Untitled[edit]

I have substantially rewritten this article. This should make the article conform to the content shown in other fashion designers entries.

Basic question...[edit]

Is the article supposed to be about the individual or her company? The body of the article is about the individual yet it has a company infobox with the name of her company and company details. Confused... – ukexpat (talk) 16:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the AfD linked above, you'll see that the article is about the person, it was written mostly by her husband in violation of multiple Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and the result from the AfD was to keep the article but rewrite it. Her husband continues to edit the article as if it's an advertisement for her and her companies. What we need is to identify some good biographies from which to rewrite the article. --Ronz (talk) 17:50, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have switched the infobox for the appropriate one. Mfield (talk) 06:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Links moved to talk[edit]

I moved these links to the talk page in case some could be used as references in the future. --Ronz (talk) 17:50, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Biography[edit]

I just added the proper WikiProject Biography banner template with the relevant parameters to this talk page. Even though the article now has an (appropriate) ibox and persondata template, I am leaving those parameters set to "yes" because there is information missing from both. – ukexpat (talk) 16:27, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
