Edit request from 184.36.81.75, 11 July 2010
editsemiprotected Please remove the city location of LaLa's parents' birth. Nuyorican is NOT a place in Puerto Rico. Nuyorican is how puerto rican people identified themselves after migrating to New York City.

 * You are right> If you take a look at the article's edit history you will realize that on July 11, 2010, User: Worc63 accidentally made the misleading change in the article. it has been fixed as it originally was. Tony the Marine (talk) 23:32, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello guys! I went ahead and further modified the sentence without consulting here.  I think the fact that it links to Nuyorican is more than sufficient for WP standards.  Plus, it encourages people to click on Nuyorican to find out who they are, which is definitely a good thing. Sound good? --Noopinonada (talk) 01:23, 13 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Definitely! It sounds good. Tony the Marine (talk) 03:59, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Something to consider for the page
She was in an unlockable video for "Sly 2: Band of Thieves" as herself...we could consider mentioning that. I would, but I don't have an account...and don't feel like making one.

Do not tell me to get an account...I don't want one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.181.238.249 (talk) 16:00, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Edit request on 1 April 2012
Please add an additional line (in the "Career" section, I guess?) to note that LaLa Anthony has established a cosmetics line called "Motives for LaLa" in January 2012. Here is a page that should qualify for verifiability and reliability: http://www.glamour.com/beauty/blogs/girls-in-the-beauty-department/2012/02/lala-vasquez-to-launch-makeup.html Below is another source which MAY also be used but it is not, to the best of my knowledge, not as accurate as the above link. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-beauty/news/la-la-anthony-is-launching-her-own-makeup-line-201251

Not meaning to promote or advertise but perhaps the following piece of information could also be included: "Motives for LaLa" is a subline of existing cosmetics line "Motives by Loren Ridinger" which is marketed exclusively by Market America (existing wiki article).

La La (entertainer) → La La Anthony – While she is commonly known as simply "La La", adding her fairly well-known surname into the title would not only follow WP:NATURAL recommendations, but would also continue to phase out the "(entertainer)" disambiguator. WikiRedactor (talk) 17:26, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I oppose the renaming in the basis that "La La" Vazquez became a notable celebrity on her own right as a host of "MTV", well before she met and married Carmelo Anthony. Her marriage surname, "Anthony" will only remain so only as long as she is married. Have we ever known Marilyn Monroe as Marilyn DiMaggio? or Elizabeth Taylor as Elizabeth Burton? of course not. Policy tells us to use the name in an article by which the person is best known as and as stated before, she became known and gained fame as "La La" and not as Mrs. "La La Anthony". Tony the Marine (talk) 23:00, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - she is known as La La Anthony now. And on cover of her book. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:41, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello I am La La Anthony..DATE OF BIRTH IS COMPLETELY WRONG
Hello everyone! Hope all is well. This is actually La La Anthony. Im writing the forum because my birthdate on wikapedia is COMPLETELY WRONG. I would like this changed immediately. I can provide OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION including my birth certificate and passport to show my actual birthdate is JUNE 25, 1983. The one reference that was cited on my page as the reference for my date of birth was even unclear as it stated sometimes my birthdate was listed as 1980. That reference even spelled my last name wrong as VASQUEZ. It is not credible. They are wrong. I'm an actress and WIKAPEDIA is the source of many people when researching me for films, tv shows, etc. I would appreciate if the info on here is correct. i have absolutely no issues with providing these official documents. if you search the web my birthdate is listed as June 25, 1979 because most places are using Wikapedia as their source. Pls help me with this. I can provide any information necessary. Thanks so much for your immediate attention to this matter. I have also emailed the oversight email address as well to bring attention to this matter. Thank you. Lalaanthony625 (talk) 05:49, 13 December 2014 (UTC)La La Anthony
 * I have removed the date of birth, since it does not agree with the cited source. We don't use primary sources such as birth ceritificates as sources. -- Diannaa (talk) 23:16, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey, cool, exactly half way around from Christmas; same birthday as my wife, but 31 years off; so she has lived twice as long, plus a few months. I have the birth certificate to prove it. Dicklyon (talk) 00:36, 14 December 2014 (UTC) {{admin help} Hi this is La La Anthony again. You guys removed my birthdate after my post because I proved it was inaccurate. I just noticed the incorrect birthdate is back posted on my page. My actual birthdate is June 25, 1983. The sources you have cited are ALL WRONG. What can i provide you guys to prove my real birthdate. I have my birth certificate, passport, drivers license, whatever you need. I need this to be corrected immediately. I thought it was all taken care of because it was removed but now the wrong birthdate is posted again. Any help would be appreciated. Lalaanthony625 (talk) 03:50, 5 January 2015 (UTC)LaLaLalaanthony625{{admin help} checking in on my birthdate being corrected?? my correct birthdate is 6/25/83. the sources you cited are completely inaccurate and wrong. please help me with this matter. i can provide official documents to prove this

