Talk:Amy Carter

message: Amy is divorced from her first husband, and she has since remarried.  John Paul Parks (talk) 00:27, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The link leads to an August 11, 2010 article about Roslyn Carter wherein she states that Amy has an 11 year old son, is pregnant, lives in Atlanta, and is a substitute art teacher. There's no discussion about the state of her marriage. Is SFGate, sister-site of the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper, not considered a reliable source?

thread_title: Marriage and Family Info Needs to Be Updated

message: I added that she illustrated a children's book with her father, and I believe this ties in with her major (I believe she majored in art history, but don't hold me to that). Someone does need to mention how Amy factored into Jimmy's policy-making (however minor it is, it's notable since she was young). Mike H (Talking is hot) 22:23, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
:Oh, gosh, she is notable; i forgot all the fuss that was made over that book -- no, wait a minit, i guess i'm thinking of Harry Potter. </snark> 
: Which is to say that (with whatever admirable or embarrassing motivation) she's competant to hold onto his coattails.  She may even be supporting  hubby in the style he's accustomed to with her illustrations for brochures and her unique velvet-painting style, but i'd still see nothing notable.  Who reviewed the kids' book? How long was it in stores nationwide?
: We already mention that they spoke abt policy, but it would be more notable if they never had.  If you can come up with how, that might be notable if it's verifiable: it would be cited as an insight into how he lost his way at the helm of a superpower!  Which is to say, don't hold your breath until you find out.
: I think it's great that the content is improving, but i see no trend yet of it developing toward viability as an article.--Jerzy·t 23:59, 2005 August 11 (UTC)
:: I'm glad to know you're the only one who decides what's article-worthy and what isn't. Piss off. Mike H (Talking is hot) 00:46, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
::This is ridiculous.  The article already exists, so it's not as if we're debating on whether to create it or not.  Amy Carter is a widely known daughter of a president.  She's just as "notable" as Chelsea Clinton is/was.  At least for the next 30 or 40 years I think she's notable.  Beyond that she may fade into the anals of forgotten presidential daughters.  Is there some precious resource this article is taking up that needs to be "recycled", so we need to take a hard line on "notability"?  Paper encyclopedias, and even DVD encyclopedias need to be edited for size constraints.  With the cheapness of hard drive space I fail to see why this article should be removed or merged into the Jimmy Carter page.  If it were it would only be more distracting from the Jimmy Carter page. Hell, this discussion (or really what just amounts to the whining of one person who sounds like they have some grudge) takes up FAR more resources than the single Amy Carter page.  Oh, and looking through all the guidelines, nowhere do I see "notability" as a requirement for an article in Wikipedia, so this entire discussion is rather moot.  Maybe you're referring to vanity pages, which obviously don't belong in an encyclopedia.  This is obviously not a vanity article, so I see no issue here.  So, as you see the impetus is not for anyone to justify the Amy Carter page, but for anyone thinking it should be merged to justify it.  This hasn't been done.  If you can do that, please do, otherwise remove the "merge" link.  Vellmont
:: Just on general principles, I agree with this. Sometimes it seems that there's a "merge mania" here on WP. While I can understand merging two articles that basically discuss the same thing, it seems too often to be used as a way of eliminating articles that some people feel "aren't important" enough. Really -- the reason that I come to Wikipedia, and the reason I find it so interesting, isn't because it's a replacement for Encyclopedia Britannica; if it was, I'd just read E.B. and be done with it. No, I read it because it has vast articles on all sorts of niche (some might say, bizarre) topics. This is a GOOD THING. Amy Carter isn't Jimmy Carter; she's been famous enough to have a few articles written about her in the mainstream press...she gets her own WP page. Any time two pages that aren't closely related to the point of duplication are merged together, content is very often lost -- or at least the possibility of adding more content is lost. I think we should take a very light approach to merging, and when there is any doubt that something deserves a separate article, give it one. There's no limit to the number that WP can have, so why throw out information? --Kadin2048 06:19, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It would be a shame to let this discussion close without mention of what justifies doing so -- since not a word on this talk page does. (The level of Wiki-insight in the arguement of  is quite understandable, but their personal attacks on me will preclude my helping orient them. BTW & in contrast, Mike, a few months more experienced here, has shown himself more reasonable to me elsewhere than how, on this page, he lets himself continue to appear.) Despite the continuing lack of reasons for separate retention,  has a credibility that makes his removal of the tag quite sufficient to satisfy me that the matter needs no further attention from me.

thread_title: Notability

message: Still "Amy Carter"? "Amy Carter Hentzel"? "Amy Carter-Hentzel"?--Jerzy·t 16:06, 2005 July 28 (UTC)
Still AC as of 2002; not sure we need to put it in the article, but having it here documents we weren't just guessing. Jerzy·t 23:59, 2005 August 11 (UTC)
Corrected her surname at the top of the page and put in a short sentence about it.  Looked back at the archives (Sept. 29, 2005), whoever changed it didn't provide an explanation, let alone a link. However, the Christian Science Monitor article that's already linked at the bottom clearly says that she still has her own name. Ariadne55 17:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

:The answer is almost certainly unverifiable; in any case, the subject is unencyclopedic, and thus off-topic here. --Jerzy•t 04:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It can be verified if Rosalynn ever was interviewed and asked about it. In any case, my oldest sibling is 17 years older than me, and my parents told me they tried for an entire month to have me. So just because it's the last child, doesn't mean it's a mistake. Mike H.

thread_title:  Her age? 

message: The article states "Amy has three brothers who are roughly 15 to 20 years older than she is."  Roughly?  I presume they all have birth certificates showing the years of birth.  In that case, there is nothing "roughly" about determining their ages.  John Paul Parks (talk) 05:44, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Roughly?

message: The opening sentence makes no sense. It seems to be out of context.
"Amy Lynn Carter (born October 19, 1967) is the youngest of the four children and the only daughter of U.S. president Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn Carter."
It's not clear what this is supposed to mean. Need to mention the other children in context with this. Poorly worded, as well.

replies: text: What is unclear about it?  To me, it says: the parents had four kids.  The first three are sons, the fourth is a daughter. No?  Am I missing something?  Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:04, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Of which four children? 

message: Someone added to Personal Life that Amy Carter attended Holton Arms.   This is not consistent with the info on her schooling in "Life in White House" and  I'm 90% sure it is incorrect. She famously attended DC public schools while her father was in office, and the family returned to Georgia when he left office.  Of all the private schools in the DC area, Holton seems like the least likly for her or her family to have any association with.  The only references I found appear to be based on this article and more authoritative sources (NY Times, Wash Post) only reference her attending DC public schools.  Can someone with a better knowledge of confirm this and correct the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.40.161 (talk) 20:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is the reference to "Socks, owned by Bill Clinton" correct? 

message: I've removed the following information, per WP:BLP, because it lacks a source (and my web searches have failed to find a source). Please feel free to put it back into the article if the text is accompanied by a footnote that cites a reliable source:
:Carter and Wentzel later divorced; Carter remarried and had a second son.
I've also modified the infobox to show only one child, and to remove mention of a divorce from her first husband. Again, anyone is welcome to put that information back into the article if they can provide a reliable source for it. Otherwise, this information, in the article, is a violation of WP:BLP. -- John Broughton   (♫♫) 17:05, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
