Talk:Sarah York

Untitled

I just heard a story about this person on KCRW and found it fascinating. I went to Google her and found this article. I do not think this should be deleted. People will find her story compelling and there needs to be a place to get the facts. ----Sue Maberry (talk) 03:02, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I think this is insignificant and not notable and should be removed.--146.113.66.37 02:20, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

I strongly disagree. This is noteworth--66.207.99.134 03:11, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Notice that the earlier comment was from 10 months ago. The article as it now stands is certainly notable and sourced enough. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:20, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. The article is good and has sources. It should stay. (tyger 18:55, 28 August 2006 (UTC))

I personally know the subject of this article and have made some corrections based on her statements and what I know about her past situation. Contact me if you want to discuss.--Theloniouszen 04:34, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I've just listened to the podcast from This American Life relating this same story by Andrea Mayo (spelling?) and I have to strongly recommend that rather than giving Sarah York her own page, this should be added instead to the page on and about Manuel Noriega. It presents a very compelling counterargument to the purported character of Noriega by other sources, and I believe will help balance his page appropriately.

Year of birth

If the material we have is compatible with her having been born in 1980 or 1969, then the "1970s births" category should be replaced by the usual Year of birth missing (living people). Reasoning for her being in 1970s births seems a bit heuristic to me. Schissel | Sound the Note! 02:29, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Not that it counts officially, but Ms. York and I attended the same high school and she was two years ahead of me in school. Since I was born in 1979, that puts her born in 1977, squarely within the decade range. As a local, I can look up the media coverage here from the late 1980s to see if any of the news articles can pinpoint which year. Imzadi 1979 → 03:49, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. That seems actually fairly good evidence, as goes, from my pov. Schissel | Sound the Note! 14:13, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Main photo

I'm not sure File:Sarah york.jpg being used to identify York is acceptable per WP:BLP#Images. The file's licensing seems fine, but the photo itself seems less than desirable for a couple of reasons. York is leaning against the back of some car, holding some kind of canned beverage in her hand, and looking away from the camera. She, of course, could've been posing, but she could've just as easily been unaware that she was being photographed. I'm not saying that we should expect a publicity still showing York fully made up and smiling as the photo that identifies her, but this one does seem to unnecessarily depict her in a unfavorable way that might be too much for Wikipedia's purposes. It might actually be better to not have a photo at all than to use this one. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:55, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
