Barely cited[edit]

This article would, if based on the sources, be cut down to four or five sentences. Are there the BLP-worthy in-depth third-party RSes for this article to exist as a BLP? A WP:BEFORE shows vanishingly little; there's a lengthy interview in The Times, but it turns out to be, per the first paragraph, an advertisement for her joining the paper as a columnist, rather than independent third-party evidence of notability. Almost all Google News for "Bel Mooney" is her Daily Mail column. Having a Daily Mail column does not prima facie pass WP:CREATIVE. Looking through the history, it seems never to have been properly sourced - David Gerard (talk) 22:10, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing? Anyone? 'Cos without sourcing, most of the article would need to be removed - David Gerard (talk) 10:43, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cut a massive swathe of the uncited stuff. More should go, really - David Gerard (talk) 14:17, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's been four and a half months, so I've cut the rest of the uncited stuff. As this is a BLP, it should only be restored with independent third-party RSes to cite it to - David Gerard (talk) 12:50, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Middle aged women Bel Mooney[edit]

Hi Bell Wonderful article in Mail Sat 4/3/23. Reminded me of a quote my mother used. “What you are I once was. What I am you will become” quoted by by Hunter S Thompson. Keep up the good work.
