Lack of citations

What's the source for her being a model? Songi360 (talk) 01:36, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

I'm trying to add a reference to her only being in deleted scenes for the movie The House but it did something weird and I'm not sure if it's correct. The reference came from http://www.dvdmg.com/thehouse.shtml

Infobox image, after-the-fact discussion

New image, 2017
Old image, 2015

New image is (1) two years newer, and (2) no mic obstruction, so I'd say it has advantage over the 2015 image. The lighting isn't great. But it's a fairly flattering shot. Elizium23 (talk) 23:35, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I ve made new photo of her yesterday, it s here:

True Detective expansion

It is a documented topic that her on-screen nudity in True Detective brought her attention and led to mainstream work opportunities. Over the last week, there has been a dispute whether to document this information. While I think it is integral for authenticity, others have called it salicious. Parminder Sarwara (talk) 03:52, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

; her fully nude scene with Woody Harrelson attracted much attention and proved a turning point in her career, leading to more mainstream roles. The scene continues to be widely shared on social media.^[1]^[2]^[3]

In case someone wants to look closer, but as I wrote the first time I removed it, it appears to violate BLP, NOT, POV. Just an attempt to insert salacious trivia. (more to follow). --Hipal (talk) 03:58, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First ref: The MTV News ref is an interview made at the time. I'm not sure why it's even there. Regardless, it doesn't demonstrate any encyclopedic weight or value. Even verification seems questionable.

Second ref: Looper appears to be a poor source in general, but the RSN discussion on it has been light so far. Though it has a click-bait title, the article doesn't appear half bad in it's depth or detail. If this specific article is found reliable, it might indicate some content is DUE. Without better and wider coverage, it's best treated as the pov of the author and publisher, and not something to present in Wikipedia's voice. -

Third ref: Appears unreliable. 16 uses in English Wikipedia, rejected in the two discussions about it. Looks like some sort of group blog. The article is clickbait. --Hipal (talk) 04:41, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Prior to the expansion the content was: [1]

her nude scene with Woody Harrelson attracted much attention.^[1]

Without better references, I'm unclear that any of this is encyclopedic and DUE. --Hipal (talk) 05:00, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Any objection to removing the expansion per the comments above given the requirements of BLP? --Hipal (talk) 20:27, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Moved here in case we want to take it to RSN:

her nude scene with Woody Harrelson has been claimed a turning point in her career that lead to more mainstream roles.^[1]^{[unreliable source?]}
