Father's ancestry

So I'm curious as to why All Hallow's Wraith reworded the section on his father to make it sound like his father's ancestry was somehow in doubt. The source cited doesn't say "whose father maybe has Cherokee ancestry" and we aren't making his father's English ancestry somehow conditional. Unless there's sources contesting his father's dual heritage, we should be treating "English" and "Cherokee" the same.: His father is of English and Cherokee descent. or something like that. Certainly if there is a source that casts his father's ancestry in doubt, we should reflect that, but without said source(s), we follow what sources we have, or else we are not NPOV.

If the source citing Cherokee heritage is questionable, we should debate that source and if it's determined not to be reliable, we should leave it and its info out altogether. —Joeyconnick (talk) 02:18, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Most sources say that Charles Melton has Cherokee descent in his heritage. But what if he also has unknown traces of Ashkenazi Jewish, Italian, and white Brazilian heritage (from his ethnicity estimate results)? Lil' Jimmy Da Crinja Ninja (talk) 02:08, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

It was already revealed about a couple years ago that Charles Melton took a genetic test. Just write that his father is of English, Cherokee, remote French, Greek, Welsh, and Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, including all these following traces after English and Cherokee and simply cite it when these pieces of information are recorded.Lil' Jimmy Da Crinja Ninja (talk) 04:32, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Why is this article in the "American people who self-identify as being of Native American descent" category, yet no mention whatsoever of claimed Native American ancestry is mentioned in the actual text of the current version of this article? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 03:22, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Charles Melton on his graduation of university

I've been wondering whether or not the Kansas State University exactly confirmed Charles Melton's graduation and the degrees he earned from that college. Numerous sources have tried to claim that he dropped out of college in order to switch to acting due to concussions, but was he able to join back to his college some time to give himself the opportunity to graduate before pursuing his model & acting (sometimes including comedy, but unfortunately he wasn't able to get his role for an upcoming comedy series due to schedule conflicts for auditioning in Riverdale) career? Not only am I curious, but everyone else may have also hoped that he graduated in one college? Lil' Jimmy Da Crinja Ninja (talk) 05:14, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

• Charles Melton (actor) → Charles Melton
• Charles Melton → Deleted to make room for move

– Subject appears to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Charles Melton". The only other similarly-titled article is of a winery in Australia named Charles Melton Wines. No other articles for a "Charles Melton". Οἶδα (talk) 06:27, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

• Support Charles Melton (actor) → Charles Melton paired with Charles Melton → Deleted to make room for move. The current Charles Melton hatnote, "For other people named Charles Melton, see Charles Melton (disambiguation)." should be revised as "For the Australian winery, see Charles Melton Wines." —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:16, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

WikiProject Korea

Removed the WikiProject; unless someone's notability is strongly tied to Korea I usually don't think it falls under the WikiProject's scope. toobigtokale (talk) 00:12, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Fat shaming comments inclusion

Hello everyone, User:KyleJoan just removed a sourced section, which I added, which contained coverage of a backlash which was covered widely in the media concerning tweets Melton had made which were considered fat shamming. Opening a discussion to see if anyone opposes it's inclusion.The One I Left (talk) 21:38, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:RECENT and WP:NOTNEWS. This "controversy" began and ended within under a day. Maybe two. It certainly does not warrant its own section and especially one with this heading per WP:CRITICISM, which explains the careful and neutral way the heading must be used. This material's framing took up more than the entire "personal life" section. It's clearly undue. Which source says the "controversy" involved the general population? The source says his fans had a reaction. Justin Bieber's fans had a reaction to her marrying Hailey Bieber. The Beyhive? Swifties? We don't see any undue criticism by fans on those articles, let alone any framed as being controversial. KyleJoan^talk 04:01, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

I think the difference between Bieber and Swift's fans is that they aren't addressed in any single way by the star whereas Melton acknowledged and apologized for the comments. The derogatory comments were directed towards the general population, specifically plus size women. This isn't rumors, gossip, hearsay, conspiracy theories from fans, these are comments he made, acknowledged and later apologized for. I agree that it doesn't need it's own section of controversy. Maybe it could be reworded and put under the Personal life section since his former girlfriend Camila Mendes said that he also apologized to her as well for those comments and she made that known to the public knowledge.The One I Left (talk) 12:38, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

It definitely did not begin and end within under a day or two.

It was significant enough to end up in 'What Would You Do', with articles about the convroversy in Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Daily Mail.

And even if you were correct, several significant controversies are short lived for other reasons, e.g. what else is happening around the time of the incident. I don't believe that it fails the WP:RECENT and WP:NOTNEWS criteria. 131.111.185.41 (talk) 06:55, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
