 * Not really needed, as the "Princess of Pop" label is already cited well and didn't need more references. You don't need to add every article that labels Kylie Minogue as the "princess of pop". Hotwiki (talk) 00:50, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Is she wasn't referred as the "Australian Queen of Pop"? --Apoxyomenus (talk) 02:17, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Here are several American sources that label her as the Princess of Pop:
 * CNN: Of course, Kylie Minogue has a new album coming out titled “Disco.” The Princess of Pop has become well known for her dance tunes, and her 15th studio album drops on Friday.
 * USA Today: Australia's highest-selling female recording artist and "princess of pop" is a Gemini.
 * Vulture: The Princess of Pop released a new song today, “Magic,” along with a glowing music video.
 * Vulture again: "Just in time for fulfill our summer fantasies, princess of pop Kylie Minogue and Years & Years have collaborated on “Starstruck (Remix)"
 * W Magazine: (This one is very relevant) Kylie Minogue is perhaps best known in America for her hit song “Cant Get You Out of My Head.” To the rest of the world, she is known as the definitive “Princess of Pop.”
 * All of these are English-language American sources. I am not saying that sources calling her the "Australian Princess of Pop" do not exist (Billboard is one example) but to say outright that non-European/non-Australian sources have never referenced her title is untrue. There is no MOS policy stating that honorific nicknames can only be used for one person. I can find even more North American sources, these only took me around 5 minutes or so. Please discuss further before reverting again PHShanghai &#124; they/them (talk) 11:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Every time I edit this article, you always revert it minutes later saying "not needed" and "it's fine as it was" even with proper sources and a talk page section opened. For more information, please see WP:SQS PHShanghai &#124; they/them (talk) 11:50, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Once again, I disagreed with your changes. You don't need to take it personally, I just don't see how the recent changes you've made benefit the lead section. You have a habit/pattern of changing the lead section everytime you come across this article which isn't really helpful/needed to begin with. Hotwiki (talk) 12:06, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * That's the pattern I'm talking about. You've been doing this habit for how many months now? Hotwiki (talk) 12:12, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, why are you bolding Princess of Pop? and it looked like that in your edits? That is against Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Hotwiki (talk) 12:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Also I've now removed "European press" based from the references that's just been posted by PHShanghai. Hotwiki (talk) 12:36, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * See Madonna and Michael Jackson. PHShanghai &#124; they/them (talk) 18:32, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I've checked the Wikipedia articles of Britney Spears ("Princess of Pop"), Beyoncé ("Queen Bey"), Cher ("Goddess of Pop") and Celine Dion ("Queen of power ballads") – their respective honorific nickname located in the lead section of their Wikipedia article, aren't in bold type face. Plus they directly lead to Honorific nicknames in popular music. A Wikilink in the lead section of this article, that you removed in your previous edit. Hotwiki (talk) 04:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Correcting grammar is a habit that doesn't benefit the lead section? Let me remind you, in the midst of your several edit wars towards me you kept reverting to a version that had a blatant basic spelling mistake until I changed it. For every content I added that isn't grammatical fixes (Tension critical acclaim) I opened a section on the talk page for it. I am open to dispute resolution to tackle the WP:SQS at hand. Thank you. PHShanghai &#124; they/them (talk) 18:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You were the only one changing it and nobody else changed it for grammatical purposes. Also, I will bring up your history of false claims in the past, for several times you've changed the lead section. Hotwiki (talk) 01:02, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

July 2024 RfC
I would like to change the lead section. This is the process recommended by DRN to avoid the constant stonewalling on this article. I trimmed it down but still kept the same facts. It's now 40~ ish words less than the one being reverted to and is easier to read in my opinion. PHShanghai &#124; they/them (talk) 14:17, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

 * This link right here shows the "difference between revisions". removed the wikilink of the character of Minogue's breakthrough acting role - Charlene Robinson in the lead section. Removed the genre of Minogue's first four albums. Labeled "Spinning Around" as an Australian number-one single, when it was also number-one in the UK singles chart. Removed this description "She continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres". Removed Minogue's partnership with BMG Rights Management which released her albums and singles since 2018. Its not an improvement at all. As seen in this talkpage and the article history, this is not the first or third or fifth time  changed the lead section in a "drastic" way, to no improvement. In the past, they have also introduced false information which were already brought up in this talkpage. Hotwiki (talk) 16:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Can you please summarize everything you're saying in less sentences? PHShanghai &#124; they/them (talk) 00:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * To make it brief, your changes aren't an improvement to the lead section. Hotwiki (talk) 05:00, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * What is the question in this RfC? –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 16:54, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * , the RFC petitioner is requesting for comments, to change the lead section. Hotwiki (talk) 17:10, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Can I see the older version thi is being compared to? Preferably, compare it side-by-side in the header. And the question needs to be brief and neutral. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 17:31, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
