The Sopranos
I heard she was on the Sorpanos but can no mention of that here or who she played. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.170.42.222 (talk) 21:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
GaGa vs. Gaga
There was some discussion about the correct spelling here [1], and the title has been redirected to "Gaga". However, the artist's own website uses both spellings, "GaGa" [2] and "Gaga" [3], though her record label, Interscope Records, uses "Gaga" [4]. So, could someone please write something like "Lady Gaga[5] (also: Lady GaGa[6]) is an..." in the beginning of the first paragraph? -- Frous (talk) 22:41, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- It's really not not needed, sine it pronounced in exactly the same manner. We are getting a little obsessed with a trivial issue. The probably isn't a right or wrong method of writing it. — R2 23:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- It isn't trival, the article needs that, there are so many ways of spelling it, or perhaps a consenus.Has Anybody Seen My Disco Stick? 07:46, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
- I'd support also spelled GaGa or something like that because neither way seems to be the most common. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 12:39, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Could it be lady gaga this is how she spells it on twitter, any lady gaga fan would be looking at her twitter profile-http://twitter.com/ladygaga —Preceding unsigned comment added by GagaLoveGame (talk • contribs) 07:44, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- I wouldn't necessarily derive the rule from Twitter, 'cos all words are often decapitalized there, regardless of the spelling practice elsewhere. -- Frous (talk) 15:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Looks like Reuters is using the InternalCapitalization style of "GaGa": Lady GaGa wows with big beats, bluesy surprises —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.16.68 (talk) 16:50, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
When you buy her music on iTunes it lists her as Lady GaGa. Dt128 (talk) 12:19, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
- I agree. I think we have enough support and sources calling for a move back. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 16:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- We have discussed this before, look at archive. I could go out and get alot of sources like you. We are all happy with this (most). FYI check Gaga's LoveGame video and you will see it spelled like Gaga. Are you really going to distrust what came from the horse mouth itself??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GagaLoveGame (talk • contribs) 04:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- Things can change especially when it was as weak as "the record label spells it like that", and all of the new found sources are more or less as official as the video and support GaGa. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 12:34, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

debate over vote/consenus
Any concerns please debate underneath Has Anybody Seen My Disco Stick? 07:55, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- My concern is that you don't demonstrate any awareness of how these things are decided on Wikipedia.—Kww(talk) 12:04, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- Or, more directly, "Wikipedia decisions are not made by popular vote". The discussion and evidence presented are far more compelling than a mere show of hands. —C.Fred (talk) 12:50, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes I understand all of this however, we already have evidence, I have and others have already provided it. I only want the matter to be going a clear direction, I am here to improve the artilce not make it a pile of collected information. Thst is why people will read the evidence and then decided, I will change the rules if I have to so people need to provide ot second an evidence.Has Anybody Seen My Disco Stick? 23:37, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

