The article is a blatant advertisement and should be deleted immediately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.126.243.223 (talk) 04:51, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article is based primarily on self-serving and self-published sources of a relatively unknown person. It should be rewritten or removed. Uffe (talk) 17:06, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that she has written four bestsellers may be notable but the rest of the page reads (to me) like an advertisement. This article needs, at the very least, a major overhaul but I lack the skill to undertake such a task. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.228.246 (talk) 10:56, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I do see that there has been a history of COI editors - lots of PR speak and linking to her website. Adding a note here in case this issue persists. 22:57, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
I've now made some efforts in the direction of NPOV, removing some tedious repetitiveness, while adding some Wikilinks and the missing ISBN numbers to the list of her published works Objectivesea (talk) 00:11, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected Category:People from (county).

[edit]

According to the article itself, she was born in Bexar County; she lives and works in Harris County. I chose the latter, as my understanding of the category is "people associated with", rather than "people born in" the given county. Houston County was certainly incorrect (it's a common mistake to assume that the City of Houston is in Houston County, Texas).

I have no opinion regarding the significance or quality of the article--just correcting a minor mistake.

What's poppin' players? Sorry I'm not good at Wikipedia ettiquette and chet, but I just wanted to let y'all know that the link for Brene Brown's blog "https://brenebrown.com/my-blog/" is incorrect; the correct link is "https://brenebrown.com/blog/". Just thought I'd help you kind folk out. :)

COI Problems

[edit]

This page has a lot of COI problems. A majority of the sources link directly to her websites about page or a PDF #11 "Brené Brown's Biography" (PDF). or no longer have the reference available for example number 15 "Dr. Brené Brown on Daring Greatly". OWN. 2013-11-03. This page should be reviewed for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justin30995 (talkcontribs) 00:33, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removed section

[edit]

The Controversy section did not seem well supported.
There were three items: one about how she uses profanity in her books, but it only cited a source about therapists using profanity that made no mention of Brown or her work (WP:SYNTH). One item was that she has been criticized for not understanding the experience of African Americans, and the final one was criticism of her both-sides-ism on the war in Gaza. These final two do not appear to have any significant traction (WP:DUE), and I could not find any additional quality sources that made the same critiques. With the Gaza situation, it may be so recent that there isn't much out there, but with the one relating to the black experience, I only found a few tiktoks and blog posts, and they invariably go back to the single article cited already about the dangers of "Courage Culture" by Carey Yazeed. I came to the section thinking that with three items of one line each (and typos), it should be either expanded if possible or deleted, but I think deletion is the best option for now.--MattMauler (talk) 13:07, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
