	The following comments have been left for this page: It is reasonably comprehensive, and it has inline citations, but the writing is simply to poor to warrant a B-rating. Lampman 19:14, 23 March 2007 (UTC) (edit)

It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality.

Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

[edit] Location of Church

The location of the church where she was maried was recently removed from the entry. It said "dana point, ca" is this where the church is? If so, I will revert the edit.

Does she rally merit her own entry? Has she done anything to be notable apart from being married to Kobe? DJ Clayworth 16:20, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)

There seems to be a lot more interest in her with the Kobe sexual assault case.

She's not notable enough for her own article. The relevant information should be put in the Kobe article. Dreamyshade 03:46, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. Suvablee0506 03:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, with a picture. : ) Donmega60645 18:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, and if I knew how to remove it I would. She is Kobe's wife, and nothing more. As such she should not have her own article. To quote the WP style guide:

"Red links should not be created for topics that will never have articles, such as a celebrity's romantic interest (who is not a celebrity in his or her own right) or every chapter in a book."

[edit] Lakers and Rockets

The Lakers didn't lose to the ROckets in 7 games - they won in 5. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/playoffs?round=1

[edit] it's not about perceived importance... it's about quality and accuracy

I have begun doing research on the backgrounds and lives of women married to professioanl athletes. This information has been useful to me. So I disagree with those above who suggest its removal.

Generally, if an article already exists and is managed for accuracy, I cannot see how it's removal would benefit wikipedia or its users. Because the entries rely on intentional searches and links, there is no danger of having the wikipedia space become too congested (meaning this article will likely remain unknown to me unless i am looking for it or something related to it) and info on obscure or niche information can be made found more easily. To suggest removal of niche entries is suggest removing one of the key strengths of an instantly searchable and linkable database. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.164.66.60 (talk) 09:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC).

there's a difficult line to draw here--perhaps someone will be doing a research project on the lives of women married to members of state legislators. (Being a member of a state legislature is current regarded as automatically N for WP purposes) Should we have articles on them all? Someone may some day want to do a study on the parents of professional athletes. Or on the on the children. Or on the grandchildren.

Looking at another aspect, as it is, you're not getting them all--you are getting only the relatively few that have WP articles. is this a fair sample for your research?DGG 20:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't think she really needs her own article, this is kind of going too far. Tayquan ^holla_{My work} 00:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Under the wikipedia guidelines there should not be articles on celebrity wives/husbands/girlfriends/boyfriends, UNLESS they are in fact a celebrity in their own right. This article should be removed. This person is of no note, other than being married to Kobe Bryant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.5.191.140 (talk) 08:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I would say her involvement in the sexual assault scandal made her more of a public figure & celebrity(maybe not in a good way), at least at one time. Klinky (talk) 02:29, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
