Talk:Honorific nicknames in popular music/Archive 8

King of Pop
Justin Timberlake or Justin Bieber aren’t widely know as the King of Pop. There is just only one King of Pop. The sources used are asking the question, referring to them as the “New King of Pop”(not The reigning King of Pop), or simply are just poor sources. There’s been many people with existing sources where “King of Pop” is loosely thrown around(like it is in the case of the 2 Justins) from Usher, Chris Brown, and Sisqo, to most recently, Bruno Mars, Drake, and Beyoncé. Beyoncé! When is the last time you heard any award show, news program, search engine, or radio station introduce any of these artists as the King of Pop. When is the last time the name King of Pop redirected to any of these other artists here on Wikipedia? “King of Pop” should be removed from the 2 Justins, or start an AFD to correct the issue if there is going to be an edit war over it. TruthGuardians (talk) 04:30, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Honorific nicknames should be something widely used and recognizable. Perhaps arguable. Otherwise, the list loses purpose and allows one or two sources to dictate an uncommon nickname for an artist that a publication only referred to as such just that one time. There’s a slippery slope here for fan/self-promotion.— TheWikiholic (talk) 05:06, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

MJ is definitely the most commonly associated with the King of Pop (you see it on the lead section), but historically the term King of Pop predated MJ's career. This article isn't exclusive to artists with the most frequently associated nickname, there's no rule for this. You only care because it's related to your idol. The King of Rock and Roll, the Queen of Soul, and the Queen of Pop are also used multiple times in this page to various artists. Let's not be biased here. Bluesatellite (talk) 06:00, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * When did we start to use blogs as sources on Wikipedia?. Mike Scott is known to be quite anti-Jackson. The way I idolised MJ, and you idolised Madonna, serves no purpose here. I'm also not in favour of using King of rock and roll or queen of pop unless It's been widely and repeatedly used for the respective artists. The sources that have been used for the likes of Timberlake, Bieber, and George Michael never used that name again, on any other day, in any other month or year. It was a one-time occurrence soon to be forgotten like others in the past.— TheWikiholic (talk) 07:06, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Honestly, that's the real problem with the list. Everybody can get a spot when reliable sources mention the nickname. There has never been any strict rule. Carly Rae Jepsen is the Queen of Pop according to this page, then so what. We don't cherry-pick. If there's certain criteria, then it should be applied to all. Not to mention, this article has survived WP:AfD four times. Bluesatellite (talk) 07:40, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree it should be applied to all. Do we really consider Carly Rae Jepsen's Queen of Pop the same as Madonna's? Is this just a list of every occasion someone somewhere calls someone king of this queen of that or we actually want a list where such names are justified by consisent usage? castorbailey (talk) 08:17, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Then perhaps we should create some standards? Carly Rae Jepsen sitting in the same boat as a Madonna or perhaps a Janet just don’t sit right with me. I can agree that the same should apply to all either the way that it is now, or with newly created standards. I guess I was wanting this list to be more prestigious than it actually is now, and believe that standards could help that. Furthermore, I wouldn’t want to AFD the entire article, sorry for the confusion, just parts of it, but on second thought I would probably change my mind because I understand that this article has no standards. TruthGuardians (talk) 14:13, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

On topic/off topic comment: I found about 10 reliable sources that refers to Michael Jackson as the King of Pop, Rock, and Soul. Can we had that entire honorific name under Jackson? Here are 3 of those sources with one referring to him as the King of Pop, Rock, Soul, AND Hip Hop:


 * I think we should keep all those aliases, in that way we don't cherry-pick any nickname and that title isn't the "exception". For me, artists such as George Michael are properlly referenced and there are others that hasn't been added like Robbie Williams. The difference with Michael Jackson will be that is a nickname commonly associated with him and that fact has been added in the lead of this entry and with the redirection of "King of Pop" and "King of Pop (disambiguation)" as well in his main article. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 14:57, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the biggest difference with Michael Jackson is global cultural impact, record sales, popularity, and world records. One is not like the others, but the others are more like each other. I mean if we all agree to the argument of not cherry-picking, then we need to add a notice to the lead and a definition like This is a list of every occasion someone somewhere in the world has called someone an honorific nick name like "King of Rock/Pop" or "Queen of Pop/Rock"TruthGuardians (talk) 15:36, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Criteria/Rules for the addition of honorific nicknames
We need to create strict rule(s) to lose the purpose of the list. Any other suggestions?.— TheWikiholic (talk) 16:32, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Honorific nicknames should be something widely and repeatedly used and recognizable.
 * 2) The source(s) used for the respective Honorific nicknames should specifically say that, the artist is widely/often/commonly known/regarded/called as this nickname. Or something similar.
 * maybe also include some form of notable cultural impact or something in relation to sales requirement or something like that. Just throwing stuff out there at this point in time. TruthGuardians (talk) 20:02, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

