Talk:Sean Flynn (photojournalist)

message: Is the recent apparently unilateral renaming of the article as described below in Unilateral retitling of page? properly done in terms of WP guidelines and consensus?  Also, is it the most effective manner of renaming the article, or should a different name be used? 09:52, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: RfC: Is the apparently unilateral renaming of the article both properly and most effectively done?

message: "In the 1980's, a vagrant claimed to have been recently in Mexico having been drinking buddies with a man who claimed to be the son of Errol Flynn. This was never verified, nor substantied."
...Seriously!?

Surely Sean Flynn should lead to a disambiguation page rather than to this artile given all are fairly notable. As well as that 2 of them are of the same family and the younger relative is far more known nowadays  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.236.26.152 (talk) 01:46, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

message: If "believed killed by Khmer Rouge in June 1971" is correct (see lead), how can or why would 6 April 1970 (date of disappearance) be the official date of death (see infobox)? 58.8.6.198 (talk) 12:56, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: My guess would be that this date was chosen when he was legally declared dead in 1984. They would have to pick some date, and in the absence of any other information, this would be as good a guess as any. Wschart (talk) 20:08, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The quote "belived killed...in June, 1971" is just speculation on the part of researchers reviewing documents re: MIAs & POWs of the Vietnam conflict and it is merely their supposition and not proven fact. Sean Leslie Flynn's death certificate as filed in the Florida courts by his mother where she was a legal resident (she resided in Palm Beach, Florida) is a matter of record and as stated above the date chosen was the date of his disappearance, making that his official date of death! He is still listed as a civilian MIA on government records!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ANASTROFAN (talk • contribs) 20:22, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As date of death is unknown and the "official" date of death is nominal, I've tried to make that clearer. I've trimmed the lead and the infobox to meaningful known facts, and moved all the speculation down into the "Disappearance" section, likewise the "official" date of death and added an explanation for that. 58.11.87.113 (talk) 21:13, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I've just read the biography of Neil Davis, a famous war journalist who recounts that there were widespread reports shortly after Flynn's disappearance that he had died some weeks after disappearing and that he had been crucified. This type of death had also been meted out on other captured journos so Davis found it quite believable. Is something worth putting in? I can reference the book ('One Crowded Hour' by Tim Bowden) and the page number of the quote.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.208.209.141 (talk) 23:52, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Crucifixion question 

message: I see no discussion here about the recent retitling of this page from Sean Flynn (born 1941) to Sean Flynn (film actor).  While I agree that the "born 1941" disambiguation is sorely lacking in precision and encyclopedic style, the "film actor" disambiguation is in some ways worse, because there is another Sean Flynn, listed as Sean Flynn (actor).  Are we to presume that the latter has never and will never act in a film?  Are we to presume that most people know of Errol Flynn's son as "Sean Film (film actor)" rather than "Sean Flynn (journalist)"?  I propose "Sean Flynn (actor-journalist)."  But it's something I would expect to be discussed before I made such a change on my own.  Was there ANY discussion of the recent change? I see no evidence on this page.

replies: text: While I agree that photojournalist is an appropriate parenthetical for that Sean Flynn, it was as an actor that he first became known, and I suspect that many, like myself, came to learn of his second career only because we were familiar with his first and more famous one.  At any rate, he is now pretty well known for both, and I think Sean Flynn (actor/photojournalist) as a title is more helpful to WP readers than asking them to read the articles and figure it out on their own.Monkeyzpop (talk) 06:32, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
