Talk:Don Diablo

I can't list all the things wrong with this article, will someone take the time to clean it up?

Ditto on that. It could probably just be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.121.120.19 (talk) 05:12, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm try to clean it up! Have done a major overhaul, added some references, made it less subjective. Will continue updating. Give me a few weeks. (18 June 2009) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oorbeek (talk • contribs) 00:22, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Don Diablo discography
 Support split - Discography section takes up close to one third of the page, and should be split to a new article entitled Don Diablo discography. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:22, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Name
Lopifalko, please explain your side of the story about Don Diablo's last name being Diablo and not Schipper. The man himself has said his real name is Don Schipper, Diablo is a nickname. - TheMagnificentist (talk) 16:00, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Ss112. I would like you to have a say on this about using "Diablo" to refer in the content of this article. I think the article's main content should use "Schipper" which is his real last name not his stage name (nickname). Lopifalko chooses to use "Diablo" in the main content as reference to his last name, which should not be acceptable. - TheMagnificentist (talk) 16:09, 23 November 2016 (UTC)


 * The article intermixed Diable and Schipper. I standardised that to always use Schipper. Having read Naming conventions (people) I changed that to Diablo. I looked but found no policy regarding how the pseudonym was supposed to be used (Don Diablo or Diablo). Since your reversion of my edit, I have standardised the article on Don Diablo. -Lopifalko (talk) 16:05, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Even so, Diablo is invalid because it's half of a nickname. Without Don, it's not a legitimate pseudonym. - TheMagnificentist (talk) 16:12, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I've seen articles use both. It depends, and I have conflicting views over it myself. For instance, Madonna's surname is Ciccone, but 99% of the time she is referred to as her mononym, and so if the article were to use "Ciccone" over and over, people may be confused (but perhaps that's not particularly comparable because Don Diablo is not known by one name). I understand shortening "Don Diablo" to Diablo, because using "Don Diablo" over and over is a bit wordier (and it's clear who's being talked about, which is the main thing), and Schipper is his real surname, so I understand that too. I don't mind either way, so long as any one article is consistent with what it chooses to use.  Ss 112  16:18, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I hear you, TheMagnificentist, and you'll see I already standardised on Don Diablo. So I can use it in future, do you know where the policy is on the use of nicknames please (the equivalent of WP:SURNAME)? Regarding use of Schipper, WP:NICKNAME, at least, says "The name used most often to refer to a person in reliable sources is generally the one that should be used as the article title, even if it is not the person's "real" name". -Lopifalko (talk) 16:22, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Two articles linked to on WP:NCM use differing standards. It's hard to say. 50 Cent uses "Jackson" as that's his real surname (and I daresay he isn't better known as Curtis Jackson), and Lady Gaga shortens uses of her name to just "Gaga" and not "Germanotta", her real surname.  Ss 112  16:25, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:SURNAME says "After the initial mention of any name, the person should generally be referred to by surname only". So by Wikipedia policies, Schipper should be used. But it also says that "People who are best known by a pseudonym should be subsequently referred to by their pseudonymous surnames, unless they do not include a recognizable surname in the pseudonym, in which case the whole pseudonym is used". - TheMagnificentist (talk) 16:34, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * That would seem to support "Diablo" then, as it is a recognisable pseudonymous surname as it follows Western name order, a first and surname.  Ss 112  17:05, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Ahah, MOS:SURNAME states: "People who are best known by a pseudonym should be subsequently referred to by their pseudonymous surnames, unless they do not include a recognizable surname in the pseudonym (e.g. Sting, Snoop Dogg, the Edge), in which case the whole pseudonym is used." Therefore, 'Diablo.' -Lopifalko (talk) 17:27, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