her gender
,Although there is strong accusations about her gender it is true she is and always has been a woman ,should the article not cover the rumours and discussion about her gender? Many people claim her to be a post op transexual or a transvestite, especially here in the UK. I have no idea about what her actual Gender is or isn't but if someone could make a mature mention of this I think it would be helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.80.225.2 (talk) 17:20, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- We deal with facts, not gossip. — R2 17:21, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
perhaps someone needs to clarify the facts then. Has she ever referred to herself as a female? is the 'lady' part of her name a knowing wink to her gender difficulties?
- Dies she look like a male, sound, act. I think she is female, this disscussion is complete gossip and false 'triva', peoples fabtasy, they want to be different. Freaks (no offence).Has Anybody Seen My Disco Stick? 03:47, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- As was said, it's gossip and that's the only thing keeping hecklers alive. She's a perfect natural girl, period! And if anyone has doubts about that, just go to perezhilton dot com and look up her pre-celebrity pictures when she was 12 or 13. Em27 (talk) 05:11, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- Agree with you 10000% Has Anybody Seen My Disco Stick? 04:29, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- I think it's beyond saying that we don't need to dignify such stupidity with a response. Unless Lady Gaga has EVER commented on the matter herself just let it die. Batvette (talk) 01:28, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Real date of birth
Which is it? 20st or 28th of March?... Se sais in this-clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZDxGXDsUps it's on the 28th and a lot of people are buying it... not to mention calling Wikipedia unreliable because of this simple thing. It might be false deliberately, out of privacy reasons... who knows! Em27 (talk) 05:55, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- Will watch video, and come back. Wiki's sources say the 20th.Has Anybody Seen My Disco Stick? 06:19, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Done, video says (she) thats its her birthday, no editing on video so I will go woth that, watch the video before anyone takes it off.Has Anybody Seen My Disco Stick? 04:36, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think the video is that conclusive. The audio is grainy enough that it's hard to tell if she says "twentieth" or "twenty-eighth",
and the source of the super text - which was edited into the video - is unknown. I'm not willing to give the super text any more credence than the channel author - a fansite -so I think Allmusic is still the more reliable source. —C.Fred (talk) 15:55, 21 March 2009 (UTC)- That's not the same video that was linked to in an earlier edit. The one Em27 links to is a longer clip with no text superimposed into the video, plus some context about playing a concert on the twenty-eighth. I think the clip supports the 28th. —C.Fred (talk) 21:10, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
it is definitely the 28th, NOT the 20th —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.141.90.64 (talk) 21:00, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed, should it be changed? Has Anybody Seen My Disco Stick? 23:53, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- More evidence her birth date should be changed to 28 March: in addition to the birthday performance at Moomba, referenced in the YouTube video, entertainment reporter/promoter Perez Hilton posted a birthday message on the 20th, then later updated it citing Wikipedia being wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.16.68 (talk) 17:49, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed, should it be changed? Has Anybody Seen My Disco Stick? 23:53, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm this video from her March 27th concert in Ottawa, they sing happy birthday and she says its her last night being 22 so I think between both of these videos, there is enough to correct her birthday in the article. Per WP:SELFPUB, her own word is more reliable than even the most reliable source. You cannot deny what she says because it's her life and she obviously knows more about it than anyone else. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 18:35, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- WP:SELFPUB would only apply if this had been published by Lady Gaga on some official Lady Gaga channel on Youtube. This is just some anonymous fan recording that may or may not have been doctored.—Kww(talk) 18:44, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well there are two videos supporting this and there is no proof that it was doctored. Why would two different people both doctor their videos to say the same thing? It does not have to be official either. If she said it in an interview or anything like that that is also legal for wiki. We can bring this up on reliable sources if you would really want to waste time. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 18:48, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
I can't believe someone is overblowing this birthday thing? Are they doing it for a laugh?!. HER BIRTHDAY is MARCH 28th. The person in the video is obviously her... and wikipedia cites ALLMUSIC.COM? How the hell is that more reliable then that video? This evdience is an audio-visual source from Lady Gaga's mouth. --Franch (talk) 21:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- Why don't you make some valid point instead of shouting? We all know very well that youtibe videos do not fall under reliable sources. Wikipeida goes for verifiability from third party sources and that too which can be reliable. Allmost all of the youtube videos badly fail copyright permissions, and as I can see that the video in discussion is not even on Gaga's youtube channel, no-wayyy can it be used in the article. --Legolas (talktome) 03:58, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- That's why there is the other one also which is not copyrighted...Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 12:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I understand. It seems this Wikipedia article likes to verify things based on technicalities rather than common sense. This is kind of the reason why I left Wikipedia two years ago... superfluously pedantic. II'll just leave it to someone else who will dig up the source eventually. --Franch (talk) 13:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- If we did not have the "technicalities" as a safeguard, Wikipedia would look very different, not for the better either. — R2 15:41, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
I was talking about this particular article. I understand about the guidelines pertaining to other subjects (in most circumstances), but Lady Gaga has confirmed her birth date through audio-visual media that just happens to be on Youtube. People are saying "youtube is not a source", youtube is not the matter, the evidence is the content. There are articles that I have witnessed in the past where details of a subject were accepted through audio-visual evidence that happened to be posted via sites like Youtube etc. Wikipedia's Verifiability article states that electronic media 'can be used'.
The technicality? It can only come from a "reliable" source despite the fact the source deemed "reliable" here cites her fake birth date, March 20 is a music review site which self-admittingly asks people to submit corrections from errors they make. The content clearly displays Lady Gaga (by common sense one can discern that it is not an imposter) saying "...and actually March 28th is my birthday" (which is probably a subtle reference to the mistake erred by Wikipedia). But whatever, enough of this dramarama. I'm out of here without my two cents. --Franch (talk) 16:59, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Not to mention that there are two different videos at different occasions where Gaga states her real bday. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 17:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- You are working this problem from the wrong direction: if you find those YouTube videos convincing, e-mail allmusic and tell them. If they agree, they will change the date on their site, and then we'll follow.—Kww(talk) 17:38, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- not only is this totally circular its absolutely insane. Kww why don't you get off your butt and do something useful like researching it yourself or get out of the way so someone else can. Being an obstructionist for the sake of obstructionism is a total waste of everyone's time and tantamount to what not only drives people away but makes the project itself suffer because instead of it having useful and accurate information people like you who want to bog everything down in circular arguments would rather have it be inaccurate.Jgeddis (talk) 09:41, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Lets get back to the discussion, get over these personal attacks and whatever else. Let's go with the most reliable source. By the way I think it's the 28.I am Rorschach (talk) 05:25, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

