[edit] How to make Blonsky Notable in eyes of Wiki
Um, wow. Yeah Blonsky is great and everything but this wiki article fails on so many level. She hasn't really completed the role yet and isn't notable enough to have her own article... he has one actual source of info from the daily news. This needs major work.

- Ok, people need a refresher on what is needed for a person to be Notable for a wikipedia article. I will quote the guidelines here:
Notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions. Notability can be determined by: Multiple features in popular culture publications such as Vogue, GQ, Elle, FHM or national newspapers4 A large fan base, fan listing, or "cult" following An independent biography4 Name recognition Commercial endorsements
- Alright -- We have a national newspaper. But nothing else I can see, adding a site like the most recent revision did here, i understand the reason that adding their source is important but that didn't add any new information to the article! It restarted all of the other sources and was probably the shortest of the bunch. Read the notability guidelines and show me multiple national newspapers that have more then a passing reference to Nicole getting the part in hairspray. I want her to keep her article -- I just want it to pass wikipedia criteria. MrMacMan 07:50, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Just so you know, I did read the talk page before I removed the template and I am familiar with the notability guidelines. I saw that the subject was one of the stars of a major upcoming movie, and also was the subject of a segment on Entertainment Tonight and an article in the New York Daily News. You feel more strongly about this than I do, so I'm just going to leave the article alone from now on, but I don't like the implication that I just skipped in without reading the talk page and ignored the notability guidelines. janejellyroll 10:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Although more sources are always welcome, a lack of sources is not a reason to have a notability tag on the article. The Daily News article, IMDB, and a search of Google News all confirm that Ms. Blonsky was cast in the film. Now if the film ends up being scrapped I guess we can reassess her notability, but as of now she is far above the level required to have one's own article on Wikipedia. If you disagree strongly, I suppose you could request that the article be deleted through WP:AFD, but please don't replace the notability tag. Rhobite 22:29, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] elementary school?
Anyone know which elementary school Nikki attended? I wanna include her as notable alumni in the elementary schools articles. Did she attend Great Neck North Middle School too? I'm going to include that in the article. (RainingmySoul 21:25, 12 March 2007 (UTC))
