Talk:List of Victoria's Secret models

message: It would be very helpful to put the time period during which each model was active with Victoria's Secret or the name & date of the fashion show(s) that they were in next to their names.

message: Although the topic has been addressed above this one, I'll state this here just in case.  Wiki's policy toward stand-alone lists specifies that for an item to be included, it must have its own article, or at least be verifiable that the subject meets inclusion criteria and could soon have its own article.  After exhausting myself by copying and pasting names into search engines to check the Fashion Model Directory, it seems clear that most - if not all - the models that don't have articles that were on the list, aren't even VS models.  So if you want to re-add a model, please cite a source to prove it.  I recommend the Fashion Model Directory.   Mbinebri  talk ← 18:51, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Removing models

message: I feel slightly bad about it, but I had to revert all the dates inserted into the list.  First, it's detail that should be in the article itself, not the list.  Secondly, much of it (particularly when a model first appeared in the catalog) is basically unverifiable - big problem.  Third, it creates what you might call "misleading info."  For example, Bar Refaeli was in the catalogs extremely briefly from what I know, yet it appears to be claimed that she has appeared in it ever since 2004, and I can point out a great number of listed models where the dates create the same misinformation.  Lastly, it's an issue that some models would have these dates listed, yet a lot of others don't.   Mbinebri  talk ← 19:11, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dates in the list 

message: Anyone know who this model is? Is she in the list?  I just saw her for the first time in the lates catelog.

text: Sorry, don't know that one.  But next time, you should just ask me on my talk page.  I'm the only one who's probably going to answer and these article talk pages are for discussions on improving the article, not model identification.   Mbinebri  talk ← 14:54, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: This model?

message: Shouldn't lists that are ordered by people's proper names be arranged in alphabetical order of surname rather than first name? Oscroft (talk) 13:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've seen other lists with the flag icon coming first, but I'm not sure of any policy regarding this.  As for the alphabetizing, yeah, it probably should be by surname, but that looks like one tedious task to rearrange it all.  If you're up to the challenge, I applaud you!   Mbinebri  talk ← 15:40, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Incorrect or inconsistent alphabetical order is something that bugs me, so I may well make the effort - might not be too hard to take it out to a word processor, fix it up, then pull it back in again. The flags thing does seem to be debatable if there's no firm policy - leaving them at the front makes it all line up nicely, but I kinda think that stating their actual nationalities as well would be an improvement (most people won't know that many flags), and that way they would really need to be after their names. Anyway, I'll start on the alphabetical order, and I'll leave the flags thing for any further comments. Oscroft (talk) 16:31, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

text: Now sorted in surname order (applause gratefully accepted :-). I was unsure about a few surnames with de, van der, von, so I'll have to check for wiki policy or precedent, and will come back and change them if necessary. Oscroft (talk) 18:15, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice job!  You certainly made quick work of it!  I would vote against actually stating nationality in the list though: it's not like pageantry, where the women are representing their countries, per se.  Modeling for VS has little to do with nationality, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was brought up for discussion that the consensus would be that even the flag icons themselves should be removed per WP:MOSFLAG or WP:ICONDECORATION.   Mbinebri  talk ← 22:24, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks! And good point about nationalities, I agree. I actually just noticed that the nationality pops up if you hover over the flag anyway, so happy to leave it as it is. Oscroft (talk) 03:15, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Alphabetical Order?

message: I think that Kylie Bax only played the role of a Victoria's Secret model in the film Boys and Girls and didn't actually model for the brand. I think that Jessica Clarke is rightly credited as the brand's first New Zealand model see news report here. Anyone agree?.- Kiwipat (talk) 09:27, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Kylie Bax 

message: On the page's section "Models who posed for Victoria's Secret but didn't walk the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show", I think the only relevant models are the ones who posed for the brand wearing their products. I don't think that models who posed for them without advertising their products (there is just one, Tiago Santos) should be featured in this list. --MirandaKeurr (talk) 16:37, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