During the concert in Ottawa on March 27, 2009, as midnight struck fans started singing "Happy Birthday" to Gaga. She was singing the song "Future Love" on the piano and seemed overwhelmed with emotion. She got up to the crowd and said, "This show is not for me,.[..].This show is for all of you guys. I really want you to have fun and meet each other and have the time of your life."[7] Lady Gaga's birthday IS MARCH 28!!! Why do people keep denying it?! It says on Perez Hilton's website, her fans sang her "Happy Birthday" on March 28, and Lady Gaga said so herself on YouTube! Why won't you change her birth-date already?!Cinnamontl (talk) 04:21, 12 April 2009 (UTC) Cinnamontl
Seriously people... those were some lame arguments! I posted a video, clearly different from the one cited in the edits, and clearly it was her and you start all of this for what? Youtube? Good thing that after 10 edits and reverts the date was changed. Em27 (talk) 19:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Lady Gaga fan of British culture
Recently I have come across many interviews etc with Lady Gaga where she has expressed her love for the British accent, men and culture in general. I believe this would be an important addition to the article as she herself has stated that English singer Amy winehouse paved the way fro her success, and she has been inspired by Queen and David Bowie, she has also called her British fans cool and innovative in the way they think about pop music and culture, a possbible entry such as the one below in my opinion will be a good addition to the article (although I understand if some of it was to be reworded or shortened down):
- Lady GaGa has consistently shown her liking for the United Kingdom and in general her love of British people and culture on many occasions. Her stage name was 'inspired by the English rock band Queen's 1980's hit Radio Ga Ga and Gaga herself has also stated that she couldn't have made it to where she is today without the London singer Amy Winehouse paving the way for the acceptance of quirky and unique singers such as herself into mainstream society, she has also refered to singer David Bowie as an inspirational figure.[1] Gaga has also expressed her love for the British accent (one one occasion calling it borderline pretentious) as well as having refered to British men as "smart" and "cool" (one notable example is her comments about Prince Harry).[2] After the announcement that her debut single Just Dance had reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart, Lady Gaga reportedly broke down in tears saying it had been a life long dream of hers to have a big hit in the country and her British fans are "so sexy and the people are so innovative and free in how they think about pop culture and music".[3] The British public similarly has taken a liking to Lady Gaga, her first two singles ("Just Dance" and "Poker Face") have both reached the top spot in the UK, even her songs "LoveGame", "Paparazzi" and "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich" have charted even though many are yet to even recieve a release date.

Transmission Gagavision
I don't know if any of you are aware but each week Gaga puts an episode online "Transmission Gagavision" and it outlines what she got up to that week. Should it be included. I know the answer will be "no" but i'm asking just incase someone agrees.
Child Funk (talk) 08:00, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
- Did you find anything encyclopedic in those videos like, development of music videos, or song backgrounds, or the Fame Ball tour infos? If so we can include them in respective articles. Those videos won't be a copyright problem since they are published at the artist's own web page. --Legolas (talktome) 08:32, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm no good at judging as to what is encyclopedic and what is not. I'd suggest that you go onto youtube and watch some episodes as you have a better knowledge in comparisson to myself. The most recent one is here (which I didn't find to be all that informative) Oh and yes, its from Gaga's official Youtube channel! Child Funk (talk) 05:08, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
I have watched all of them and some of them are just her talking about crap, but some are about the tour. She talks about sets, music videos, interviews, etc IT SHOULD BE IN THE ARTICLE --RCNARANJA 19:59, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

read pls
okay okay so i know this has been the biggest issue of the article and FINALLY we have agreed she is Lady Gaga and sometimes she spells it Gaga and sometimes she spells it GaGa, BUT i think that "The latter part of the name is variably spelled either GaGa[10] or Gaga." is quite possibly the worst way it could be said. keep it simple stupid!--oRange 22:59, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

