Notability

Not really deserving of a Wiki page at all, really. Why is she here again? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.105.243.107 (talk) 05:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The relevent policy is Wikipedia:Notability. An WP:Articles for deletion (Afd) proposal would be the way to go, if you want to follow it up. -- John (Daytona2 · Talk · Contribs) 11:40, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB page + significant roles in at least 32 episodes of four notable TV shows + the press sources amount to pretty solid notability in my eyes. tomasz. 18:56, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Volten Sins MySpace site

It's better if The Volten Sins MySpace site is listed last so that all of the Jessie Jacobs websites can be in order. May she rest in peace. By adding The Volten Sins MySpace site her fans can learn more about her band and by adding the Railroad Station that she died at everyone who's not from Australia will know more about the Train Station where the accident happened. MySpace and Facebook provide information that Wikipedia doesn't have. Sincerely, (~~71.68.223.17~~)

To The Person Who Said Jess Jacob's Article Shouldn't Be Here

Why shouldn't there be an article about her? Jessica Jacobs was a really talented young Australian actress. She appeared in a number of children's TV shows. If she hadn't been taken away from everyone that loves her so much she could've gone really far with her acting.

Who are you to say that she shouldn't get a Wikipedia page? Just because you haven't heard of her doesn't mean everyone else hasn't. If you're not from Australia then you wouldn't have heard about Jess.

She's more known than you are and she contributed more to society than you do. When you become famous you can write an article about yourself. I really hope none of Jess's family or friends have seen this because if so it's really disrespectful for them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.115.135 (talk) 12:48, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To The Idiot Who Keeps Putting in the Wrong Birthplace

I think I should know where she was born since I was her uncle and was present at the birth. It was Canberra, ACT. Whatever source you are using has incorrect information. It is WRONG to say she was born in Melbourne when this is NOT the case. It is very disrespectful when I have taken the trouble to come and correct this nonsense that it keeps getting ruined by some idiot who obviously has never even met her and therefore does not know what he is talking about. 120.18.213.233 (talk) 08:39, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cousins

I have reverted an addition of the names of her cousins. That is a trivial fact, which should not be included unless a reliable source demonstrates its significance. St Anselm (talk) 09:59, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Name

The first time we refer to her by her name, we use "Jessica Jacobs". After that, she is "Jacobs". We do not generally refer to her as "Jessica". We never refer to her as "Jessie". Please see our manual of style. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 21:59, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Her death

Jacobs, as sourced, fell onto the tracks and died immediately when the train hit her. Adding "from her injuries" is absurdly obvious and, therefore, pointless. We could say, "She died very quickly after the train hit her as a result of injuries caused to her body by the train hitting her and pushing her along a portion of the tracks at a high rate of speed." We don't.

More to the point, that she "couldn't get out of the way in time" is both unnecessary and speculative. Yes, a theory is discussed in one of the sources that she jumped in front of the train. As our article does not discuss this theory, we do not need to (nor should we) add unsourced theoretical info to refute it. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 22:05, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear IP

1. Australians "finish" or "leave" school. Americans "graduate". 2. "the second actress to portray Melanie Atwood" looks a lot more encyclopaediac than "Melanie Atwood #2". 3. removing the URL template from her father's official site is vandalism.
