Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 12:26, 7 December 2007

This article was nominated for deletion on 24 August 2007. The result of the discussion was keep.

Let's work to provide proper references for the sources of information on this page, shall we? I added a "References" section and included the first item. Be advised that I am new to Misplaced Pages, so I would appreciate the guidance of more experienced members. Regards, Jerseycube

Hi, I'm not new, but remain a knucklehead. I don't know why my name was deleted from the list of Cuban Americans. However. I am one of those Cubans and a screenwriter, too. Someone told me my name had been deleted and I came to check, then I tried to fix it -- feebly. Please, refer to my page, which is small and you may wish to refer to the IMDb -- although not everything I've done as a screenwriter or actress is listed there. I am a screenwriter/actress. Manny is a producer/screenwriter, etc., so he should be on the screenwriters list, too. I'm alone on that list. Please, if you'd be so kind as to correct the order, if needed, of place me somewhere else on the list. Thanks so much Mig 00:52, 5 April 2007 (UTC) Oooops! Our names are very Googleable and this will appear on the Web if my name or Manny's name are on it. Please check out Manny's, and my name, from the roster of Cuban-Americans. Sorry --Mig 01:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello Mig. Screenwriter and actress supreme you may be, good wikipedia editor you are not! Please remember not to add your signature to the articles themselves in future. Good luck!-- Zleitzen 14:59, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, thank you! Darn tootin' and I signed my name twice. Having added Jaime Suchlicki to the list of CA political leaders. I've got to have quiet time. So sorry -- the instructions said to sign and I follow directions like a good CAP. Mig --

References for "Manny tha Great"

Google came up empty on "Manny tha Great" and there are no references for this person, so I have deleted the entry. I've never heard of this person. Thanks in advance for any help. Jerseycube 17:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC) Jerseycube

Mig 14:03, 9 July 2007 (UTC) Who was Natasha? The Argentine-Cuban bombshell? There was no reference.

Walt Disney was Right

Jaime Suchliki was one of my professors at UM in the 1970s. Walt Disney was right: it's a small world, after all. Jerseycube 17:45, 6 April 2007 (UTC) Jerseycube

Hi, Jerseycube -- Jaime's wife Carol sent me an email in that he considers himself a writer. So I moved him. Hope it's okay. He's written many historical books on Cuba and Mexico, i.e. Cuba: From Columbus to Castro, now in its fourth edition, and Mexico: From Montezuma to NAFTA (1996). Mig 14:38, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Your help is much more than okay: it is very much appreciated. Happy Easter! Jerseycube 03:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your well wishes, Jerseycube! I need them now more than ever. I wonder if I could start a prayer chain of some sort -- just kidding/not. In any event, Carol Suchlicki sent me another email in which she says that Jaime is better known for his books than for the Bene debacle. I guess Bene is rather controversial in Miami -- a place where controversy reigns supreme. Take care and all that good stuff. Does cube stand for Cuban? -- just curious. Mig 16:45, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Can't edit the stuff on me -- I don't think the links are working. Please, help me!!!Mig 00:56, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Mig 21:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC)== Misc? ==

None of Oscar Torre acting credits has a link or checked out as being in existence. His biographical page seems self-serving. Mig 11:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC) Okay, why was the Screenwriter category deleted? I was the only person on the list. Migdia Chinea Mig 17:37, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I tried to edit it myself and did an awful job of it, please change as you see fit. If you go to IMDb, I have some stuff there -- not everything makes it, just the stuff that has aired. Now -- I'm in the middle of coking for my family who will be here any second! Happy Mother's Day

I'm open to suggestions for creating a new section to place Lily Estefan, Raul Molina, reality show contestants and other television personalities who are not reporters/journalists on the Entertainment category. How about "Television Personalities"?

Note that I have renamed "References" to "Footnotes" and have reformatted the footnotes for consistency. I'm a newbie at this and would appreciate feedback. Jerseycube 19:20, 6 April 2007 (UTC) Jerseycube

