Talk: Demi Moore

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Removed the following from the article:

She became widely known by posing nude while pregnant. She also hired three cameramen to film the birth of her first child.

Firstly, she was already a famous actress before did those nude shots IIRC. Secondly, the information that she did so is useless without context. Were they pornography appearing in a pregnancy fetish magazine? Were they private shots that somehow leaked out? Where, and why is it significant.

As to the second factoid, I hardly see why that is noteworthy. Lots of people videotape the birth of their child, and if you had Ms. Moore's financial resources, why wouldn't you hire professionals? --Robert Merkel 23:46 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hm. Very consistent reasoning here. I agree with all of the above. On the other hand, we could remove thousands of chunks of text containing that sort of "useless" information from as many articles for the same reason(s). Without getting too philosophical, any event between someone's birth and their death may be considered irrelevant and unimportant by others. --KF 23:53 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Her Vanity Fair cover is more famous than most of her movies. Definitely belongs in her bio. -- Someone else 00:03 11 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I agree that it belongs in her bio with that extra detail. As to the second cut, my concern that the quote makes her, at first glance, look like some kind of kook when no such inference should really be taken. --Robert Merkel 00:07 11 Jun 2003 (UTC)
