Talk:Linda Frum

message: Is there a claim to notability in this article? or is it just a random article about a journalist? --Werdna648 04:14, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You seriously don't think that an author of two bestselling books, one of which is a biography of the most influential journalist in the history of Canadian television, is notable? That's a bit...odd. Bearcat 05:19, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: At the time, it didn't have in there that they were canadian bestsellers. It looked like a writer just trying to get publicity -Werdna648 06:55, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Notability??

message: I tweaked this since "former Canadian.." seemed awkward. Should she be considered a politician as well as author and journalist? No idea. --Tom (talk) 15:03, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Why no mention of her brother, Matthew?  Reference is made to her brother David, but not to Matthew.  Yes, I know he is adopted, that has no bearing on whether to mention Matthew or not.

http://www.mail-archive.com/nativenews@mlists.net/msg03588.htmlShe also did not mention Matthew in her Senate acceptance speech; it would be interesting to determine why not, and note the reason in this article.  Responses along the line of: "that's personal" are responded to with: "then why did she mention David in her speech?"Ref:  http://www.parl.gc.ca/40/2/parlbus/chambus/senate/deb-e/075db_2009-12-01-E.htm?Language=E&Parl=40&Ses=2#31

replies: text: David is actually a notable public figure in his own right, who would have an article of his own even if Linda didn't. Matthew isn't, so the only thing we could even really say about him at all without overstepping the bounds of WP:BLP is that he exists. Wikipedia doesn't exist to be a repository of famous people's family trivia; there's no value in rattling off the names of relatives who aren't notable people in their own rights.

replies: text:  The adopted son Matthew is an "aboriginal" and has had several brushes with the law. He may have done prison time. Status is everything to people like the Frums, so they're probably just embarrassed to mention him.38.115.185.3 (talk) 21:31, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Matthew Frum 

message: The link to "Senator Frum's web page" at the bottom of the article gets a grapic 404 "page missing" (with a rather annoying "Do you ever feel like you're in the wrong place?" theme.
 
Sorry,  I don't know how to fix this, or I would have.
