Talk:David Gandy

I don't think there is precedent for moving a model's photo shoots to a stand-alone list. Too many articles for one person can be unduly promotional. Per WP:LISTN, are David Gandy's collective photoshoots commonly discussed as a group or set by reliable sources, or is this just trivia that could easily be accommodated in David Gandy? --Animalparty!

: {{reply|Animalparty}} Actually, I got the idea from editing the article for Cara Delevingne which includes a separate page for her modelling appearances: List of Cara Delevingne's modelling appearances. In my opinion, a model's photoshoots and campaigns is their body of work - not unlike listing an actor's movie appearances. A separate list seemed a good solution.

: The existing table of David Gandy's magazine photoshoots is from 2009 through summer 2012. With Gandy having shot at least a dozen editorials per year from 2012 to 2015, the list will ultimately be twice as long as it is now. With 50+ magazines to be listed, I felt they would dominate the article. (Not to mention that that doesn't include pending/future photoshoots and magazine covers.)

: My goal was to streamline the main article and make it LESS promotional while making the information available for those who are interested. However, if it violates a policy or is deemed unnecessary, I have no problem moving it. SchoolMarm101 (talk) 01:12, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

:: {{reply|Animalparty}} Upon further consideration, I have decided to merge the list back into the article where it started. My intention was to improve Wikipedia - but not if it draws me into a "discussion." Life is too short. Happy editing. SchoolMarm101 (talk) 02:09, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

It's 2017 now and this article still reads liek a press release

And it's now 2019, and this is still a press release, not an article! Terrible misuse of Wikipedia. I'm going to delete this bit of advertising copy:
