[edit] notability
This appears to be a vanity entry and should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.204.8.198 (talk • contribs) 16:30, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
It seems to me that this article is very much a vanity article as the person above noted. Taking into account the fact that the entire article was written by one person and is completely uncited, it seems likely to me that the main contributer to this article is actually Hrdy or someone close to her, though I guess there is a chance it is someone just horribly bad at recording where they obtained their information from. I an unable to find any non wiki entries on the internet(Yes, I know there are other sources than the internet, but bare with me) for much of the information contained on this page. It seems that many statements are made through personal research. Additionally, this article does not read like an encyclopedia article all, at times it seems mote like an A&E autobiography than an encyclopedia entry. Even though this is still quite apparent, it its even worse if one goes back and looks at the original entries made by "Donna Curtis". Although I am not an expert on notability guidelines on Wikipedia, I do believe that it is reasonable for Hrdy to have an article, but an article that sources nothing and seems like a vanity article is not the way to have the article. This article needs to have some serious work on it. I was going to just remove everything that I that did not have citations, then I realized NOTHING was cited, then I decided to try to cite some things and then delete whatever I could not find but then I found that I was unable to find citations for large portions of the article and I decided to just leave it be until I got someone else's opinion on what should be done to this article. --Awhislyle 18:14, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- No, Hrdy is notable and well cited. I'll dig up some cites over the next few days. --Lquilter (talk) 19:48, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
We need a pronunciation note after her name. How is Hrdy pronounced? Richard001 (talk) 05:54, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