, what say you? Are we going to implement some rules to avoid fancruft/puffery? Or are we going to keep the page the same and continue to allow anyone who has ever been called an honorific nickname at some point in their career by some random person who once wrote it in an article be added to this page?TruthGuardians (talk) 04:02, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * This article is going to be bigger and bigger in the future (right now it has nearly a thousand citations). People like Lil Nas X or Olivia Rodrigo is going to be the King and Queen very soon. I personally think we can go with the point (2), but we all need to commit together to apply this to all artists entirely. Let's see others' opinion Bluesatellite (talk) 04:12, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I've just created Talk:Honorific nicknames in popular music/revamp, if you guys are really serious about it. Bluesatellite (talk) 05:16, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I support current list above. I am serious and will support the addition of nicknames if one of the two criteria are met and so far they are in the revamped version.TruthGuardians (talk) 17:24, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

I really feel that for more reliability and satisfaction, official titles should be made discrete and compositely selected from other titles that might not be that protracted in mainstream audiences, i.e an artiste can be both Queen of pop, and 'Almighty Diva' But Madonna is already Queen of Pop, so if that said artiste is more known for being the Almighty Diva it should be catagorically set aside from other titles given or asserted to her. 41.190.12.47 (talk) 19:50, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Incorrect artist listed as the Princes of K-pop. Need to add the correct artist
Vin97346 (talk) 00:33, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * What I think should be changed: "SHINee" should be listed under "Group and collective titles" as the Princes of K-pop.
 * Why it should be changed: The title, Princes of K-pop, is officially cited for SHINee but it shows the title next to BTS, which is incorrect. Due to the impact, contributions, and years in the South Korean music industry, SHINee has gained that title since as early as 2015 from critics, and other artists in the industry. They are also cited as such when you search "Princes of K-pop".

Do we should limited the nicknames attributed to an artist? I saw many of them with up to 10 nicknames, and poorly sourced. This is more persistent with pop divas.

racist and biased garbage page
To say that calling someone an honoriffic title like king of pop is "in spite of" the US's republican constitution and ideology, and that calling elvis the king of rock n roll was to take something that belonged to black people, is an incredibly racist and ridiculously clueless and STUPID thing to say.

Literally NO ONE thinks calling elvis the king of rock n roll means he has authority over that genre or the people who pioneered it, or that he has any greater merit OTHER than being the most popular of that genre at the time. I can't even believe the things I'm reading; it's so incredibly opposite the actual reality of the situation that I'm dumbfounded anyone thinks this way.

It really goes to show what kind of damage looking at things through a racialized RACIST lense does to people; viewing even the simplest things like "king of {genre}" as racist colonialization of music genres when it's literally nothing of the sort and only denotes popularity and nothing more.

This page needs a full overhaul, and the racialised garbage that literally not a single person believes needs to be removed. What I want you to do is go outside, walk down the street, and ask people for their opinions on the terms "king of {genre}" and what they think it means. Not a single person will tell you it means they have authority over the genre and power to decide over others within that genre, especially along racial lines.

