Talk:Cathy Areu

message: How do we go about getting this page (and the one for Catalina Magazine - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalina_(magazine) ) - marked as potentially fraudulent?  There is no evidence that I can find that this is even the woman's name.  The only results that appear when searching her name are for appearances on Fox News in which she engages in egregious sensationalized behavior.  It is likely that she is a Fox News plant.  Similarly, 'Catalina Magazine' does not seem to even exist - its web page is a front with no links.   Without any evidence or source, can these two pages please be flagged, highlighted as potential frauds, or removed?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel347x (talk • contribs) 23:52, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

text: I second this as fraudulent. This seems to be someone who was paid under a pseudonym to elicit certain responses. It shouldn't be taken seriously or validated. No search results confirm anything other than supporting evidence of a fake identity and random appearances on obviously one-sided political show extracts. I support deletion or else flagging as highly controversial.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sweetnamemb (talk • contribs) 23:52, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: However much her new popularity playing liberal Diane to Tucker Carlson's Sam may irritate the posters above-- I'm think it's fun, a relief from all the political vitriol-- she is who she claims to be. The link to the 2004 Washington Post article featuring her still works. It gives Areu several paragraphs. "The magazine's founder, Cathy Areu, 33, is the daughter of Cuban immigrants, and she briefly freelanced for Latina Style in 2001. If Latina Style is the Hispanic version of Working Woman and Working Mother magazines, Catalina describes itself as "Oprah meets Real Simple meets Ladies Home Journal." Areu taught high school journalism, reported for People and contributed articles to USA Weekend and The Washington Post before starting her magazine in 2002. She sold her 1999 Jetta for $15,000 to help cover the cost of the first issue of the magazine... The magazine had a circulation of about 30,000 in its first year. Last year, the magazine went bimonthly and increased its distribution outlets to Whole Foods Market IP and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., and airlines."Profhum (talk) 04:44, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Washington Post link works, confirms her notability, do not delete article 

message: I can find no indication that Catalina has published for a fair while; should we change the "is the founding publisher" to "was the founding publisher" in the first paragraph? --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:39, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: We could say "In 2001 she founded", etc, as we do in the body. That leaves it open. SarahSV (talk) 01:08, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Past-tensing Catalina 

message: I've tagged the article for notability. The only things that even look like the sort of reliable sourcing we want for notability are the Washington Post sources... and they were produced at a time when she was writing for them, they allowed her to claim the title of "contributing editor", and one is primarily about the magazine while the other is a matter of the Post handling the very internal concern that they she should not be wielding that title. Beyond that, it's bureaus that appear to represent her as a speaker, or database material, or things she wrote rather than things that are about her. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:21, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: A quick Google search did not show any news articles on the subject since early December. We need reliable sources (and unpublished records do not normally qualify as such under our rules) to update the article. Donald Albury 13:57, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
