Talk:Dua Lipa/Archive 2

Edit needed to break up a long run-on sentence and address a hanging clause:

Current: Her father, Dukagjin, was pursuing a career in dentistry but upon arriving in British territory he had to work as a waiter in bars and restaurants together with his wife Anesa; later he began studying marketing and got a job at a music festival production company, such as Glastonbury and Reading, which allowed him to complete his studies at The Chartered Institute of Marketing.[3][7][8]

Update: ''Her father was pursuing a career in dentistry, but upon arriving in British territory he and his wife both had to work waiting tables in bars and restaurants. He later studied marketing and worked for a production company operating music festivals such as Glastonbury and Reading. This allowed him to complete his studies at The Chartered Institute of Marketing.[3][7][8]''

(Note that her parents have already been named in a previous sentence so they don't need to be re-identified here.) 67.8.203.16 (talk) 20:20, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Add Christina Aguilera to her influences under title "artistry". Dua Lipa said this in GQ interview 2018: "My idea of pop has been P!nk and Christina Aguilera and Destiny’s Child and Nelly Furtado." https://www.gq.com/story/dua-lipa-is-changing-the-rules-of-pop-music RavenPrey (talk) 18:39, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish are nationalities of Native United Kingdom citizens. All others are British citizen in nationality but can not and are not born into it. So please correct it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevang61 (talk • contribs) 16:06, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

please add "Dua Lipa" to "Category:21st-century Albanian singers" Oasisarah (talk) 22:11, 12 August 2020 (UTC)


 * ❌. The article makes no mention of Albanian citizenship, and explicitly gives her birth place in the UK. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 22:43, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * albanian can also refer to ethnicity. bebe rexha and ava max are in the category despite being born in the united states.Oasisarah (talk) 12:38, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Still ❌. The plain meaning is citizenship; that the others are misplaced doesn't mean this should be too. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 15:54, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * even though over half of the people in the category arent born in the country, and most of them dont mention albanian citizenship? thats hardly consistant usage of your plain meaning.Oasisarah (talk) 20:08, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * ❌. Then the solution would be to remove those others from the category. It doesn't make much sense to have in categories calling her both British and Albanian. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 20:35, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Does Dua Lipa fall for the Category:Feminist musicians? In the activism section of her Wiki biography, its says that Lipa has stated to be part of feminism and has expressed being against sexism within the music industry, as well as using social media to raise awareness of women's problems and defend gender equality.

Feminism She participated in a short film for an initiative called "Global Feminism" directed by The Circle of Annie Lennox in association with Apple Music released on 7 March 2019 due to International Women's Day that it celebrating the later day. The clip highlights "the injustices that still suffered millions of women and girls around the world due to misogyny, rape and violence to pay for the disparity" in which Lipa appears with a poster that states: "1 and 3 women and girls are impacted by physical or sexual violence in their lifetime".

Dua Lipa is of Muslim background

 * Dua Lipa was born to Albanian parents from Kosovo. Both these nations mostly adhere to Islam.
 * And here, her family and hers use the (Arabic) blessing "Eid Mubarak" to her fans who celebrate Muslim holidays: https://twitter.com/dualipa/status/1007606780170526720 (pre-deletion backup: https://twitter.com/dualipahungary/status/1264512419306582017)
 * And here's The Irish Times telling us her parents are both Muslim immigrants from Kosovo and Bosnia (yet another Muslim-majority nation): https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/dua-lipa-you-have-to-be-made-of-steel-to-not-let-words-get-to-you-1.4220195
 * And here she is visiting a Mosque by herself, while wearing the Muslim headwear of Hijab: https://www.albawaba.com/entertainment/old-rules-dua-lipa-wears-hijab-and-conservative-clothes-inside-abu-dhabi-mosque-pictur
 * We should add at least "She is of Muslim background" to her Early life section; in order to get a more genuine comprehensive bio.
 * Or perhaps "Her family is of Muslim heritage". What do you guys prefer? I opt for the first one. OmerTheAmir (talk) 00:28, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * If you insist. Anyway, I like the second version better. CheckCatBod (talk) 22:10, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * @OmerTheAmir How about a combination: "Her family is of Muslim background"? Karenkuru (talk) 14:44, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. OmerTheAmir (talk) 15:06, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Her family is of Muslim heritage is the most accurate. Bil4lyn (talk) 10:43, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