Yea, elvis totally was called king of rock n roll as a way for old whitey to take over rock n roll, and NOT because he was the most popular rock n roll artist in the world at the time. Pure stupidity. 2603:7080:CC43:9100:D9A4:FC33:B862:2038 (talk) 22:18, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Draft-ify and improve?
Per the deletion discussion, is there consensus for moving this article to draft space until its inclusion criteria can be worked out? -- Mikeblas (talk) 12:44, 23 May 2023 (UTC)


 * The only possible inclusion criterion I can think of is that to qualify for this list a nickname must meet the following three points:
 * 1) Is actually an honorific.
 * 2) Has been referred to as a widely used nickname by multiple reliable sources -- that is, the nickname itself is discussed as a nickname, not random words used in a headline to fill it out. Example: Rolling Stone calling "The Fab Four" an "indelible" nickname here.
 * 3) The nickname is used significantly by people outside the artist's fan base -- that is, not words used in a headline solely to pander to stans fans.
 * My instinct is that this will narrow down the list so much that it's not worth keeping, but I also can't think of any other set of criteria that would produce something meaningful. Gnomingstuff (talk) 13:07, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
 * How would you define honorific title? As strictly as the Wikipedia article does? Then even "The Fab Four" don't make it. I completely agree about 2) and 3), though: there needs to be a long-standing pattern of wide-spread usage, and not just one off excited journalists pumping excitement. Even if we changed this scope to "music nicknames", I think your 2) and 3) would still need to apply. -- Mikeblas (talk) 20:34, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
 * A very good question, and part of why I AfDed it in the first place. I'm honestly not sure. Gnomingstuff (talk) 02:14, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

I think it would be better to transform this List article into Paragraph article detailing and focusing the "history" of nicknames in popular music. For example, readers need to know where The King of Pop" title originally came from. Was Michael Jackson really the first person to be called so, and since when it's become synonymous with him? I found that Australian pop music awards had already "King of Pop" awards since the 1960s, long before Michael Jackson starting his career. We can also discuss controversy or dispute of the titles, etc etc. For example, Rolling Stone received online backlash for dubbing Harry Styles the King of Pop., or Lady Gaga as the Queen of Pop. Leaving this article in List form would be endless. There would be dozens of future top artists to be called "Kings" and "Queens" by media. Bluesatellite (talk) 03:48, 3 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I've in my watchlist this page, and I was always wonder how the page could be improved. In the recent AfD, there were many saying keep & rework, although with little examples how to reach that goal. By the moment, I maintain the POV to limit the nicknames for individuals: see pop divas such as Shakira, all mainstream women in popular music receive a lot of nicknames nowadays and many here have dubious "honorific nicknames". Another consideration could be the inclusion only if a mainstream media outlet/newspaper of records explicitly says "widely", "known", "dubbed" the "Queen/King of" along with 3 other sources. Maybe the tables could be sorted with the nicknames and then all prominent individuals receiving that nickname (King of Pop, Queen of Soul, Queen of Pop and more). For the record, in print sources, as far I remember, Elvis Presley or Bing Crosby were among the firsts to be called Kings of Pop. This is a strong example how others have received a particular nickname, although MJ has been the most associated individual with it. Even before music artists, there was Andy Warhol, aka King of Pop (short of pop art). There are many ways to re-build the page. Perhaps a survey could help. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 04:25, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

