Cleanup

I am working on a clean up of this article. Ideally, very little of it will be sourced from the subject's personal website or by agencies for which she has worked, and more from independent, secondary sources. Add them as you find them! --DiamondRemley39 (talk) 23:57, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Overly Promotional

This article is especially overly promotional about Robbins' business and branding, rather than being encyclopaedic in tone. I feel it needs an extensive clean-up. MrEarlGray (talk) 13:42, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I have noticed some probable WP:COI editing in the past, or perhaps just fans, but in any event, a cleanup is overdue. Marquardtika (talk) 13:51, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. One particularly promotional point of note is the subject being "...best known for a TEDx talk". Anyone can purchase a TEDx talk licence if they have $5000 spare and it doesn't seem right for the subject to be considered 'famous' if they simply bought a promotional platform. MrEarlGray (talk) 07:34, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Although I agree that this article is overly promotional, I'm not sure I agree with this specific point. For example, PewDiePie is "best known for his gaming videos"; can't anyone make a gaming video and post it on YouTube for basically free? Also anyone can purchase a TEDx licence but most would agree that her talk is quite famous (with like 30+ million YT views). Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 00:23, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
