Company article
[edit]The pages for the person and the company need to be split -- a $6 billion/year company deserves its own entry. Rusty 21:43, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Ancestry
[edit]Was she jewish?
- Her obituary says she was Belgian. [1]
- "In the 1930s Omer, his wife Louise Fenner Claiborne, and their young daughter returned to their home in New Orleans, where Liz received a strict Roman Catholic upbringing." Encyclopedia of World Biography. In google, her company appears on several Roman Catholic charity donors lists, as well. --Kunzite 01:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- The Washington Post obit states that she was born in Brussels to a family with strong strong Louisiana roots. An ancestor was the Governor of Louisiana during the War of 1812. [2].Capitalistroadster 04:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Stub classification
[edit]This article has been classified as a stub. This is due to the removal of the information on her company. It can be reclassified as a start once more information is added on her life and career. Capitalistroadster 21:40, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- It has now been reclassified as a start due to its expansion
Talk page
[edit]For some reason, this is the talk page for the Liz Claiborne Inc. article. Capitalistroadster 03:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- This article is about Liz Claiborne, the person. Liz Claiborne the clothing line was sold to J. C. Penney (2011 perhaps), who still apparently owns it. Liz Claiborne the corporation then changed its name to Fifth & Pacific Companies (2012) and is now called Kate Spade & Company (2014). Corporate details should be entered into that article and WP discussion about the corporation article entered onto that Talk Page. Confusing, I know!

Was Liz Claiborne Jewish???
[edit]Was Liz Claiborne Jewish? Thanks in advance to anybody that knows.
- I don't find this question relevant to anything at all; except for some disturbing instances of racism on the internet; perhaps documenting 'jews' isn't precisely the 'notability' that we are looking for on wikipedia? 70.57.240.90 (talk) 08:28, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Does anybody know what the name of the rare abdominal cancer she had???

Liz Claiborne (fashion designer) → Liz Claiborne – Move article to undisambiguated redirect, no disambiguation needed now a hatnote explains where the company is now located. Mabalu (talk) 11:04, 3 April 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:39, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose; set up a disambiguation page instead. Many of the links to "Liz Claiborne" intend the former company, not the person. Links in Politics of Myanmar, Kay Koplovitz, Teen dating violence and Project Runway (season 4) clearly intend the company. Plantdrew (talk) 19:01, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hmm. It does seem pretty daft that searching for the designer name dumps you at what, at first glance, is a completely different brand, although the discrepancy is indeed made clear in the opening lede sentence. I don't know if I'm unusual in this, but when I put in a person's name, I expect to go to a biographical article, and there does seem some inconsistency there - Ralph Lauren goes to a biography but Calvin Klein doesn't. Even the Kate Spade article consistently refers to Liz Claiborne Inc.... Mabalu (talk) 23:01, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support, individual bio articles would seem to take precedence over naming pages, and they probably do or should throughout Wikipedia (Kate Spade does direct to the bio. A Calvin Klein RM in order?). Randy Kryn 13:35, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support. Incoming links should be fixed anyway – they remain broken if this RM succeeds or not. Liz the person is currently the only contender for undisambiguated title, and the company is already properly linked from hatnote per WP:TWODABS. No such user (talk) 14:50, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
