Notability[edit]

Maslin is a notable film critic and writer. Hardly an unknown. Not every film critic has to be Roger Ebert to be listed on Wikipedia. JackO'Lantern 04:11, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

She was with the Times for decades (actually she quit in 1999). Definitely not a speedy deletion candidate. Rhobite 04:42, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced statements/Clean up[edit]

Not permitted in Wikipedia. Done some clean up and deleted unsourced material. NNDB cannot be used as a source in the article. See WP:BLP#Sources and WP:V#Sources, along with WP:EL. I added section for "Notes" in anticipation of better documentation with more reliable and verifiable sources; fixed the previous EL and Refs sections; moved some previously in EL sec. to Refs. sec.; gave fuller citations; etc. All I have time for (more than I had time for, actually. Came across this article via link in another article that I was editing. --NYScholar (talk) 09:15, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added Source[edit]

Added in a new source for the statement about Maslin's review of the Joyce Carol Oates book. I left the current source in, but it's a Joyce Carol Oates fanpage so it's hardly unbiased, and I'm not sure it's an appropriate source at all. Clockster (talk) 13:22, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
