Sourcing

[edit]

Should we be using low-quality sources such as BuzzFeed, RadarOnline, The Blast, TMZ, and Us Weekly for a topic that's this contentious? KyleJoantalk 04:00, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No. We should be using high-quality sources, as that is the standard on Wikipedia. Shoestringnomad (talk) 20:09, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, the sources should come from credible and reliable authority. The news sources cited (e.g., BuzzFeed, Us Weekly, etc.) may not be credible, though they are current.Idelmund (talk) 23:17, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

Formal request has been received to merge Free Britney movement into Britney Spears conservatorship dispute; dated: December 3, 2021. Proposer's rationale: The former article can be merged into the latter's ##FreeBritney section. Pinging proposer @Theknine2: note that the two articles are 180k and 38k in size, so WP:LENGTH and WP:SIZERULE may be factors to consider here. Discuss here.

Merge. Obviously related topics and it never made sense to me that they were separated in the first place. Regarding length, I think both articles could benefit from some serious trimming in any case. Popcornfud (talk) 19:42, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, as per my submitted request. The prose size of the resulting article is certainly a cause for concern, but a lot of the content in "Free Britney movement" is already contained in the "Britney Spears conservatorship dispute" article, and hence when merged correctly, the prose size of the latter article should be well within the guidelines stated in WP:SIZERULE.

Merge, per previous messages. The topics are extremely similar, and I too have wondered for a while why they were ever separate to begin with. benǝʇᴉɯ 21:58, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, given the extremely similar nature of both topics. The only thing I'm curious about is what will the final merged article's name be? Thanks. shanghai.talk to me 19:11, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think the existing article title, Britney Spears conservatorship dispute, covers all the topics sufficiently. The Free Britney movement was part of the dispute. Popcornfud (talk) 15:16, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Religious dynamic

[edit]

This article doesn't really go into the religious dynamic, but the conservatorship has been seen in terms of conservative religous assumptions that a father should control his daughter's life. There's an interesting take on it here. --Doric Loon (talk) 10:55, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really see at all how that has any relevance. 71.129.228.139 (talk) 21:30, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
