Talk:Solange Knowles

Painting
Hey, I think that a section should be added about her love for art and painting. She has mentioned through various outlets that she plans on having artshows. She oil paints and she said one of her inspirations is Basquiat. Dee   [03:48, July 2, 2007 71.71.212.15]

The painting section which formerly said "Aside from music, Knowles paints as a hobby: "I think that painting, for me, is such an affirmative expression in that sometimes you don't know what the outcome is gonna be and each stroke and each brush for me is an emotion and, in the end, it comes out as a piece which is the most amazing thing. ... It definitely provides a different outlet." " has been removed due to it being deemed not notable by someone else. If she ever decides to do any art shows, I'll add it back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:2A40:3E40:F41C:1DAF:B5DD:534D (talk) 06:16, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Pretty Good
Why does searching for pretty good redirect to this page?? Surely redirecting to Larry David would make more sense? —Preceding unsigned comment added by D4tis (talk • contribs) 10:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Unsourced
She is currently working with a Private Equity firm to help finance special projects in distribution, promotions and marketing music with Music World Entertainment and Geffen. The Private Equity firm is focusing on buying and selling music licensing rights to the movie industry and consumer products like Coca-Cola, Alcohol beverages and Proctor & Gamble Company products. The music for commercials will be the first deal of its kind for a female R&B singer.

Still finding a reliable source for this. If you have, please add this back with the source. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 07:34, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Notable. It gave her very bad press and did make her look like an idiot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.0.15 (talk) 11:26, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


 * If you mean this episode, you'd have to provide some WP:RS that described it and said it had some significant impact on her career. Otherwise, it's just celeb mag fodder.  Wasted Time R (talk) 00:58, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Appearence in Goldmember
The Knowles sisters appeared in "Austin Powers in Goldmember", and all three appear on the soundtrack. I can verify this. Could somebody add this in? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.247.244.120 (talk) 16:36, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to be much praise
Basically, "she was pretty, but that's it." --149.4.115.3 (talk) 22:46, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Although the reviews were generally negative, Knowles earned praise from Variety magazine: "Solange Knowles is nearly as dazzling as big sister Beyoncé and does little more than smile winningly in her first bigscreen outing."

Doesn't make sense
This phrase doesn't make sense "Her father and mother are African American Creole is not a race, descent, or ethnicity." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.173.113.24 (talk) 04:09, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Filmography
The column headings in her filmography table seem a little odd.... 82.5.68.95 (talk) 01:23, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Date of birth
Need someone to verify and provide a reliable source for Knowles' birth date. An editor with a history of introducing factual errors has changed the year, and I was unable to verify the fact due to a dead link at the cited source. This means that her birth date is now unsourced and subject to removal. Elizium23 (talk) 22:12, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

"Knowles appeared as a nubile teenager" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.16.176 (talk) 05:40, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

competition between Solange and Beyonce
Maybe there is no competition because Solange isn't nowhere near as successful as her sister. Beyonce's least successful studio album is Destiny's Child, the group's first album from 1998, which has sold two times more than Solange's two albums together. And Solange is practically unknown outside the US; as a singer at least. 85.217.23.230 (talk) 23:27, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Requested move 1 July 2017

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: ❌ (page mover closure)  Dr Strauss   talk   16:21, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Solange Knowles → Solange (singer) – I am surprised that there has not been a move request for this article. My main reasons are per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:MONONYM. From the beginning of her music career, she has been known as only Solange, not Solange Knowles. Looking under all of the music she put out proves my point. It took her sister Beyoncé's article nine move requests to get it to its proper title, so I'm hoping that you can see where my argument is coming from. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:3C26:246D:820:6640 (talk) 14:38, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:NATURALDIS, among other arguments. Also, there is plenty of press and media coverage that refers to her as "Solange Knowles" so it may (arguably) be the WP:COMMONNAME as well. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 05:22, 3 July 2017 (UTC)


 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

True
True is part of her discography, why does it keep getting removed? NayruLink (talk) 11:55, 20 August 2017 (UTC)


 * This is because it is an EP, if there is a discography page for the artist, we generally only list the main albums. Not singles and EPs. Karst (talk) 12:13, 20 August 2017 (UTC)


 * EPs are important too you know. They're basically short albums. True really should be included! NayruLink (talk) 14:28, 20 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes they are. That is not the point. The artist has a discography page. For that reason we only list the main albums. Not the singles, compilations, EPs or live albums. It would be duplication. If you look at the Beyonce page, you will see that none of the 5 EPs are listed there either. Karst (talk) 16:06, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

None of Beyoncé's EPs equal an album of it's own, they either serve a promotional purpose or are remix collections. True however is a CD of its own with all new songs and even has singles. And by the way I don't get why True is considered an EP. According to Wikipedia, an EP is a CD with up to four songs or a running time of up to 20 minutes. In both cases, True has more. So why is it considered an EP? NayruLink (talk) 23:05, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

I was wrong, it's 25 minutes for an EP. But still True has more. NayruLink (talk) 23:07, 22 August 2017 (UTC)


 * It is about the sources. Allmusic and others all consider it an EP. And by definition it is. I appreciate that you see it as an important release (and it is). Perhaps focus on expanding the section in the text where it is mentioned, using the sources. Karst (talk) 05:55, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

KRAFTWERK concert and racism

Last name now Ferguson
As can be seen on the page about Solange's Metatronia exhibit, she is using her husband's last name instead of her maiden name as a dance/sculpture artist. (Still mononymous as a musician, I assume, but we'll see soon at her next album release!) Should the intro (or somewhere, anywhere?) be edited to reflect this? — Alousybum (talk) 04:48, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Thewriter006 (talk) 15:26, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Solange appeared on the Tyra Banks show in 2008 and said the whole story of getting diagnosed twice was a joke she said because she felt a reporter was being sarcastic with her during a prior interview. She told Tyra something like, "I say it like this (*puts on straight face*) and they can't tell I'm joking." This single quote has been duplicated on other sites through the years, but she herself has never discussed the topic beyond that 2008 interview. 2600:1702:2A40:3E40:F41C:1DAF:B5DD:534D (talk) 05:57, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
