Talk:Example (musician)

Untitled
I feel the addition of the notability tag is unreasonable; Example is an up-and-coming musician receiving airplay from various notable DJs and stations and I beg to differ with the assertion that the primary source of this article is his myspace page. Indeed information from there has been used but a number of other references have been identified in the external links section.

I do not see the harm in leaving this page on the site rather than removing it - should Example recieve more attention in future, then a similar page would just be recreated. Hasty deletion would be innapropriate and unreasonable. Simon Kilpin 10:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps change the title of the page from 'Example (rapper)' to 'Example (musician)' most of his noteable songs are hardly rap —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.12.147.151 (talk) 18:28, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Notability
His music video gets regular airplay on MTV2. Merits an article, methinks. --Caustic Armadillo 13:04, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Apparently he's had video airplay on 6 music channels. Also NME has featured articles on him more than once, not to mention BBC Radio 1&6 having interviews with him and of course playing his music and spots on The Culture Show. Also this article is not a stub, so to remove it would seem foolish purely because he isn't famous just yet - he doesn't even have an album out yet, just a bootleg.

e.g. is not an "abbreviation for example"
Ran across this article while doing a test search for "example". The current wording in the first paragraph might lead one to believe that "e.g." is an abbreviation for "example". This is most obviously incorrect. It is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase "exempli gratia" -- "for the sake of example" or "for example". So it is, in fact, "an abbreviation for 'for example'", however awkward that sounds. The wording needs to be worked on... --Wulf (talk) 08:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

not an abbreviation
Technically, "e.g." is not an abbreviation of "for example". That would be "f.e." "e.g." is only an abbreviation of "exempli gratia", which means "for example" in English. Cyberxstrm (talk) 19:49, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

pagename
I think he's far from a rapper now, can it be changed to something else eg, (Musician)? 81.105.209.131 (talk) 21:14, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

This page should really be renamed
On his Twitter page he describes himself as "Started off singing. Then rapping. Now back to singing. But still rap occasionally". I don't think the article should identify him as a 'rapper', as a couple of others have already said he doesn't really rap that much anyway on his recent material - there's maybe 10 second of rap in Changed The Way You Kiss Me? If that. Page should be renamed Example (musician). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.192.81.95 (talk) 22:03, 29 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Changed to Example (Musician) yesterday Roachie (talk) 15:56, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Currently, it is Example (musician).  —  Jeff G. ツ  (talk)   03:36, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Religion
Is Example Jewish? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.11.147.69 (talk) 22:28, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 20 April 2012
Two new songs confirmed via set list for his 2012 arena tour for the new album - "Where Did The Sun Go?" and "Coming Back"

Daydreamer track
So the section of new tracks that Example has tweeted includes a track called "Daydreamer", and he's just recently collaborated with Flux Pavilion who has released a track called "Daydreamers", anyone know if these are in fact the same song? If so perhaps the article should be edited to reflect that.

Birthplace
I suspect that he was actually born at West London Hospital, Hammersmith (not a West London hospital). The hospital closed in 1993. See http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/westlondon.html Beowulf (talk) 17:25, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Am going to fix this today. Beowulf (talk) 13:12, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
