:Note Sinatra has no credit as a producer on ''A Hole in the Head'', and is an executive producer on ''The First Deadly Sin''. More importantly, putting "director" in the opening sentence would lead the reader to believe Sinatra directed a lot more than one film and two episodes of a variety show. While this should be mentioned in the article, it is not enough to support being listed in the lead as an occupation. - ] (]) 14:00, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

A fact from this article appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on December 12, 2015.The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that after gaining a job as a singing waiter in 1938, Frank Sinatra(pictured) boasted that he would "become so big that no one could ever touch him"?
The rationale behind the request is: "Important" Addendum by Mr. Guye: Subject is very high profile and thus this is a highly visible page. The subject is long dead, so it is also stable. Lastly, it is a Good article, so it is not like we do not want people to hear it. 06:01, 8 December 2017 (UTC)".

Citation 321 - Kitty Kelly
There is a statement toward the end of the article that says "it is reported" that Sinatra became less outspoken about racism after he affiliated with Republicans. The source is Kitty Kelly, who Misplaced Pages's own page regarding Ms. Kelly points out numerous times where the accuracy of her statements were called into question. She wrote about Ronald Reagan committing date rape among other things. The page quotes Barbara Walters (not a Republican) who says that her books are more salacious than factual.
The obvious subtext of including such a line is obviously to suggest that either Republicans approve of racism or that Sinatra was pressured to tone it down.
Including this comment (i.e. "it is reported that he ...") from this dubious source appears biased and does nothing to support the article other than to taint the man for having the audacity to associate with Republicans.
There are ample reliable sources discussing Sintra as being the biological father of Ronin Farrow, so it seems odd that this isn’t even mentioned here. Indeed, it’s all over Farrow’s page so I doubt there are any BLP concerns. Thoughts about including something here? --Artificial Nagger (talk) 19:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Since there are "ample reliable sources," why not go ahead and add information about this? Or leave the sources here, and I'll do it. Dgndenver (talk) 15:35, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
After posting the reply above, I went to look for those ample sources. I didn't find any. Then I looked for those mentions on Ronan's (not Ronin) page. Couldn't find any of those, either. Dgndenver (talk) 15:42, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
