Talk:Sandra (singer)

merge as per WP:PM
This merge had been proposed on WP:PM a long while back and there was also a little bit of discussion on Sandra (singer). Everything on page made more sense, and as there were no objections, I went ahead with the merge.

Further formatting of the page is probably needed. Also, I'm pretty sure I integrated everything from the two articles, but someone please do take a look in case somethings missing.


 * Massive section Albums needs trimming down
 * Discography needs to fixed, according to the Manual of Style
 * The External links section is huge and needs to be cleaned up

I'll get to these as I get time, in the meanwhile, happy editing - cheers!

Fair use rationale for Image:Arabesque.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Maria Magdalena Confusion
Sorry, I know this is not a forum, but... Am I the only one that tought Laura Branigan was the singer for Maria Magdalena? I was wrong all this time? I've just checked Laura Branigan's albums here in Wikipedia and found I was wrong. ViccoLizcano (Not Logged In)

Requested move
Move Parsecboy (talk) 15:11, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

"Sandra (singer)" is more correct name for this article. James Michael 1 (talk) 00:18, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree, but really you should say why, in terms of Naming conventions. Andrewa (talk) 19:20, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Try WP:QUALIFIER: "...Try to limit [a disambiguator] to a single, recognisable and highly applicable word regarding the person at hand." There are no other singers named (only) "Sandra" so just "singer" is fine.  So, support the move. —   AjaxSmack   01:09, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Support per above. Sandra (singer) already redirects here anyway. Station1 (talk) 03:29, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Sandra doesn't have an official myspace page, and the management several times corrected that the singer is not in direct contact with the fans via any myspace site. Hence I question the liability of the sentence where it says that Sandra published something in her "myspace-blog". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.153.115.140 (talk) 16:52, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

wrong lastname
Her real Name is wrong.. she was born "Ann Lauer", but she married two times and changed her last name. now she's Sandra Menges. you can look up the german article. Sandra —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.192.96.116 (talk) 18:14, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Nationality
She seems to be French, as she confirms in interwiew in German language. Her father is French, and in the sixties, there was another law situation in Germany as now, in the sixties, the children got the nationality of the father. --Holger1974 (talk) 16:33, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Hasn't she got some Asian roots? It's seen in her appearance. In 1989 my mother watched some programme about Sandra and there they said she had some Filipino origin. GinaKisyaukova (talk) 06:38, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * No, she isn't French. Her father was just born there, but that's about it.13Sundin (talk) 08:23, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Date of birth error
article gives date of birth as both 18 May 1962 and 19 May 1962. Which is correct? 77.103.121.211 (talk) 00:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
