General Notes for Virgil Abloh
I though I'd add some general notes about this article to help eventually guide it to Good Article status. LivinRealGüd (talk) 13:28, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Item 1: This is an article about Virgil Abloh not the companies he's founded or worked for, keep it on topic and avoid saying things like "Company A did this" when it doesn't directly relate to Abloh.
 * Item 2: A whole lotta' editorializing keeps popping up in this article. This makes sense, the only people editing this article are editors interested in fashion and as such have come to know a world of very specific phraseology e.g. opinion editorialization. This article should present information in a neutral and properly-sourced way.

Article Revision:
The article is currently under construction by a group of scholarly editors.

The changes being made are:

- Adding extra facts towards his Fashion Career section

- Creating an Art section, covering his accomplishments within Art (We believed that Virgil's contributions towards Art were significant enough to have its own section to not interfere with his fashion career)

- Expanding on his awards and honors section

- revising lead section based off these contributions — Preceding unsigned comment added by LeeSwae11 (talk • contribs) 07:36, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Controversy Section
It might be worthwhile to add a controversies section to this article. Here are a few reliable sources about current controversies: New York Times source, Guardian source. Rougetimelord (talk) 23:01, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Per WP:CRITS such a separate section should be avoided, and if material is warranted it should be worked into other sections not a stand alone section. -- Alanscottwalker (talk) 21:19, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I added information about this a few days ago. Brad (talk) 21:39, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Good, it needs to covered using reliable sources which wasn't happening when the IPs were pushing content into this page. Pikavoom (talk) 05:42, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Marriage
The spousal part shouldn't have been edited to end in 2021. Marriage ends only with divorce not with death. Even if it changes one day on the wife's part, it shouldn't on his 2003:D6:B727:33A8:999D:FCB7:6558:9448 (talk) 15:42, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

In the Awards and honors section, please change "In December 2018, Abloh was honored as a leading innovator by Ebony Power 100 alongside SHAVONE." to "In December 2018, Abloh was honored as a leading innovator by Ebony Power 100." Out of all of the honorees in the 2018 Ebony Power 100, there's no need to single out one other name out of the prolific 98 others who were also honored that night.