 * This basically contradicts the previous item. If Maxwell were commonly considered the King of Neo-Soul, then D'Angelo wouldn't be, and if D'Angelo were commonly considered the King of Neo-Soul, then Maxwell wouldn't be. From this I conclude that neither of them should be recognized in this article as the King of Neo-Soul. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:39, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I can state that it's not true because they both are the top prominent figures to start the Neo-Soul genre movement. Jojomg17 (talk) 00:27, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * To explain my perspective here, I was one of the people who recommended deletion of this page in the recent discussion at Articles for deletion/Honorific nicknames in popular music, because I thought that a lot of the honorific nicknames being listed were questionable. Since the majority recommended keeping the page, I'm not going to try to delete existing nicknames but I am going to discourage the inclusion of additional dubious nicknames. And I can find more sources that indicate that neither D'Angelo nor Maxwell is the King of Neo-Soul. This article from VH1 says, "Raphael Saadiq ... If Badu is the Queen, then Saadiq is the 'King of Neo Soul.'" According to this article, Erykah Badu called Roy Ayers the "king of neo-soul". And this article from The Journal of Pan African Studies says, "As for the 'Queen of Neo-Soul,' Badu confronts a particular set of problems the more and more erotic her artistic performance gets. There is no 'King of Neo-Soul,' revealingly. He isn’t dead. 'He' simply never was. There is no such conception." So there are at least two other potential "kings of neo-soul" as well as an explicit claim that "there is no 'King of Neo-Soul'". --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:21, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Recent changes
The AfD from May produced a clear consensus that a major rework was needed for this article, however no changes were actually made since then. Therefore, I decided to give it a go and tried to rework the list by deleting entries that were not supported by well-established sources, pure WP:FANCRUFT, nicknames that are not actually honorific, not even mentioned in their respective article, or produces rather insignificant results after searching the artist and their "nickname" on Google. I also tried to limit nicknames for each artist to 1 or 2 based on the one that is most associated with the artist, as many had several nicknames that are somewhat associated with them but are not as recognizable. If there are entries that any feel were wrongly deleted and well justified, please feel free to discuss. Thanks! ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯  talk  01:41, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for trimming it. I think your reasoning is spot on. I would also suggest only including entries with at least 3 reliable sources. I haven't had time to properly go through the updated article yet but just on a quick glance there are still a lot of entries with just a single/not very well known source (mostly in spanish or about latin artists). Also I feel like we have way too many pictures.. maybe sticking to one per table should be enough. - Ïvana (talk) 02:16, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I also agree that there are too many pictures. I would support a requirement that any new entries require at least 3 sources from well-regarded publications (ex. Rolling Stone, Billboard, GWR, and the likes) to be included, not just any random publication that slaps some nickname in front of an artist's name solely to satisfy their fandoms. As for the entries of the Latin artists you were mentioning, please go ahead and remove those who you think are not-as-notable. ɴᴋᴏɴ21  ❯❯❯  talk  02:34, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Taylor Swift
Hi. Please raise your concern here instead of edit-warring. Swift has gone by multiple titles throughout her career, as the sources in the old version of the article (before the overhaul) proved. But according to the recent editorial consensus, this article is supposed to include only one title per artist. And as such, all the titles except "The Music Industry" were removed. Your attempt to selectively remove not only the title but Swift—arguably the most notable musician of the 21st century according to critics—entirely from the article is questionable and borderline biased.  ℛonherry  ☘  13:49, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Isn't "America's sweetheart" more widely known? I'm not a TS fan but I've heard that title more than the music industry one. - Ïvana (talk) 14:00, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know if it's more known, but she has many titles, all supported by reliable sources. My point is, at least one of them (I don't care if it's "The Music Industry" or "America's Sweetheart") should be included in the table. I oppose completely removing Swift from the article. I support inclusion of any one of her titles, preferably "The Music Industry" or "America's Sweetheart".  ℛonherry  ☘  14:30, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * As I said here before on the talk page, Honorific nicknames should be something widely used and recognizable. Perhaps arguable. Otherwise, the list loses purpose and allows one or two sources to dictate an uncommon nickname for an artist that a publication only referred to as such just that one time. There’s a slippery slope here for fan/self-promotion. The source(s) used for the respective Honorific nicknames should specifically say that, the artist is widely/often/commonly known/regarded/called as this nickname. Or something similar. TheWikiholic (talk) 04:29, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Same here, when it comes to Swift's nicknames I've hear more "America's Sweetheart" rather than The Music Industry outside her fandom and one land (USA). Beyond that mainly some American newspapers have referred the original citation by Bloomberg's article and later a (self) promotional tactic, there is not an accompanied key word such as "widely", "often cited" and a similar attribution specifically said by a third-party media outlet. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 06:19, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Don Omar is already included in the article though? He was there even before the massive cleanup we've been doing the past month. So I'm not sure what this request is about. But for what is worth I can confirm that he is known as el rey del reguetón in the Spanish-speaking sphere. - Ïvana (talk) 22:46, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello both, thank you for responding. In response to Ïvana, the request in question arises since Nkon21 mentioned that there was no evidence of such nickname to the singer Don Omar. However, the real reason for this suggestion lies in keeping the two "Kings of Reggaeton" together, since they share the same title and nationality. I also suggest replacing the image in the article by which the two singers appear together, mentioning what they both are known as. In this way:

Can you put the title for EXO aside from nation's pick, the kpop emperors as well? I can provide links that supported them as the kpop emperors.