Good work Jeseycube, everything looks fine.-- Zleitzen 16:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Added Orlando Leal, Leon Ichaso and Camilo Vila in the directors category -- Mariane Pearl to the journalists, authors category -- I'm still the only woman screenwriter. Pathetic.Mig 07:46, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Nelson Gonzalez is probably another spammer. Mig 21:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC) What's this LOOOOONG entry by Orestes Matacena? Is it his resume?Mig 16:01, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Isabel Perez Farfante has no link to anything at all. I've deleted the entry until there's something of note.Mig 16:50, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Armando Fernandez has nothing about him vis-a-vis the mouse pad. This must be a joke. I've deleted the entry until something of note can be found. Mig 16:50, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Orlando Sanchez is a comedian, nor has he ever been to my knowledge a serious candidate for any local Miami election. Mig 17:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Enrique Lopez is very likely another spammer Mig 21:18, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Orestes Matacena and Ruben Rabasa's self-advertising entries. Mig 21:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC) Edited with citations Mig 03:05, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Oscar Torre doesn't check out. His bio seems self-advertising. His acting credits don't link up to anything. I deleted him until his information can be verified. Please check out his Misplaced Pages bio page. Mig 11:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC) Ricardo Perez cannot be verified, I've deleted him until something comes up Mig 16:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Jorge Moreno -- well, nothing checked out - and I looked all over the net. I don't believe that being "discovered" by Madonna is a calling card until some accomplishments exist. I have deleted him until some further information on Moreno can be found. Please, forgive me, as I apologize and thank you for your patience. Mig 13:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I have added great Afro-Cuban master percussionist Francisco Aguabella to the Famous Cuban-Americans list -- I've met him and he's one of the most modest and nicest guys ever --- his old-world manners remind me of my own dad. Gee, if anyone deserves to be here, it is he. Mig 13:47, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Molnar deleted until further information is available. Please, assist. Mig 16:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Ramon Rodriguez Torres has no coroborating information on him. Until further notice, his name was deleted.Mig 12:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, despite the fact that talent is a subjective issue, I had added their names: Leon Ichaso, Camilo Vila, Orlando Jimenes Leal and Orestes Matacena. Ther are filmmakers with accomplishments. Why were their names removed? Mig 13:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Migdiachinea (talk • contribs)

It appears Ichaso was added incorrectly by one of his friends. He was not linked properly and was not alphabetical. I have deleted it until I'm able to take care of it properly Mig 20:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Migdiachinea (talk • contribs)

I'm shocked at how many people spam this page. Names are added with no point of reference. I have deleted Mari Ichaso from the list of journalists because she had no links to anything at all and spammers out there keep bringing her, along with others into this website -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Migdiachinea (talk • contribs) 21:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

With respect to Mari Ichaso, who was deleted -- she has NO links to her accomplishments at all. Can someone, please, advice. Mig 12:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I have tried to sign and the signature does not show up -- Mig Sept. 10, 2007Mig 03:28, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I have tried signing several times and the signature never shows up -- Mig —Preceding unsigned comment added by Migdiachinea (talk • contribs) 21:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC) Mig 02:08, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I guess I couldn't sign from another computer -- so sorry.

Deletion template

Take it off! Badagnani 22:10, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, please -- take it all off Mig 03:26, 15 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Migdiachinea (talk • contribs)

Mercedes de Acosta was deleted from miscellaneous because she's already listed under writers. Mig 07:21, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Non-Notability and Duplicate Names

• Non-notable names should not be added to the list. I have repeatedly removed Maria Arias Rodham from the list because she isn't non-notable because she HASN"T DONE ANYTHING. Marrying the wife of the brother of the former first lady of the USA does NOT make one famous. The person should have a career or life that has been productive and notable by press coverage or by contributions to society. Please stop adding her name. I had a similar dispute with administrators who deleted an article for Waleska Martinez, a passenger aboard of United 93. Although she died on that tragic flight she was considered non-notable and deleted. If Waleska who is more famous than Ms. Arias didnt get an article why should a housewife in Florida (like Ms. Arias) get one? Use common sense here!

Second, names should only appear on the list twice under the category they fit best under. If names were to be repeated all over the list, than not only will it look redundant but also will become unmanageable. Please check if the name is already on the list before deleting it.

Third, families who are multinational such as the Bacardis should not be added to the list. Members of the family are living in Nassau, Bahamas and in Puerto Rico operating businesses with the family name. Many of these members were not born in Cuba nor posses Cuban citizenship or have any ties with Cuba. Don Barcardi was not even born in Cuba as he is a native Catalan from Sitges, Spain.

Fourth, entries on the list should have an article. The screenwriter for the flopped show "Cane" is really non-notable. When clicking on her name, I am automatically directed to the article for the series.

Fifth, names that do not have any hits after a Google search are really vanity pages. II have deleted entries on this list that are clearly self-serving vanity entries. Make sure that the entry has numerous on-line citations before adding them.

Please discuss your point on this page. Any further attempts to undo the corrective and positive edits I have taken will be addressed to an administrator(s).

Thank you!--XLR8TION (talk) 12:26, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
