Name spelling
[edit]Many people spell Sable Starr, but her real spelling is Sabel Starr. It could be great if you correct it. Websites runned by people who met her say so, you just have to google it.
Discussion
[edit]This page has a past history of BLP problems, but we can properly source the well-known statements about her.

- This information is ridiculous that serves no purpose on Wikipedia. There’s no achievement of a groupie and no significant fame. Chasing around the famous by groupies of the 70’s isn’t relevant. I propose this groupie is relatively insignificant of a culture far gone that means nothing to 99.99% of the population.
- I saw this woman listed as famous alumni in 1971 on the Palos Verdes High School Wikipedia page.
- I also recommend the groupie category on Wikipedia be removed all together as some farce way to become famous enough to get themselves on Wikipedia. Brainchannels (talk) 16:31, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
deleted revisions
[edit]The revision listed here was deleted out of BLP concerns, but AFAIK the statements in it are supported by other sources (more reliable) that I have seen. It is a pity that the page got deleted because the author was clueless about policy, without anyone having a chance to save it. Hopefully within the next few days I have the time to write a proper article on this person. elle vécut heureuse à jamais (be free) 07:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- I just happen to be the "clueless" author who created the deleted Sable Starr article which I wrote while she was still alive. I, despite being "clueless", have found it necessary to clean up your article a wee bit; I was also constrained to add a citation request as the allegations you made involve many people who are still living. In future don't be so hasty to dub other editors "clueless". Thankyouverymuch.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:08, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- I didn't write the article, I just saved it from speedy deletion. That's all. Don't bite the messenger. elle vécut heureuse à jamais (be free) 19:09, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- Well, whoever wrote this article needs to put more work into it and add reliable sources to back up the assertions regarding Sable's "dates" with various rock personalities many of ewhom all still living which violates BLP. That was why my article on Sable was deleted. I could not locate reliable sources to back up the allegations. Unfortunately I no longer have my copy of Star Magazine nor Pam Des Barres' book; both of which could be sourced. I was not biting you, but an editor such as myself with over 70,000 edits under her belt bridles at being described as clueless even if you didn't identify me by name. Anyroad, I'm glad you saved the article from deletion, however the BLP issues still need to be resolved.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:14, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
- I have since added citations, a bit more text and an image.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:23, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Putting back Mick Jagger in Sable's list.
[edit]On page 61 of the referenced issue of Star magazine there is this question and answer: "STAR: Sable, who are some of the guys you've met in the superstar groups? SABLE: Rod Stewart, Alice Cooper, The Zeppelin, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Elton John, Marc Bolan-just about all the superstars."
So, why the previous person removed Mick Jagger, and only Mick Jagger, from her list escapes me. Can we get an explanation? PatConolly (talk) 00:30, 30 September 2021 (UTC) And from time to time, someone (maybe same person) takes it out, without explanation, and I keep putting it back.

This category of groupies needs removal
[edit]Wikipedia needs to remove the groupie category that has no purpose except encouraging masquerading the stalking of celebrities in the music business. If the groupies were journalists things would be different.
The question remains if groupie women hope to provide sexual acts putting them in the prostitute category. Brainchannels (talk) 18:25, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
