Talk:Stevie Nicks

Stupid hatnote
Nobody in the known universe is going to confuse one of the most iconic singers in popular music history with an obscure album track by a barely known band. Reeks of self-promotion. 2A02:C7F:8F1A:F700:53:B8E6:7522:7E49 (talk) 04:11, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Let's reel in the rhetoric a bit.
 * You don't think we should have the hatnote. That does not make it "stupid".
 * As a Fleetwood Mac fan for several decades who has seen them in concert several times and Nicks solo once, I'd say "one of the most iconic singers in popular music history" is an exaggeration.
 * "Self-promotion"? I guess it's possible created an account in 2008, edited for 4 years, became part of a Texas band in 2012, waited for the band's 6th album 8 years later and decided to use his 12 years of editing Wikipedia to back up the weakest possible self-promotion I can think of in 2020. Then again, it's more likely you just disagree with the hatnote.
 * IMO, per WP:HNR, "Mention other topics and articles only if there is a reasonable possibility of a reader arriving at the article either by mistake or with another topic in mind." It seems unlikely that a non-single and otherwise non-notable track from an album with no singles (does "Entertainment One Music" have A&R reps?) from a weakly notable band, it's unlikely someone came to Wikipedia looking for details on the song.
 * Additionally, the edit warring to remove the hatnote is absurd. The hatnote sat there for a month before an IP decided it was somehow "spam". They were reverted. That would be a good time to discuss the issue. Instead, the IP removed it again. Another good time to discuss the issue... FlightTime reverted again, asking for discussion. Then we got the above, and removing it again.

 * Sorry, I wasn't aware there had been edit warring about this, but I stand by my edit. Very few people are going to come to Wikipedia looking for this album track.  The album track is not of any significant notability, otherwise it would have an article of its own.  No-one is going confuse the album article with the BLP, or expect to find an article on the album track in preference to the BLP.  I don't believe the fact it sat there for a mere month to be a good reason for it being kept any longer.  I'm not going to speculate on why it was added, but the editor who added it was misguided.
 * I am, of course, happy to be reverted if anyone can put a good case why it should be there. But I doubt it, and can't image why anyone would think it needs discussed.  -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 08:55, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Mystical stage persona
What is a "mystical stage persona"? The lede says she has one, but there seems to be nothing in the article to support it. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:27, 17 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I don't think that kind of wording belongs in an encyclopedia. Besides, the cited source is from a blog on her own website. I will remove it. /VFD Very Fantastic Dude (talk) 12:56, 27 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Nicks says "muse" about Harry Styles, who in turn says Nicks supports him. The connection was found Notable there. Is this notable here, and how could it be written in this article? TGCP (talk) 21:12, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

2023 concerts with Billy Joel
Below is a quote from the tour section in the article:

"In 2023, she and Billy Joel will perform a series of concerts across the United States".

It is 2024 now, either the concerts happened or they didn't. Either way it is out of date. (Fran Bosh (talk) 21:03, 22 March 2024 (UTC))
