merge into another article?

I created this article because it was no longer appropriate to just have a redirect to David Petraeus when the subject is as much or more connected to John R. Allen. We could either wait for a while for more information to emerge and then fold this bio to whichever of those two bios is more appropriate or would could leave this as its own article or we could create some sort of "Petraeus affair" or "2012 U.S. Generals scandal" article that serves as a nexus for the various biographies.--Brian Dell (talk) 07:45, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Agree. It sounds as if there may be a larger article at some point. If that's the case, we may want to consider merging both the Kelley and Broadwell bios there. Jokestress (talk) 10:41, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

The scandal needs a good NAME. I heard "Pentagongate" on TV this morning, but that's just LAME.

Were it just Broadwell, I'd opt for "Broadgate" (pun intended). But it's not, so we need somethng which covers the whole shebang. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.105.218.7 (talk) 21:49, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Disagree. Her relationship with Petreaus and the intense media coverage have introduced significance. There is no reason to merge or delete this article. It will likely continue to properly develop. Jimerb (talk) 18:26, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Interesting edit at Arcadia University

On 9 February 2012, User:214.26.68.129 edited the Arcadia University article to include "Jill Kelley, B.S.C., amateur ambassador and chess player" under their notable alumni. That IP is registered to United States Central Command, where Jill Kelley volunteered as a social liaison. diff I removed it the other day because this was redlinked. Not sure I will add it back, though. Jokestress (talk) 11:05, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

NBC reports that Kelley's husband is a radiologist, not a surgeon

Any more sources for his official job title?HammerFilmFan (talk) 14:35, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Do you have a link? Broadwell's husband is a radiologist. Maybe they (or you) conflated the two men. Jokestress (talk) 19:57, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, meant to say BROAWELL's - senior moment.  :-P HammerFilmFan (talk) 15:10, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

"financial troubles"

The Washington Post has article, url title is "tampa-woman-was-hostess-to-the-military-but-had-deep-financial-troubles". If the Washington Post editors considered this notable enough for a news story, why should Wikipedians be substituting their own notability judgment to conclude this is not notable? This isn't a dispute between Wikipedians over what's notable. This is a dispute between a Wikipedian (myself) who wants Wikipedia to play the passive role neutrality suggests and flow through the notability decisions made by reliable sources and a Wikipedian who wants to substitute his or her own notability judgment. How do you know that this is not notable, beyond your own opinion? The Washington Post is not a tabloid, and this information is not included just to titillate. The Post evidently thinks there is a potential additional explanation here for why the subject is under investigation. If we are not going to include this sort of thing, then I would grant that we probably shouldn't have this article at all, because if the article is reduced to things like Jill Kelley is a Lebanese American, that sheds little light on helping people understand why there is some sort of "scandal," which is the topic that is of the most interest according to the sources.--Brian Dell (talk) 19:11, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Note also that CBS News has a story "Petraeus, Allen sided with Jill Kelley's sister in child custody battle" which says "[Jill's sister] filed for bankruptcy on April 14 citing liabilities of $3.6 million including $800,000 owed to her sister, $600,000 to a Tampa businessman, and $53,000 to the IRS. In another court case, Khawam is suing a former employer for alleged sexual harassment by a colleague and other charges. The employer denied all charges and accused Khawam of perjury and bankruptcy fraud." Now maybe there is indeed nothing to see here. But notice the article title. According to CBS, both General Allen and General Petraeus got involved in the child custody dispute involving Jill's sister. We can't just throw out all this messy soap opera stuff saying this is a BLP. It should be assessed on a case by case basis. And this material about Jill Kelley's family is too indirectly connected to Petraeus and Broadwell to file it all under "Petraeus sex scandal"--Brian Dell (talk) 19:39, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

consul

Since an honorary consul (a real position with real diplomatic functions) is a representative of a government who is not a citizen of that government's country, but a local resident which that government designated as consul, to handle local representation for its citizens in that area, there should be more about which countries that Kelley represents. -- 70.24.250.26 (talk) 06:14, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

I question whether it is a "real position with real diplomatic functions." Note the qualifier "Honorary." Edison (talk) 17:19, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Just read our article on it. "honorary" means that they are not part of the foreign service of the country they represent, they are rather external to the foreign service, but agents for it. -- 70.24.250.26 (talk) 05:36, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

This article should be kept

My feelings are for keeping this article, Ms. Kelley is now in the center of a scandal that is engrossing this nation. An article explaining who she is is relevant. I support keeping this article and expect it to grow as news around the scandal increases.
