On the recent edits here...[edit]

On the recent edits here – e.g. this one, and the ones following it – are problematic on several fronts:

  • This article is devoted to Tiera Skovbye, not her sister Ali Skovbye, so details about which roles the latter played are effectively out of WP:SCOPE for this article and are not germane.
  • As User:MPFitz1968 said in his edit summary, Wikias and and IMDb are WP:NOTRS, as per WP:USERGENERATED. There are even further issues with IMDb that are covered under WP:RS/IMDb and WP:Citing IMDb – in short, as User:Amaury stated, IMDb should only be used as an 'External link', and never as an "inline source" attempting to verify a contentious fact, especially at a WP:BLP.
  • There is nothing at WP:FILMOGRAPHY that says that multiple appearances on the same TV program "must" be covered under a single entry in the Filmography table. Yes, sometimes that is done, when it makes sense. Here is does not – Skovbye played the same guest role in 2 different years on R. L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series, and then played a different guest role in an intervening year – situations like this are exactly when it makes sense to cover these guest appearances as two separate entries in the Filmography table, rather than as "one entry" that uses undue-line breaks.

I am posting this here in lieu of the editor who decided to Edit war rather than discuss these issues themself. --IJBall (contribstalk) 18:36, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of her sister and that she is an actress is sufficient. More information about her sister than that is unnecessary, if her sister were notable and had an article, the link to that article would cover that. I think the info about the roles she played was in lieu of a reference supporting that her sister is a actress. A secondary source supporting that would be nice to have.

I think I looked for that in the past, but the sister's parts have been too low-profile to generate coverage. But, in light of this, I may look again... --IJBall (contribstalk) 22:10, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Follow-up@Geraldo Perez: OK, I found this, but it's not very good for this, as it doesn't really list some of Ali's previous roles. There's also this bio from Hallmark Channel, which I guess could work, but it's more of a "primary" than a "secondary" source... --IJBall (contribstalk) 22:16, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@IJBall: Any would work, the only thing that is need for this article is to show she is an actress, what she acted in is beyond what is needed in her sister's article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 22:24, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK – I went with the Hallmark bio, as it's a fairly complete summary of Ali Skovbye's career. --IJBall (contribstalk) 22:30, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
