Speculation regarding former marital status[edit]

After a conversation with Kato herself, I believe any further edits pertaining to her former marital status should be immediately removed, as falling under WP:BLP, Section 2, subsection 2 (Contentious material that is unsourced or poorly sourced) and subsection 3 (Avoid gossip), and Section 3, subsection 3 (Privacy of personal information). The other party involved in this situation wishes to continue to remain anonymous (and speculation on his page has historically been removed as a WP:BLP violation), and Kate has said she wishes not to be associated with him publicly in any manner, citing emotional distress. Let's respect both their wishes and leave such matters out of Wikipedia. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 23:21, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Unless anyone points out a reliable source that discusses this we shouldn't even consider re-adding it. The guiding policy is WP:BLP, which instructs us generally to use "greatest care" with contentious information about living people, and specifically that all contentious information about living persons must be sourced. Thanks! VQuakr (talk) 23:45, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input and support. I was reading from WP:BLP but my brain wrote WP:BIO instead. Fixed. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 02:51, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?[edit]

Someone flagged her for notability? Seriously? She's like the most recognizable face in an entire subculture. How can that not be notable?

Among other reasons, Kate Lambert meets the notability requirements for the following:

WP:AUTHOR, section 1: She is the most widely recognized face in the entire steampunk subculture. She has been on the cover of multiple magazines, even outside the genre, and has even been the judge of a steampunk-themed television game show.

WP:AUTHOR, section 3: She founded the first steampunk clothing company and is the most widely-known steampunk clothes designer.

WP:NMODEL, section 2: She definitely has a large fan base and a significant "cult" following. (Pretty much the entirety of the steampunk community, and a large segment of peripheral subcultures such as goth.)

If you know of any other reasons why she should qualify (I'm no expert on the notability section, those are just a couple I found after a brief look), please feel free to contribute. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 01:43, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Jonnybgoode44: I agree that she is notable because she has third-party reliable sources discuss her. Just because she has "cult" following that is not wiki notable. I do belive this article is a Strong Keep and plan to remove some of the warning tags. Geraldshields11 (talk) 17:30, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The person is a cover model for several magazine issues in the subject. As of August 21, 2018, the references do not to be improved. Geraldshields11 (talk) 17:36, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
