Notability as film editor in question

So the discussion about deleting this article settled on "keep", which is fine with me. But I cannot see that Gladys Pearl Baker deserves the introduction "was an American film editor" and the accompanying categories. I know of no relevant film she edited, and not a single one is mentioned on [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2913418/ her IMDb page]. The text says she worked as a "film negative cutter" – which is not the same as a film editor. Negative cutters had zero creative input into the film; they simply followed the instructions given to them by directors, producers and editors. So that would not give her any notability. Until a significant film that she edited herself is pointed out with citation, I suggest removing the misleading introduction and the categories. --Sprachraum (talk) 06:22, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

:Thanks to TrueHeartSusie3 for [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gladys_Pearl_Baker&diff=1004049171&oldid=1003270451 following through] on this so quickly. --Sprachraum (talk) 21:51, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

This book says she was born in 1900. I'm new to editing Wikipedia, so I don't know the procedure. Should I just change it?

:Thanks for asking first. This isn't a reliable source. Let me look into this a bit.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:06, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

::I found in the 1910 census that she was eight years old in 1910. I added that to the note about her year of birth [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gladys_Pearl_Baker&diff=1214591487&oldid=1214536641 here] that the census shows she was born in 1902.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Melson

I reverted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gladys_Pearl_Baker&diff=prev&oldid=1168765189 this edit] and clarified in the article that:

Melson cared for Grace until Marilyn's death
Was the administratrix of Marilyn's estate after her death

from [https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/10/marilyn200810 Vanity Fair article]. If you have differing information, what is your reliable source?–CaroleHenson (talk) 01:04, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
