After reading the phrase "like a Danielle Steel novel" twice, I decided to find out who Danielle Steel was. Unfortunately this page was not very helpful - its content is almost a verbatam copy of the biography distributed by Danielle Steel herself. Would someone who knows better please add some critical analysis?
"Steel maintains a strong interest in the well-being of children, and has raised nine of her own. She has been married five times, and is currently single." "This was followed by a brief second marriage to a convicted rapist and she soon found herself pregnant out of wedlock with her second child by the heroin addicted William Toth." Sounds like she's very interested in the well being of her children. Also I heard that her books were complete crap. Romance stories for morons at Wal-Mart.

This article reads like one long puff piece put out by the subject's press agent. It definitely needs something to balance the endless praise. Lorzu ( talk) 07:51, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
This whole article needs specific references, particularly in the areas I identified. -- Jreferee 22:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
In response to a notice on the BLP Noticeboard, and in compliance with WP:BLP, I removed all unsourced negative claims, as well as what I considered to be too much detailed personal information, which was largely also unsourced. There are still some statements that should be sourced, but are not what could be considered libel or an invasion of privacy. If someone can source those statements, please do so. I may have been heavy handed in removing all of the ex husbands's names, if some of them are notable people, they might be able to be reincluded, but should be sourced. Please do not revert my changes until you have reviewed WP:BLP carefully. Crockspot 19:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
hey this is april and i was wondering when you were born and what your whole life was like in a way that my readers can understand —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.16.89.5 ( talk) 17:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC).
I went through and sourced the article, and then reorganized it into a more chronological order. I couldn't think of good subheading titles, so please change those if you can think of something better. Let's also try to refrain from putting in any more unsourced comments.

The page on Ms Steel suggests she was born in both New York City and San Francisco at the same time.
And why nothing about Steel's life as owner/resident of the Spreckels mansion? George415 ( talk) 01:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Far be it from me to criticize the Guinness Book of Records, but there is no consecutive string of 381 or 390 weeks during which Steel was on the NYT Best-Seller List. The proof is here: http://www.hawes.com/pastlist.htm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.17.115 ( talk) 17:17, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
"In 2006 Steel reached an agreement with Elizabeth Arden to launch a new perfume, called "Danielle by Danielle Steel." The new fragrance, made of mandarin, jasmine, orchid, rose, amber, and musk scents, is available only in select stores. The target audience for the fragrance is readers of Steel's novels, and she believes that the new scent reflects her characters, saying "fragrances represent so many aspects of like that my characters experiences - commitment, love, and emotion."[21]
Does this not sound like blatant advertising? —Preceding

Danielle Steel's novels are usually classified as either mainstream or romance (check libraries/bookstores). "Romantic drama" is not usually considered a literary genre. Please discuss here before changing again. Karanacs ( talk) 21:57, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
On the list of novels, it says that Season of Passion was published in 1980. Yet on the Season of Passion page, it says it was published in 1989. Which is it? -- Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû 04:55, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

I think this article can really use some work. Yes, some parts are poorly cited, but I think the entire article needs an overhaul.

Hello, I would like to request this article to consider mentioning the reality where the author's name is Danielle Steele, with an e at the end. There are plenty of hard copy sources for this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/154930084@N08/albums/72157689854269574 There are also some online sources, where the two renditions are used side by side: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/danielle-steele-interview-glamour-life-books-desk-diet-twitter-a8908391.html https://www.harpersbazaar.com/fashion/designers/a27321374/danielle-steele-christian-dior-dress/ I am one of the people who remembers her as Steele, although I don't own any of her books. I would like this view included in the article.

When this article says that her works have been translated into 43 languages, it could point out that according to the Index Translationum, she is the sixth most translated author, after Agatha Christie, Jules Verne, William Shakespeare, Enid Blyton and Barbara Cartland.

"Together they had five children, Samantha, Victoria, Vanessa, Maxx, and Zara" this passage above, it said 5 children, but if all children were male then they were sons, if female then they were daughters. The problem is what is the gender of Maxx? 182.253.54.120 ( talk) 10:40, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
