Talk:Marie Corelli

message: I've deleted the following random references. I tried to incorporate them into the new "legacy" section, but I found them trite.  Still, I'm open to a discussion of their inclusion.

message: The article says that she was born in London, but no reference is cited for this. According to Who's Who in Lesbian and Gay Writing she was "Born Mary (or Minnie) Mackay in Perth, Scotland". --rossb (talk) 14:36, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Someone wrote a parody of a typical Corelli sentence: "I feel there is a something somewhere, if only we could put our finger on it." If anyone can reference this, it might provide a clue to her writing style. Valetude (talk) 21:18, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

message: I added a proposed merger tag because I am not finding enough material about Bertha Vyver to establish WP:GNG / WP:Notability (people). The only key accomplishment that I can find is that she wrong a memoir about Corelli. And, a lot of the content in that article is already in this article, so it won't take too much to merge the two articles.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:24, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment I'm not !voting one way or another for a merge, but I believe there is sufficient information on Vyver for her own story to be told. While her life was clearly intertwined with Corelli's her story is unique from the author's in certain aspects, which are clearly not duplicated in the author's biography.

replies: text: You've done a lot to expand it and it's definitely meatier than when I nominated it. How about if we leave this a couple more days and see what comes in. So far, it's pretty quiet.–CaroleHenson (talk) 00:33, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I've thought more about this... other than you, it's quiet here, you did great work, I will remove the tags. If there is a strong objection, we can deal with it later.–CaroleHenson (talk) 00:39, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Re ‘Citation needed’ request by Colin M (17/10/21) about the claim in the new lede which I had recently supplied, that she was ‘the bestselling fiction-writer in England’.
 
I sourced this from the 'Career' section of the article, where it said ‘In her time, she was the most widely read author of fiction’. This was uncited, so I agree we need a cite, giving precise terms and dates. Also it is possible that ‘bestselling’ and ‘most widely read’ could mean two different things, bearing in mind her popularity in public libraries. Valetude (talk) 12:00, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
