Probation list of Famous persons with Bell's palsy

BLP Issues

This article has major recurrent BLP problems. Any "so-and-so has Bell's palsy" claims must have a citation. --Selket Talk 15:34, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I just added fact tags to any uncited entries, and after a couple weeks or whatever, any still-unreferenced entries should be removed. -Agyle 17:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is a recurring problem, and I suggest that dubious entries are moved here for a probation period. Vandalism-like entries (e.g. people adding their own names) should not enter this list, they should just be deleted. Power.corrupts (talk) 08:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Katie Holmes

Can anyone find concrete evidence that she actually has Bell's Palsy? All I can find is hearsay (e.g. http://allbellspalsy.info/katie-holmes-famous-people-series-bells-palsy/) --98.221.251.234 (talk) 07:49, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The current citation is bad, it's an article that also claims she was born in 1997. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.197.20.132 (talk) 11:34, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am removing her entry after finding nothing remotely reliable. There are several biographies of her online and searching does not throw up any hits. There is so much chatter on the web it would be useful to confirm or deny it but it looks as if she has not done so. Thincat (talk) 15:17, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Drew Barrymore

Isn't Drew Barrymore afflicted with Ball's Palsy? Sugreev2001 13:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

please provide a reference. Power.corrupts (talk) 08:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fiction - Popeye the Sailor Man

Would it be fair to mention Popeye the Sailor Man as possibly being afflicted with BP? knoodelhed 09:15, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes, NBC)

I came here to see if Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes, NBC) had Bell's Palsy events. I noticed Sly Stallone is on the list when his own entry says "His trademark sneer and slurred speech are the result of paralysis in the left side of his face caused by birth complications." and is cited from http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_story/273:820/1/Sylvester_Stallone.htm. Is there any fact checking on this list, or can anyone add anyone for any reason? I'd like to add Tina Fey. And the Mona Lisa.

Gordon Lightfoot

The wiki for Gordon Lightfoot states that he has been affected by Bell's Palsy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.190.182.209 (talk) 12:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True, added Gordon Lightfoot to the main list (presuming he is famous). Power.corrupts (talk) 08:55, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Milo Ventimiglia and Roseanne Barr - references needed

Anon IPs have added these two notabilities to the Famous persons with Bell's palsy section. For both, no other reference than their wiki page is provided but unfortunately these pages are silent on any palsy.

Superficial Google searching lends only weak credibility to the claim that the two notabilities should have had Bell's palsy. Some blogs [[1]] claim that Milo Ventimiglia has an "asymmetrical mouth" resulting from Bell's palsy - a known Bell's complication. However, also stating that he may have been born with a "dead nerve ending" - then it's NOT Bell's Palsy. A Roseanne web-biography[[2]] only states that she had the condition "at age 3". Another source [[3]] states that the disease lead her into "Mormon lifestyle" - few children have the capacity to make such decisions at age 3.

Here's more of the story [4] might not be reputable enough, though. 71.236.26.74 (talk) 10:01, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Both entries are fact-marked and will be removed after some time if no reliable references are provided, or if their wiki pages are not updated with that information Power.corrupts (talk) 22:07, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Took Roseanne Barr off the list - no reference provided

Preliminary reply positive, put him back on listPower.corrupts (talk) 18:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Broken link

Sussman, Paul. (2006-03-28.) "Health: Losing face." The London Independent, via findarticles.com. Retrieved on 2007-09-19. Doesn't work. The article has been removed [5] might serve as a new souce - 71.236.26.74 (talk) 09:49, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the four people that were covered by this source. If the link is dead, the claim that they had Bell's Palsy is unsourced. If it is unsourced, it should be removed per WP:BLP. 94.212.31.237 (talk) 16:07, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Toby Young

I'm assuming this list includes people who recover from it? In How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, Toby Young notes that he had Bell's palsy, which he initially thought was a "coke stroke." I guess the citation would be from the book itself. Shall I add it? Cocytus [»talk«] 04:36, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

John Sudworth

Might be worth adding BBC new reporter, carried on working though recovery http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24802323 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.6.54.72 (talk) 14:31, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
