Talk:Erika Eiffel

Untitled

Regarding notability: note that Eiffel has achieved notability in more than one way, having achieved sporting excellence at a national level, being the subject of extensive worldwide media coverage, including being interviewed for U.S. national television, and founding a notable organization. -- Karada (talk) 09:35, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

better picture

Surely you can find a better picture of her?--68.186.160.22 (talk) 20:47, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

"relationship with the Berlin Wall"

I don't believe "relationship" is an appropriate term to describe the attraction to an inanimate object. It may be from her POV, but not from an objective one. --Kraligor (talk) 20:58, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Her point of view IS objective. Feelings may not be very well understood yet by science, but they still matter, and there doesn't have to be a dichotomy between "feelings and fact." Subjective experiences count objectively. 71.181.240.45 (talk) 18:10, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Points of view are literally the definition of "subjective", not objective. --Jorm (talk) 17:26, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

"Spouse"

Is she truly married to the Eiffel Tower? Should we list it as her spouse? --WikiEditor1o2oi3i (talk) 17:23, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

No, she isn't, and we aren't.--Jorm (talk) 17:25, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

That's just your opinion, please support it with Wikipedia policies--WikiEditor1o2oi3i (talk) 17:45, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

It's actually not my "opinion"; it's a fact; and the onus of proof is the other way around.--Jorm (talk) 17:50, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

How about, as a compromise, we list her spouse as the Eiffel Tower but add a footnote stating that the official status of the marriage is unknown or that it's just plainly not official.--WikiEditor1o2oi3i (talk) 17:59, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

No. There is no compromise here. The article lays out that she believes this and that is sufficient. Without a reliable source saying that she is actually "married" to the Eiffel Tower, then it's not going into the infobox.--Jorm (talk) 19:01, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Did the Eiffel Tower give its consent to this marriage, or is it at all possible that it is being forced into a relationship it wants no part of? If there's no definitive answer, it would seem an unfair label being thrust upon it. -2pou (talk) 00:21, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

“Spouse” new debate

Could we please change Erika’s name to LaBrie and remove her spouse as you cannot officially marry an object and as this marriage is unofficial we should remove her spouse and change her name to LaBrie. BG45 (talk) 13:35, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

That depends on if her name was legally changed to Eiffel. If it was officially legally changed, then the listing of Eiffel is correct. If it was not officially legally changed however, the correct listing would be LaBrie. RevenantBacon (talk) 23:19, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

Documentary

There is no mention on the page of her appearence in the 2008 documentary "Married To The Eiffel Tower" where I believe many people know her from. In this film she went by the name Naisho ~2025-31877-71 (talk) 16:46, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
