Birth date
My research has her birth date as 30 September 1954, not 1959. Can anyone throw more light on this ?

somethings wrong!!!
"Basia" is just a first name - the article should be in Basia Trzetrzelewska not here! Szczur Zosia 18:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * _ _ That is irrelevant. WP policy clearly calls for common names, and her common name & thus title are "Basia" just (even tho not as commonly known) as Madonna's are "Madonna".
 * _ _ Even if Basia, Pakistan were not a village too small for its article to mention its population, and were big enuf to drive her bio to a Dab'd companion of Basia (as London does London, Ontario), her bio would be Basia (singer), with the full name simply a Rdr. --Jerzy•t 03:38, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

BasiaSongs.com
For the mention of Basia's upcoming album, It's That Girl Again, I've replaced the unacceptable claim from a fan website with a citation (and quote) from what is supposedly her official website, BasiaSongs.com. The trouble is that when you look behind the covers, this domain seems to be a front for "web.mac.com/whitegrainne", which makes it look an awful lot like a personal website — not an acceptable source. Do we have any evidence (i.e., a reliable source) that indicates BasiaSongs.com is truly official? If it isn't, first-person writing supposedly from Basia is deceptive, especially since this information is provided without dates or context that could provide secondary sources for cross-checking.

I can't tell which this is, because it seems just as likely to me that (A) an artist's helpful webmaster hasn't the least clue about how to present a well-organized, referenceable website, being more interested in flash and trendiness, like abysmally documented blog formats; or (B) a fan is sufficient web-savvy to create a semi-professional website using their web.mac.com user account and redirect all HTTP requests from a conveniently available and official-sounding name like "basiasongs.com" to this personal website. We need proof to indicate the true nature of this website. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:44, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Moved to US/UK
She was in a Polish band, then "From 1977, she sang with the rock group Perfect; settling temporarily in Chicago in 1979." Er, what? Wasn't Poland under communist rule then? There's a story missing here, I think, about how she was allowed to emigrate. -Rolypolyman (talk) 05:10, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Reverted change
i just happened to be reading this article about Basia when I noticed an editor put a question in the discography where it clearly didn't belong. the question was: Where is BRAVE NEW WORLD on discography so i took it upon myself to revert it. DyNama (talk) 07:38, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was moved as per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (both pages have been moved). As per this discussion, the artist's most commonly used name is "Basia", and the artist is the primary topic for the term "Basia" by itself. kotra (talk) 20:06, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Basia Trzetrzelewska → Basia &mdash; "Basia" is the name this singer use for singing. She isn't creating music as "Basia Trzetrzelewska". Marciooo (talk) 12:29, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Support per WP:NCP: Nicknames, pen names, stage names, cognomens, a variation of WP:UCN (use common names). I've added a hatnote to disambiguate her from other Basias.  —   AjaxSmack   19:47, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support — same reasons as above. — V = I * R  (talk) 22:13, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If so, then also Basia to Basia (disambiguation) would be needed. Or move Basia Trzetrzelewska to Basia (singer)? Is she notable enough to be a dominant meaning? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:36, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, yea, Basia (singer) would probably be best. — V = I * R  (talk) 23:49, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Basia (singer) is not necessary. The only other unqualified "Basia" at Basia (disambiguation) is Basia, Pakistan and it is does not appear notable enough to dethrone the singer as the primary topic.  —   AjaxSmack   04:25, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I was actually looking more at Basia Bulat. — V = I * R  (talk) 04:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * But she's not known unqualifiedly(is that a word?) as Basia. She's Basia Bulat, always with a surname.   —   AjaxSmack   19:28, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Currently disambig page Basia has 9 choices. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:31, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * But only two of them are known as plain "Basia": this one and Basia, Pakistan (for which the dab page is the only incoming link). Kanguole 23:37, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

I was going to close this requested move (working through the backlog list). But knowing little about it, it is not clear to me that Basia Trzetrzelewska is well enough known to be moved to Basia, and there does not yet seem to be consensus for moving the article to Basia (singer) which might also cause problems with Basia Bulat. Hopefully there will be further discussion to make it easier for someone else to close this one. --PBS (talk) 19:53, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. Added move of Basia to Basia (disambiguation). The singer gets about 80 times as many page views as Basia, Pakistan. 199.125.109.99 (talk) 18:22, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Removed references to being a record producer
Her title said she was a record producer but there are no citations or information provided to verify her experience as a record producer. Her Allmusic credits are all as artist (none as producer). There is a difference between being a recording artist and record producer (see Record Producer page for more info) Actaudio (talk) 02:14, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

The Two Photos are off different people
THe article contains two photos of Basia (first one being a portrait and the second of Basia in performance) Both are dated 2011 but honestly, they cannot be the same person. They took totally different. How can this be the same person? 2A02:C7C:6292:CF00:44D4:480C:68E1:A7DB (talk) 11:05, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
