Talk:Yanni/Archive 1

Cruiseship reference

The following paragraph contributed by Humanguy was removed pending citation/proof for encyclopedic content. Cricket02 17:06, 17 September 2006 (UTC) "On October 5, 1980, while serving as on-board entertainment aboard the cruise ship MV Prinsendam, Yanni survived the sinking of the ship in the Gulf of Alaska. Although he did survive the sinking, all passengers were safely evacuated before the ship actually sank in tow near Sitka, Alaska".

Talk with Yanni in Mind

"The mustachioed one dated that old bat Linda Evans from 1989 until 1998" is probably the least encyclopaedic sentence ever created in the history of mankind

It says here that Yanni is not familiar with 'standard music notation' and composes "in a form of his own devising". I am very curious if someone would elaborate further on this.

Thanks.

Citizenship & Heritage

The article doesn't elaborate on this, but it does say that he was born in Greece. If he was born there, he is not "Greek American", but rather just Greek (naturalized in the US? The article doesn't say). A "Greek American" is someone with Greek heritage, that is, someone born in the US but with ethnic/cultural roots in Greece, not a Greek who happens to live in the US, or even one who has naturalized himself (that could be called a "Greek-born American").

Pictures

only photograph is from arrest based on disputed charges?

• I agree. Can a screen capture from a LATA DVD be added as a fair-use image to this article? Equinoxe 17:35, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• I strongly disagree, they should be included, they are newsworthy

Arrest Should be included

• I think the arrest should be included. I came here wanted to know more about the arrest, and it wasn't there. Is this article biased for Yanni? It happened, it should be included.
  • Not sure why you would come to an encyclopedia to look up current events. Wikipedia is not tabloid journalism - it is an encyclopedia. (Thanks Equinox) I cite: Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Cricket02 03:55, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Innocent Until Guilty

I don't think that Chilung's addition is appropriate: "A lot of Yanni's fans wonder how such a highly respected musician with wonderful philosophies of life could do such a thing." Nothing has been proven and the charges are disputed, nor is it particularly neutral in tone. I've reverted it back to D6's previous version. Aristoi 18:32, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