March 30, 2016 edit
I'm not really a fan of Ms Anthony so I didn't add anything new. I just went through the article and added links to the Wiki articles a bunch of the stuff mentioned and also also cleaned up some minor punctuation and style issues. What I didn't do is address the lack of cites in the Career section. I'm sure the info is accurate but if someone who knows Ms Anthony and her work better could provide some cites the article would look pretty good. --MeDrewNotYou (talk) 15:34, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected
We have an anon (and some accounts) trying to change the DOB of the subject (see also posts at the Help Desk). These are claiming to be the subject (or representatives thereof) but we have no proof of that - they have been directed to OTRS. The odd thing is; It would be really useful if someone could unearth an RS from before 2005, which would negate that last point. Thoughts? Black Kite (talk) 00:21, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 * The previous set of accounts claiming to be the subject tried to change the DOB to 1983 (see above on this page)
 * This set of accounts are trying to change it to 1982
 * We have some RS for 1979 - not only the one in the article, but contemporary reports giving her age at the time which would fit 1979 (i.e. ).
 * The article was created in 2005 with the 1979 date, so all of those reports could have used that Wikipedia date. It's possible, if unlikely.

Lala Anthony's birthdate is June 25, 1983. Reference: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1043164/ 24.45.172.149 (talk) 01:33, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I want to request a correction for the date of birth of La La Anthony. Her actual date of birth is 25th June 1983, not 1979. It can be verified from her IMDb profile: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1043164/ or from her birth certificate: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fo4_Kfz0ytSZH2Y2ESyXiXxSMvnkdlkc/view?usp=sharing

Regards, Daddy 90 (talk) 13:56, 24 May 2019 (UTC)


 * This has been discussed and answered above. The best references give 1979 as the year of birth. Anyone can forge a birth certificate.  Dbfirs  14:16, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Dbfirs, the above URL also states that on April 10, 2019, the actress was of 36. And both of the reference sources not saying exactly about the real birthday you are arguing about. None of the sources says the exact date you are saying that June 25, 1979. So, I think both of your references needed to be removed and update the things as they actually are.Chahardharma (talk) 04:00, 2 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Other references state that she is 39 years old. Her publicity machine is busy pushing the 36 age.  I'd be happy to compromise on removing the year of birth since it seems to be disputed.  I've never seen the lady, not even on TV, so I've no idea whether she is approaching her 40th birthday or not, but I think it unlikely that the New York Times would get it wrong. Press releases are not WP:Reliable sources.  Db</i><i style="color: #4fc;">f</i><i style="color: #6f6;">i</i><i style="color: #4e4;">r</i><i style="color: #4a4">s</i>  07:31, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

La La Anthony Birthdate
La La Anthony's birthdate posted on her wiki page is incorrect. She was born in the year 1982 (not '79). This is common information and I have provided a source for reference: — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.172.245.127 (talk) 19:24, 6 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Most earlier reliable sources say 1979, including the New York Times which is unlikely to have copied from Wikipedia. I think we should retain the earlier year of birth and reject attempts to prevent a 40th birthday.   <i style="color: blue;">D</i><i style="color: #0cf;">b</i><i style="color: #4fc;">f</i><i style="color: #6f6;">i</i><i style="color: #4e4;">r</i><i style="color: #4a4">s</i>  19:58, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree 100% with User:Dbfirs. Some people who are public figures deny their birth year when they reach a certain age and claim that they are younger hoping that their careers will continue its path. Tony the Marine (talk) 05:25, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Age
I don't want to edit war over this, and I can understand why the subject doesn't want to be 40. Should we just allow the subject to be any age she says she is? What does anyone else think? There are sources for both years. <i style="color: blue;">D</i><i style="color: #0cf;">b</i><i style="color: #4fc;">f</i><i style="color: #6f6;">i</i><i style="color: #4e4;">r</i><i style="color: #4a4">s</i> 07:10, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
 * We cannot simply allow any age as this can be a false information for the readers. If sources for both birth-years are present then we can use the one which is she wants in this case since it is a biography of living person. --KartikeyaS343 (talk) 08:02, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I have removed the birthdate alltogether until a concensus is reached as per WP:BLPRS. --KartikeyaS343 (talk) 08:05, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
