February 2009

wasn't Eddie Murphy 19 years old as a cast member on SNL? If so, Elliott would be at least the third youngest cast member overall.74.179.17.62 (talk) 05:33, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

October 2009

I'd say that if there is only one person/journalist calling her "deadweight", it's not really worthy to be in Elliott's entry since not really objective. Off-the-air (talk) 00:43, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

September 2011

Why do people keep editing this article to remove the section on her celebrity impressions on SNL? I have added the section back, but it may be incomplete. Pongydog (talk) 05:25, 06 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because the list, as stated so far, has never been sourced. No independent, verifiable, reliable source has listed her impressions with any significant discussion of them, or review of them. Consider that this is a biography of a living person, so the standards for inclusion of material are quite stringent. All unsourced material must be removed. So don't be surprised if it disappears again. Just find RS, and cite them, if there are any. --Lexein (talk) 05:52, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I concur. Also, are they notable for an encyclopaedia article or a incomplete trivial list of cruft? Span (talk) 12:39, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well notability applies to whole articles, not specific content per se, so IMHO the impressions have a place in a well-sourced paragraph (not a list), but only if they are widely, multiply, reliably reported. Otherwise, no way. --Lexein (talk) 10:38, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I guess that answers Pongydog's question. Span (talk) 12:39, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any independent WP:RS. This could potentially include newspaper-related blogs, or blogs by established authors, or academic sources.
