Talk:Billy Chapin

Concerning: being "beyond a stub, but incomplete".

Unfortunately there's in fact scarcely nothing significantly on Billy Chapin published or availlable to date - by whatever reason. He apparently simply dropped out into a normal life after his acting career had ended in 1959/60 - and the passages on him in his sister's biography are 1. too private and sensitive to use them in any public way without strict permission, and 2. - blocked by her own copyright, anyway. Although he obviously had similar poblems with alcohol and drugs like his sister, it might have been not that heavy than hers. Today he seems to be not very keen on any new publicity, tailored on his former celebrity status, although, within the past decade, he had joined a few conventions and celeb-events on special occasions. He was married early (mentioned in Lauren's biography) and he has (at least) one son. Some months ago on his sister's homepage there was temporarily an up-to-date photo of him (along with her) displayed, but which in the meantime is removed again. So it will be very difficult to develop this article more significantly than it is today.--Oliver Renye 21:02, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

When I added the metadata I used status 2 based on the length alone ( i know nothing about this topic). If you feel it is close to finished you should upgrade the status from 2 to 1. After 1 the next step is approval. Chris Day 22:04, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
