Talk:Cristóbal Balenciaga

Sexuality
I dont see why we keep on having people listed as homosexual by category, or even by wikiproject, where the subjects sexual orientation is not mentioned in the body of the article. which reference identifies him as gay?(mercurywoodrose)75.61.135.189 (talk) 03:22, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Basque?
There's no mention of him being Basque, save for a note about naming conventions. Is it relevant? I'll leave that to the editors, but it does seem relevant in the grand scheme of basque artists, and given he knew Chillida well. 73.49.165.66 (talk) 04:49, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

He was Spanish, so in the text box mentioning the naming conventions it should say "spanish name". He never identified with having a Basque ethnicity or anything like that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newrednight (talk • contribs) 16:40, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Basque
He VERY MUCH was Basque, and both Balenciaga and Eizaguirre are Basque surnames! You shouldn't add pronunciation guidelines in Spanish when Basque names are NOT pronounced like Spanish ones! 2A0C:5A80:3A10:2400:48E1:731F:8F44:3F12 (talk) 23:46, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