- See below section. --Legolas (talktome) 04:06, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
I think her EP should be put in. She beatboxes and does a capella songs. It's a big step for an artist to do something like that. I think it is notable because it says it on her website www.ladygaga.com and on her record label's website. Why isn't it?--RCNARANJA 19:58, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
- Take your time to read this source. The link is from the official site of Lady Gaga herself, therefore it complys with WP:RS. It includes the release date, format/edition(s), label, tracklisting and an extra tad of factual information regarding the EP. I think we could possibly take this into further consideration don't you think? childfunkchat 04:09, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

LoL I know this is totaly not to the cell phone but i hear lady gaga saying Cherry Cherry Boom Boom what does it means!!is it her (word) like akon has convict??!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.235.73.10 (talk) 13:07, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- Kind of, but Cherry Cherry Boom Boom is the producer who made the song. If she produces a song or collaborates with another artist, she'll say "GaGa". Like how in Just Dance, she says "Red One" (a producer), then Akon says "Konvict" (he produces music), and she finishes with "GaGa" (GaGa also produces music). 71.210.100.97 (talk) 03:28, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Gender and Sexuality
The article should also say how she isn't a transsexual, I know its not supposed to be gossip but someone needs to clear up the rumors, there are pictures of her on PerezHilton.com of when she was younger. Also it should address her sexuality, in an interview with Fab Magazine she stated she was "bi" but then took it back because people weren't open to it she was also seen kissing a girl in the LoveGame music video. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.91.223.175 (talk) 19:27, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- Her sexuality only needs discussion if it has a notable impact to her biography. Gossip and kissing a few girls is hardly important. Don't most girls kiss other girls these days? Sure seems like it. — R2 19:49, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- Haha, hilarious. Irrelevant, for now. Who knows what will come up in the future. --RCNARANJA 19:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Yes but she frequently gets critized and bagged on accusations of being a transsexual and it raises a significant amount of controversy over it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.91.223.175 (talk) 19:55, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- What sources do you have that prove it's a "significant controversy"? A few web blogs written by a few spotty teenagers is hardly noteworthy. Additionally, per WP:BLP we should not add to the embarrassment these lies might be causing her. We have a duty to respect her human dignity. — R2 19:59, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
It would much rather be helpful for who those who believe she is, to search the web and find the article to discover that she isn't trans gendered which is respecting her dignity and supporting her against ignorant people who might believe the rumors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.91.223.175 (talk) 04:02, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Or, you know, they could just check the Wikipedia, and when they read that she was born as Stefani and find no mention of a sex change, they might be led to assume that those rumours are false, despite explicit confirmation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.188.159.10 (talk) 20:53, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Live Performances & Appearances
I think all the live Performances are talked about much too broadly and need to be described a tad bit more vividly, the Pet Shop Boys one was definatley significant as well as Ellen and Dome 49. You could also use a few more pictures. You might also like to add all the appearances she's made not just in performing but on TV,publications, Transmission Gagavision. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.91.223.175 (talk) 04:19, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Updates
The article needs to be updated Gaga is everywhere now-a-days and the pictures need to change she has gotten a new look since those long extensions, her Fashion needs to be extended because a lot of people have been seen sporting her "look" and a lot of fashion magazines have put attention to it , and she has made several public appearances in magazines, television, etc. that this article just touches on instead of going into moderate detail.

I have put the sources here as a user instructed too (I liked the days when you could just stuff on this articles).

- The only sources presented that meet WP:RS are MTV and Interscope (that's good enough to get it into the article). We still need to consider whether it's notable or pure recentism. With regard to 2009 info, it can just follow down the 2008-present section. We don't have to have a section for each year. — R2 22:42, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Early Life
A lot of this reads like a press release. Especially this:
"Finding herself surrounded by singers who all wrote the same style of music, she decided to do something fresh and provocative in the rock 'n roll underground: pop music."

Gaga's Image
Does anyone think there should be a bit in the Public Image and Media section about certain objects that she uses to promote certain things, for example, her disco stick, the tv glasses that say "Pop Music will never be low brow", and more recently a purple tea cup whilst she's been in the UK.
On the Gwen Stefani page it mentions certain things she used to promote herself during the Sweet Escape era, such as the "G" necklace. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.24.189 (talk) 10:40, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

philanthropy
There should be neutral third party sources covering these events. I believe citing ebay as a source is a conflict of interest as they have a vested interest in promoting the artist.

