Talk:Remo Fernandes

Remo Fernandes... and his Goa connections
While Remo Fernandes may now be seen as an Indian pop star, much of his career has been linked to Goa. In this context, it is not irrelevant to add details about the bands he played with in his younger days, and the fact that he invited the entire Goa (through newspaper adverts too) when he had a public celebration of his 50th birthday, in the form of a public concern. fredericknoronha 21:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello... I did add details about his early bands... I just felt that there is not enough reference material on the band Indiana so I don't know how important it is. I did create a entry on Ihe Savages and hoping a seperate page would be created about them. Same goes for Microwave Papdums. If there is any extra details about these 2 bands plese add them to their respective location. --h y dka t

Plan to remove/remake the controversy section
If I don't find any references to a controversy surrounding remo fernandes... I plan to remove that section. --h y dka t 12:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Remember that the word "meri munni" in Estonian language means "sea to dick", "sea to male sex organ". Estonia is a little country/state in North Europa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.50.52.153 (talk) 11:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Rendering of name into Konkani
The Devanagari rendering of the name doesn't sound very accurate to me. fredericknoronha (talk) 18:27, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

hi Banner talk

the Edit i did on Remo Fernandes i noticed his birth is recorded twice so i edited. and he is a Goan what was wrong there or ..... Decan.reporter (talk) 16:54, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Citizenship description
Portuguese nationality law means that Remo was a Portuguese citizen from his birth in May 1953 (Goa was not part of India till 19 December 1961), and his current reversion to Portuguese citizenship wasn't by naturalization process. You can't describe him as an Indian singer because India doesn't allow dual nationality, and also WP: ETHNICITY. The previous description before the vandalism by User:Gotitbro followed the same system as for Tina Turner. 42.107.84.59 (talk) 16:03, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Unless you are looking for a ban with your IP-hopping personal attacks labelling any evert of your contentious edits as vandalism, I'd recommend you stop it. Your restrictive definition of Indian by citing a single-use case of a pop-singer isn't helpful either (we also have J. B. S. Haldane and Albert Einstein among numerous other examples), each case is decided on its own merits. That the person here has carried Portuguese nationality since birth is your WP:SYNTH analysis which is not going to fly. Even the sources cited mark out-his earliest acquirement-case at 1993 clearly forgoing your claims here. The complete abjurement of Indian from the lead is clearly contentious as the article was long stable with that before your numerous IPs thought the better. Gotitbro (talk) 16:13, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This is not to say a better use-case can't be reached here, such as "Indo-Portuguese", "India[n]-born Portuguese", "India[n]-born naturalised Portuguese", but "Goa-born", "Goan" etc.is not going to pass when listing nationality as such. please take a look and give a second opinion here-in. Gotitbro (talk) 16:23, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, . Looking at the sources, it looks like Fernandes acquired Portuguese citizenship at some point, so description as naturalised Portuguese seems valid. To avoid the confusion over being Indian or Indian-born, I would suggest writing "is a singer and musician from India with naturalized Portuguese citizenship." -- Ab207 (talk) 17:18, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * That appears fine to me, as an uninvolved editor it would be great if you can apply this. Gotitbro (talk) 17:31, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * , done. -- Ab207 (talk) 17:36, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
