I get really annoyed with the editing on this page. Someone just removed 2 sites they claimed were 'fan sites'. Now no offense to Mr. Meighan but google him for a second...hes no Britney Spears. He doesnt have rabid fans putting out false data about him.
The two sites in question were of way different nature and authors. The first was a geneaology site, well researched and contained extremely important information on Meighan (such as his obituary). Again google that, you wont find another site listing such info. I dont see how that makes it a fan site, I find it quite a relevant information site alongside Golden Silents or Silentgents (both sites well linked on Wikipedia).
As for the second one, it was a silent film blog. Yes blogs are low on the list but the research is there, and its not just an 'anyone can edit' thing. It also provides pertinent data, summarizing Meighan's career and life. I dont see how thats a fan site as if you look through it it is not dedicated to Meighan and is a heavily researched site. Why again it should be removed over something like SilentGents or Golden Silents makes no sense to me. I think editors are too heavy handed sometimes. Again this is Thomas Meighan were talking about...not Paris Hilton. Look on any number of actors wikipedias (the well sourced from silents to talkies) and all have sites listed at the bottom either dedicated to the star or with articles about the star. Why should Meighan be any different? -- Maggiedane ( talk) 21:03, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
