Talk:Patrecia Scott

message: The line:
He and Patrecia moved to California and married. She was becoming noticed in theatrical circles when a drowning accident ended her life.
does not define "He" and therefore makes no sense.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.7.168.70 (talk) 20:51, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why would she have taken a suggestion from Rand as to what name to take?  Why would Rand have given such a suggestion? Шизомби (talk) 22:13, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  When did it occur in relation to Branden's relationship with her?  If it was after, I'm surprised Rand would have been on good terms with her? Шизомби (talk) 17:46, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wynand 

message: As it stands this article is about Rand and Branden, not about the real live person that was Patrecia Scott.  The article seems hardly notable.  Its existence seems to be merely part of the PARC wars.  Perhaps the article can be expanded to dela with what Scott accomplished in life, rather than her accidental status as the wife of a man who had had an infamous affair.  If less can be written on Scott herself than on the affair the article should be deleted.  Kjaer (talk) 23:49, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Notability

message: I have just read every edit to this page since its inception.  Other than edit warring between the pro- and anti-James Valliant factions within the Objectivist subculture, there has been one and only one substantive content based edit out of 80 in three years, the addition of the fact that Patrecia took the stage name Wynand at Rand's request.
I have to come to the conclusion that this article exists not due to Patrecia Scott's own inherent notability, but because of the accident of her connection to Nathaniel Branden at the time of his split from Ayn Rand.  Frankly, I think it is obscene to use a real live person who died tragically as a pawn in what amounts to a cultish feud.  Were there any attempt by any editor to research Patrecia Scott's actual acting career, we could assume there was some interest in her as a person.  The fact that there is no such interest in her is made clear by the edits to this page.
I suggest that this article be deleted as not notable, and that the relevant information be merged into either the Nathaniel Branden or the Objectivist movement article.
Another possible suggestion would be to minimize the reference to the Rand/Branden split (which is not about Patrecia Scott as a person) and add a simple linking sentence along these lines: 
Patrecia Scott, a student at the Objectivist NBI institute began an affair with its founder, Nathaniel Branden, whom she later married.  This was a factor in Branden's split with his partner, mentor, and former lover, Ayn Rand.
That sentence should be unobjectionable to both sides of the Valliant feud.  Then we can see if anyone adds anything else of note.
As an experiment, I am changing the repeatedly edited middle section to this neutral version.
But I support outright deletion.  Kjaer (talk) 05:26, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggested for Deletion

message: Thanks for the cite Kjaer, but it still doesn't appear to support the bit about the dog. Unless that's also mentioned on the same page? TallNapoleon (talk) 22:08, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
