Talk:Suzanne Somers

message: In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 22:15, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

My real question: Why no mention on Suzanne's part in the Canadian show Mantrap?JBDay (talk) 22:47, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The statement "so=called Wiley Protocol" is negative and reveals bias. The Wiley Protocol is a registered trademark. Please remove the "so=called." I cannot, I am COI.

An IP has added the following to her article:
* "Suzanne Somers is opposed to water fluoridation. <ref> The Malibu Times http://www.malibutimes.com/articles/2007/12/19/editorial/opinion/opinion1.txt 
This information isn't surprising considering her attitude toward pseudoscience and fringe subjects. The question for this board is whether we can allow use of this source, which is a posting by her on a public internet forum under "editorial / opinion". It's probably her, but anyone could have written that. Shouldn't we find a better source documenting her attitude on the subject? I suspect we can. -- Brangifer (talk) 22:44, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Her blog contains similar anti-fluoridation sentiments: http://www.suzannesomers.com/Blog/post/Water-Fluoridation-Get-the-Facts.aspx  If I understand correctly, her blog is a RS for her own article, but nowhere else. Could we use this source instead? -- Brangifer (talk) 22:47, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Her book has got to be a RS for her opinion. -- Brangifer (talk) 22:49, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I deleted the sentence "Thighmaster was one of the first products responsible for launching the infomercial concept.[citation needed]"  since it had no citation and I don't think it is factual.  I did a search on Infomercials and Thighmaster and infomercials have been around since the early 80's and she was doing these Thighmaster commercials after that.Mylittlezach (talk) 17:05, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I was wondering if there was a reason for no mention of her arrest in her younger days for check bouncing?

message: Really, this Suzanne Somers article is dreadfully written: "... gives extra discussion to one specific approach, the "Wiley Protocol". Somers and T. S. Wiley, the originator of the Wiley Protocol, have been criticized for their advocacy of the Wiley Protocol. It really could use a rewrite, preferably by someone who can write. I'd do it myself if I was interested enough in the subject. Surely someone out there is? --Untold Millions (talk) 17:49, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Badly Written 

message: Is there a reason this article omits any mention of Somers' birthdate? It's information that's usually included in biographical articles. 
I found other references that give her birthdate as October 16, 1946. Is there a dispute over this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:96D0:DF40:2899:6D25:DF6F:DEA1 (talk) 04:44, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure why this was removed—I have restored her birthdate and added several reputable sources to corroborate it. --Drown Soda (talk) 14:53, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: , Thank you for adding citations when you restored the date of birth. I was the one who removed the then-unsourced date based on WP:DOB. Without a citation, there is no indication to a reader that the date of birth has been published by reliable sources. Eddie Blick (talk) 16:14, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Suzzane Somers died at age 77, not age 76. It is a subtle legal concept. You always attain your nexy year of age the day BEFORE your birthday, because that is the 365th day (or 366th day in a leap year) of that year of your life. Since she passed the day before her birthday, she lived a full 77 years. 2600:1700:9090:8CC0:542:764C:605B:CF4E (talk) 16:47, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Age 

message: As of Oct. 16, 2023 the article *claims* her cancer returned in July and she died in October. She'll be missed. But it is patently NOT TRUE that the cancer was absent in June and suddenly (re)appeared in July. I don't want to change the article now, but after a respectful period it should be corrected to say the return (or reappearance) of cancer was discovered or announced (which ever it was) in July. (very few cancers, probably none, are so aggressively growing that they kill the patient in 3 months (between the first cancerous cell and death, as contrasted with the *discovery* of various cancers and the patients succumbing - which is far more common (since some cancers are hard or nearly impossible to detect until they've reached late stage growth. This is especially true with patients over 65. Cancer is more aggressive and grows faster, usually, in younger patients, but I digress.)98.17.44.45 (talk) 08:01, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Until proven otherwise, the article should stay as it is: she died in October; her cancer returned in July. No sources as of yet connect the two. Everyone's cancer treatments are different – some people die from treatment and yet their deaths are attributed to the disease. Who knows what actually caused her death? Wikipedia only reports what is made known, not speculations. Wyliepedia @ 12:59, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

message: If anyone is interested in recovering any of these removed items by finding a source and adding the item plus a citation back into the article, here's the list:
===Television===
*Mantrap (1971–1973)
*Match Game (1977/PM) (1977)
*Tattletales (1977)
*Goodbye Charlie (1985)
*The Simpsons  – The Day the Violence Died (1996)

*The Nutty Professor (1996) as Thighmaster Lady on TV (uncredited)
 also removed some verbiage about 1990 television stuff, but it didn't seem particularly necessary and it's pretty out of place, but I think it's possible that some of it could be reworked into a better introduction of the Step by Step material.
