Talk:Rebecca Black

new pics
I just uploaded a bunch of images I took to commons from her concert on Friday night at the Bowery Ballroom. I added 2 to the article but feel free to more around or switch out for other ones.--Found5dollar (talk) 20:54, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I reverted the edit, due to the image in the infobox not showing the face or facial features conspicuously, as was the case with the previous image in the infobox. Someone not familiar with her who views the article should know clearly what she looks like if an image is presented in a highlighted part of the article, like the infobox.

Singles
I figured this would be contested, so I want to provide my reasoning: Rebecca no doubt has notable songs that she did which should be the scope of the article. Just because she did cover songs does not mean we should or have to include them. In fact, if you look up some of her albums some of the songs listed on them aren't even covered on the "singles" list here. So rather than make an empty chart with dash marks for songs that did not chart, I propose that more focus be placed on the things she is known for. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:15, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry I don't think I understand the argument you're making. The list of singles is a list of all of her singles, regardless of whether they charted, appeared on an album, or if they are covers. To remove remove those songs would be to present an incomplete picture of her full discography.Gagaluv1 (talk) 01:38, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a directory, just because it exists doesn't mean that it should be included. An incomplete discography that focuses on her known work is better than a list of songs that have no individual merit. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 05:49, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I also want to add that I have no problem with someone making an article for her studio album or extended plays. This way her lesser known songs can be covered better in context. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:58, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually per WP:REDLINKS "Red links for subjects that should have articles but do not, are not only acceptable, but needed in the articles. They serve as a clear indication of which articles are in need of creation, and encourage it. Only remove red links if you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on that subject." Are you saying that the studio album and extended play shouldn't have articles? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:09, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * While I understand that you can provide policy to back up your decisions, I still disagree with them. I know that Wikipedia is not a database and does not need to (or should) include every possible piece of information out there. If the singles section was overly long compared to the rest of the article, I could understand needing to trim it or spin off the discography as a whole, but I just don't consider it obtrusive. If it does no harm to keep them why remove them?Gagaluv1 (talk) 01:34, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Because it sets a precedent that dictates that literally anything can go into the article. It also has to do with a listing criteria hence "Criteria for inclusion should factor in encyclopedic and topical relevance, not just verifiable existence." Would you argue that we really need to include (for example) a cover song done by Black that is just covered by a YouTube video link? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:50, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Grammar edit
Under "Early Life", the sentence "Black dropped out in favor of homeschooling, citing both a need to focus on her career" doesn't need the word "both", unless I'm missing something. Steveneuestefan (talk) 14:18, 9 February 2024 (UTC)


 * ✅. If you had used the edit semi-protected template, this request might have gotten attention sooner. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:18, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
