Yeah she didn't create the Powerpuff Girls or Foster's, that was her husband —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.202.186 (talk) 23:04, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Craig McCracken and Lauren Faust Will Left Cartoon Network Studios to Work at Sony Pictures Animation." What? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.199.21.19 (talk) 10:30, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How old is she?

It says no where. I have no idea how old she is — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.188.56 (talk) 17:35, 24 November 2011 (UTC) She's either 38 or 39(2012 - 1974). Can't get closer than that. Should it be put on the page? 117.194.248.146 (talk) 14:01, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at her deviantart, it's march 1st 1974, source: Her deviant art page "As many of you know tomorrow (march 1st) is my birthday and i wanted a little contest." --82.170.96.143 (talk) 00:09, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not at all clear who that page belongs to, for someone signing T.T. How do you know who that user is? Nasnema Chat 08:58, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

II turned out to be incorrect. I used the search function from her deviant art page (http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/) but I think I got sent to someone elses page. --82.170.96.143 (talk) 16:18, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Death date?

I have heard nothing of the sort concerning Faust. I suspect vandalism.

Is it really necessary to ramble about 'bronies'

This has plagued enough pages with its useless repetitive irrelevant bricks of information, surely it isn't needed on Faust's own article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.91.10 (talk) 00:24, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but what exactly do you mean? What text are you suggesting to remove? --Martynas Patasius (talk) 15:09, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

I see that "Spshu" ([1], [2]) has questioned the notability of the article's subject. While other given sources might be less good, Liz Ohanesian "Lauren Faust: Let's Hear It for the Girls", L.A. Weekly People 2012 issue, 2012-05-17 ([3]) looks rather reliable, independent and clearly discusses the subject (Lauren Faust) in depth... Wouldn't that be enough for requirements given in Wikipedia:Notability ([4])? And, of course, she would pass the "shortcut" or "alternative" requirements in WP:ENTERTAINER. For example, "Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following." ([5] - #2) seems pretty obvious.

By the way, the same source should be sufficient to support many of the statements removed in those edits (though I don't think that those sources were unsuitable - but that might be "offtopic" in this section). --Martynas Patasius (talk) 20:14, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Needs another major news outlet source that is about her or mostly cover her. She cannot just be mention in passing. Spshu (talk) 21:06, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good - [6] ("Acclaimed Animation Veteran Backs Wildlife Shelter Campaign", date posted: "Mon 12:26 AM, Apr 22, 2013", at WTVY TV, reporter Sean Sporman). In case anyone wonders, it's the one I have used in the next section, which I have saved after Spshu has written the above post.

By the way, while I did give an additional source, a single source and the part "Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following." from WP:ENTERTAINER should have been enough to demonstrate notability even without that source... --Martynas Patasius (talk) 22:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sources - DeviantArt, Twitter...

In several edits ([7], [8], [9]) user "Spshu" has removed the information referenced to Twitter, DeviantArt and IMDB (edit summaries: "remove twitter & IMDB sourced or unsourced", "nota." and "Undid revision 555545930 by Emarsee (talk) which you haven't read + WP:BLP"). While he didn't do so here, his posts on his talk page ([10], [11]), his additional point seems to be that it hasn't been proved that the Twitter and DeviantArt accounts named "fyre-flye" belong to Lauren Faust.

Thus I have tried to look for evidence - and I found [12] ("Acclaimed Animation Veteran Backs Wildlife Shelter Campaign", date posted: "Mon 12:26 AM, Apr 22, 2013", at WTVY TV, reporter Sean Sporman). It shows what it calls a post on Lauren Faust DeviantArt account. At about 0:39 the shortcut URL can be seen. It took me some effort (and one wrong try), but it is "http://fav.me/d62fs3g". As we can see, it redirects to http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/journal/Do-you-want-to-name-a-gator-Gummy-UPDATE-3-366892540 - demonstrating that http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/ belongs to Lauren Faust (and the same Lauren Faust), as reported by a reliable source. The main page of that account has a link to the Twitter: "https://twitter.com/Fyre_Flye". Quod erat demonstrandum.

Then we can look at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Using the subject as a self-published source ([13]). It lists five criteria that should be followed in order to use the writings of the subject of the article as a source. It looks like the use of those sources in this article does conform to that policy (of course, if anyone doubts that, we can discuss it in more detail).

Further comes IMDB. It is used to support the birth year. I am not extremely comfortable with that (I did add the tag - [14])... However, another source - Liz Ohanesian "Lauren Faust: Let's Hear It for the Girls", L.A. Weekly People 2012 issue, 2012-05-17 - does say "Faust, 37, grew up near Annapolis, Md. [...]". 2012 - 37 = 1975. The estimate can be expected to have an error up to a year, thus 1974 is, at least, plausible. Still, in Lithuanian Wikipedia I wrote just the equivalent of "born c. 1975"... However, it makes using the birthday awkward...

So, I guess that those removals can be reverted (at least mostly)... Does anyone disagree..? --Martynas Patasius (talk) 21:51, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DeviantArt really is not that hard to verify, see Google Books. FallingGravity (talk) 18:06, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lock this article NOW

Trust me — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.12.232.235 (talk) 08:12, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For anyone not in the know, Lauren recently went to 4chan's /mlp/ board and had a chat, which appears to be what the IP editor is worried about. FallingGravity (talk) 18:48, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Religion

Does anyone have any information we could add to the article on Lauren Faust's religious beliefs? --Streona (talk) 18:13, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If she has mentioned what those beliefs may or may not be in a reliable source, feel free to add them; I've not heard of such as of yet. Not everyone's religious beliefs are notable or even known. I'm not sure how notable her beliefs would even be (if anyone even knew what they were) unless they were publicly discussed or she's notable for having those beliefs (or something she's notable for was influenced by those beliefs), rather than just being a notable person who happens to believe something. I'd doubt her beliefs would pass the notability test even if anyone knew what they were. 2601:1:C100:2D80:71D7:585E:E8AF:6A63 (talk) 21:55, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
