Talk:Chilly Gonzales

promotional bio
This article sounds too much like a promotional bio. Make sure it isn't a copyright violation. Joseph N Hall 17:59, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Unquestionably at least some of the text comes from another source. This article should probably be tagged as a suspected copyvio. Joseph N Hall 18:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

After finding unattributed quotes from another two sources online I've tagged as a copyvio. Joseph N Hall 18:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Four years on the article is still class=Stub. Generally speaking, there will be other problems with the article if the article doesn't state the Place of birth City, Province, Canada and the musician/band's place of origin also as City, Province, Canada.

London, England
A person has changed his current residence to London England.Does anyone have a real source for this? The user was 190.16.188.56. I have to say i am sceptical about changes like this from an IP address. I have added a citation needed to the article Phil Nolte (talk) 11:47, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Gonzales does not reside in London, he told me such, however I do not have any concrete references at this time. Regardless, can someone edit it out for now as there's no reference for London either. Perhaps a born in Canada can be subsituted in it's place. 92.29.149.19 (talk) 17:03, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

No Birthday
Apparently, Gonzales has no birth date. His own website, fan sites, music sites, etc.. not a single birth date is listed for this artist throughout the entire internet. Very bizarre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dogma5 (talk • contribs) 03:52, 16 February 2011 (UTC)


 * It's right there on his passport, which is his Twitter background: 20 March, 1972 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.78.46.106 (talk) 06:17, 26 April 2011 (UTC)


 * The currently give n date of birth is not in line with information given in the wiki article on his brother, Christophe Beck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iediteverything (talk • contribs) 22:42, 26 October 2020 (UTC)


 * As the IP stated above, Gonzales' birthday is well-sourced by his passport, which can still be seen at, , or . He also states in an interview, that Christophe Beck is in fact his older brother. Sources for Christophe's birthday on the other hand are sloppy and long-standingly disputed. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 17:41, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Artist Name
Chilly Gonzales has been going by this stage name for a number of years and is how he is referred to on his website, CDs and by the media. I suggest the page be changed from "Gonzales (musician)" to "Chilly Gonzales" since this is a more relevant search result. The name Gonzales can be referred to as a former stage name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cotedesneiges (talk • contribs) 19:17, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Coincidentally, I was just about to make the exact same proposal as you have for the exact same reasons. A further reason to move the page is because the current title requires a parenthetical for disambiguation and Wikipedia policy on titles says, "Natural disambiguation: If it exists, choose an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English" (See: WP:PRECISION). So there is yet another reason to move it, since the move would eliminate the need for any disambiguating parenthetical. I'll make the move. 142 and 99 (talk) 17:32, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Shut Up and Play the Piano
I’m curious about why there is no mention anywhere on this page of the documentary feature about Gonzales called “Shut Up and Play the Piano”. 24.224.192.80 (talk) 15:03, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
