Should we include the 'young woman's' name at this point? It's clearly Laina Walker. She posted an AMA on Reddit (which was taken down) but she has a Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/LainawalkerFans ~labalicious — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.145.241 ( talk) 17:46, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
Update, her real facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/laina622 ~labalicious — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.145.241 ( talk) 18:14, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
Walker is wrong. Can I put her real name back with a source? CallawayRox ( talk) 19:25, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Are we going to leave her real name out or not? CallawayRox ( talk) 19:52, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, one of the sources for the article says her first and last name in the title of the article. So do with that info whatever seems appropriate. 68.153.29.9 ( talk) 18:43, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
OAG was originally featured on Youtube; only after this was seen by millions did the meme emerge. The article is misleading. It is also rather badly written; you wouldn't say the BBC 'churns out' videos, so why here? [corrected]. Editorial snobbery should not be allowed on Wikipedia. Heenan73 ( talk) 15:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
The criticism referenced in the article consists of a handful of one-line comments on a blog, which is deeply suspect; I've left it because there is a potential for such criticism - indeed, someone may have a better reference? Heenan73 ( talk) 15:36, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Her videos have 15+ million views and the "criticism" is a few comments on a blog and a seven-sentence Jezebel article? By that standard, every meme on the internet should have a "criticism" section, highlighting what a couple of random people said about it. I'm deleting this section because it seems completely contrived. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.146.128.112 ( talk) 07:45, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
OAG should be dropped. It does not mean anything in English. -- Dixtosa ( talk) 14:39, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Again (Internet personality) should be dropped. When another equally famous Laina Morris appears then add it to the name. -- Dixtosa ( talk) 17:41, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
The height specified according to her short Q&A in Periscope app at 22 June 2015. I'm captured this part of the video and can upload it somewhere as a proof if it will be necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nowitscorrect ( talk • contribs) 02:30, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Page moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) -- Dane talk 22:22, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Overly Attached Girlfriend – I would have listed it at
WP:RM#TR (there is a redirect to overwrite), but I see it was moved from there by
Fusiondance1 (ping) in 2014. Maybe there was a spike of interest for her real identity then, but both the sources and the
General Oblivion and Omnipotent Guide to Lots of Everything use OAG primarily.

It's a bit weird to see this article start with "Overly Attached Girlfriend (OAG) is a fictional character and an Internet meme..." and then not actually illustrate what the memes are or were. I know that the memes aren't hugely flattering to the person herself, but having a text description of an image instead of any examples of said imagine is a serious gap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.168.35.70 ( talk) 16:00, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
