^♣ 03:04, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life content

I have restored the content relating to the subject's personal life (dating Corey Haim, etc.) because it actually is reliably sourced despite this edit summary to the contrary. Unless policy has changed, People magazine is an acceptable source as are books that are published by a legitimate publishing houses. As for it being "gossip", I believe that is a matter of opinion. I hate to use a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument, but there are several FA and GAs here that have such information included. If the content is actually that bothersome, I suggest an RfC be opened so the community can decide if this is content constitutes as "gossip" that should be left out.
