In response to this statement "really, unsourced content from an admin?". I was merging an article that was solely about Ryan Butler (which he is clearly not an option) but, considering Butler's considerable presence around Beiber, I thought Butler might warrant a merge instead of a flat out delete (and I'm willing for the ppl who work on this page to hash that out). I suddenly had to leave and couldn't find a refernce, but I think his status at Beiber's best freind is pretty uncontested, so I figured someone would add a ref or something. In reality, I don't care, but I was trying to merge two articles when suddenly I had to run.--Esprit15d • <small>[[User_talk:Esprit15d |talk]]</small> • <small>[[Special:Contributions/Esprit15d|contribs]]</small> 13:24, 11 August 2010 (UTC) |
|||
==A few things I noticed== |
|||
I seriously noticed a few things and the way I say them may naturally come off as negative but could someone unbiased could review this and make the nescesary changes, that would be great. |
|||
1. As I look through the sources, most if not all seem very pro bieber, and the age is still widely disputed. Something about saturday night live doesn't really seem to be strong enough arms to hold such a heavy load. |
|||
2. In the discussion area, it says its in the project for RB Soul music. Its a whole bunch of teen pop bullshit, can someone actually provide a good reason for that |
|||
3. I don't know if the little shit actually is gay, but if noone can provide any different pictures where it isn't acting like it thinks it's a homosexual black rapper, the message might be taken the wrong way. |
|||
4. Gay music, Death metal, Metalcore, Homocore, Pop, R&B[2][3][4]. From left to right, I must disagree with #2,3, and 6. |
|||
5. As I laugh my ass off( seriously it'll hurt whenever I shit from now on) looking through the "Image" section, I notice some wording that could probably be changed. |
|||
6.Explanations as to why Bieber has been targeted include his success at such a young age, and ultra-trendy image; Nick Collins of The Daily Telegraph speculated that "Bieber's character also appears to strike a particularly sour note with his internet critics, with many remarks commenting on his youthful appearance, his teen-pop songs, his image as a heart-throb to young teenage girls and his manner of speech".[57] |
|||
a. Can someone explain what the fuck a heartthrob is? Some sort of lesbian crush? |
|||
b. "youthful appearance" why not just say it looks it its 12 and sounds like a 5 year old girl "manner of speech" can it just bluntly say it talks like a wigger and has a really really really really high pitched voice. If someone with no prior knowldge about bieber read this article, what would they think was being said? Manner of speech could mean it had a lisp and sounded like a crackhead duck. You cannot alter a quote, so I suggest specifying what some of it meant in a following sentence. |
|||
7. And just a few comments after reading the whole article while Im writing here. I hate Obama more knowing it let that little sound terrorist in what is most likely the most powerful single structure on Earth.

== Criticism == |
|||
How about putting a note about how many people mock him claiming he has a girly voice. Also you might want to put a note about people accussing him of being gay. and the fact that many people think he's only popular because of his looks and he has no real talent. I am not trying to vandalize the page. i dont think these are real facts, but people always say it and they should be noted as rumors people started.

In recent clips, such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylOy-1M-HGU this one] I wouldn't say low pitched but I wouldn't say high pitched either.

|||
Worth documenting I feel, due to the significant coverage making this a notable incident in Bieber's career. I propose something like: |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
In May 2010, Bieber was involved in an incident over his understanding of the word "German". He was in New Zealand and was interviewed on [[C4 (TV channel)|C4]]'s ''[[Select Live]]'' by [[Drew Neemia]] who asked him the question "Bieber is German for basketball. True or False?" Bieber seemed confused and answered "what?" Neemia repeated the question and showed Bieber the question on a card. Bieber was still puzzled, and replied "German? I don’t know what that means ... We don’t say that in America." The incident became a viral video and lead to accusations that Bieber did not know what "German" meant. Bieber replied on Twitter that he thought that Neemia had said "Jewman", refering to the New Zealander's accent. To prove his point, he linked to a clip of himself counting in German and translating his own name.<ref>{{citeweb | url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/confidential/justin-bieber-reveals-he-doesnt-know-what-german-means-in-nz-interview/story-e6frf96o-1225862579131 | title=Justin Bieber reveals he doesn't know what German means in NZ interview | publisher=''[[Herald Sun]]'' | date=May 5, 2010 | accessdate=August 17, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{citeweb | url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/celebrities/3664608/Justin-Biebers-German-gaffe-goes-viral | title=Justin Bieber's 'German' gaffe goes viral | publisher=stuff.co.nz ([[Fairfax New Zealand]]) | date=May 6, 2010 | accessdate=August 17, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{citeweb | url=http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/37023947/ns/today-entertainment/ | title=Justin Bieber addresses ‘German’ flap | publisher=[[MSNBC]] | date=May 7, 2010 | accessdate=August 17, 2010}}</ref> |

</blockquote> |
|||
{{Reflist}} |
|||
Everybody is free to edit the proposal as they please. I hope we can get consensus for its insertion. [[User:Christopher Connor|Christopher Connor]] ([[User talk:Christopher Connor|talk]]) 06:00, 17 August 2010 (UTC) |
|||
:'''Strong Oppose''' : HAH, no way. [[WP:NOTNEWS]]. "As explained in the policy introduction, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia." "While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion." This is the case here, its the same thing as adding he tweeted someones elses phone number for revenge. It made news, but its not relevant. - <font face="Malgun Gothic" color="#0099CC">[[User:L-l-CLK-l-l|(CK)Lakeshade]]</font> - <font face="Malgun Gothic" color="#0066CC">[[User talk:L-l-CLK-l-l|talk2me]]</font> - 06:05, 17 August 2010 (UTC) |

:'''Oppose:''' This is not something that I would see in an encyclopedia. If it was added, the question is, so what?

|||
:'''Oppose:''' Writers on WP (especially those who focus on current pop stars and celebs like this one) tend to forget to write with an encyclopedic view. Pretend we're writing the article from 2020. Should the article provide any details about this item? For the "incident" which is the subject of this thread, the answer's got to be no. Nobody will care, because it is unimportant. Leave this thing out, as well as the water-bottle thing, breaking news about his acne, and any similar non-durable event-lets that will come up while he is walking around and living in the limelight. <i>— [[User:JohnFromPinckney|JohnFromPinckney]] ([[User talk:JohnFromPinckney|talk]])</i> 06:56, 17 August 2010 (UTC) |

|||
:'''Weak Oppose''' I am generally an inclusionist but [[WP:UNDUE]] weight becomes an issue here if too much time is spent on the myriad reasons why the article subject has so many "haters." Most of these reasons are trivial, gossip magazine material as opposed to encyclopedic. That said, I see potential for using this material as a footnote to a section or sentence on his New Zealand tour in the main body that said NZ was one of his most frustrating stops, or something like that.[[User:Bdell555|Bdell555]] ([[User talk:Bdell555|talk]]) 20:52, 17 August 2010 (UTC) |