- The gentalia part is true (but won't go on the aricle), Cherry Cherry Boom Boom is a slogan (a way of knowing) one of her producers Martin Kierszenbaum (his nickname) (he also has other slogans), it is most notable in Eh Eh and Chritsmas Tree also the Fame and I Like It Rough, starstruck but are barebly heard at the begining due to it been electronic and soft.

Comments about bisexuality
The "quote" where Lady GaGa talks about the meaning of Poker Face is incorrect. In the interview she says, "The song 'Poker face,' it's about 'poker facing' with your sexuality. When I was making love to my old boyfriend, I used to think about women sometimes." Perhaps it would be better to use a more reliable article as a reference, not one that cant spell "fantasizing" correctly (which wasn't even said in the first place.
Reference: Jonathan Ross interview with Lady GaGa. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJsJW_W1BTI> 66.112.113.226 (talk) 07:52, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- She's obviously done more than one interview on the subject with a number on different sources. To say the two sources being used are incorrect is false. Also we don't use Youtube as a source, only print media. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 08:34, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- If someone adds this, a suggestion would be to go to The Advocate to get the full particulars on this. They had this as a lead story on the news page and I believe it will be included in the next issue. I believe they are the ones she talked to first about the meaning of "Poker Face". This is just a suggestion if someone wants to add this information and wants to get their sources correct first. Hope that helps. (MoovieStarz (talk) 22:28, 2 May 2009 (UTC))
Current image edit war
Policy states that fair-use images should not replace free images, and at the moment, the current free image is being replaced by a fair-use one, despite messages being left on Mdw2009's talk page asking him not to change the image to a non-free one; in addition, attempts to restore the free image have been reverted as though they were vandalism, which they were not. I'm bringing this here for better input. Thanks. Acalamari 18:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
We're overlooking the elephant in the room with the image that Mdw2009 keeps adding. Compare the two images. Unless I'm blind, not only is the new image not Lady Gaga, It's a man dressed as Lady Gaga. This isn't a WP:NONFREE violation, it's a WP:BLP violation.--Cube lurker (talk) 18:48, 28 April 2009 (UTC)- The image added by Mdw2009 is definitely Lady Gaga. At this stage the editor is on a slippery slope to a block. — R2 18:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- This is one of those cases where you just have to be firm. The other image is not free and therefore cannot be there whether there is an edit war or not. It looks like she's just making a strange face, I don't know if its a guy or not. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 18:55, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Oops. Ok, I've seen the video and I guess you're right it's her. But I'll be damned if they didn't find a shot that makes her look like she has a 5 o'clock shadow. Deepest apologies.--Cube lurker (talk) 23:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Beats by Dr.Dre
In most of her short films, music videos, and other promotions. She advertises Dre Headphones and I think she might have some sort of deal with them but I'm not 100% sure but it's something that should probably be looked into. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.91.223.175 (talk) 01:13, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, Dr Dre headphones are quited as the best--the big puffy ones cost around 400 USD on ebay. They appear in all of Gaga's video. They also appear in PCD bottle pop, Soulja boy ft, Sammie kiss me thru the phone, etc.. They are promoted in almost every music video. Other easter egges are a yello watch in eh eh and lovegame and the great danes in The fame part one, and every other video except for just danceCloverfield Monsta (talk) 04:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't the Haus Danes and whatever kind of watch as well as the headphones be included in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.91.223.175 (talk) 19:32, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Songwriter
"She began her career as a songwriter for some of pop music's biggest stars" - but none of the her songs is mentioned ... --Tbone (talk) 03:58, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- Those songs were not that big to be worthy of mention. She did write songs, but most of them became album cuts. Details can be found at the discography page. --Legolas (talk2me) 04:01, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Quotes from source
I am seeking to input some quotes by Lady Gaga into the article however, I am still unsure as to how they shall be formatted.
The information in which I wish to intergrate into the article is from this source!
The quotes are basically about what she thinks of herself as an artist, writing music and how she got to where she is today.
I do not wish to include all of them but mostly the ones of which are most appealing and biographically appropriate!

- IMDB is generally not an appropriate source for a BLP and I believe the article contains enough information on Gagy talking about herself. — R2 09:08, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- You can start adding them in Wikiquote. Its a repository for quotes like picures is for Wikimedia. PS, its Gaga not Gagy. :):) --Legolas (talk2me) 09:10, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- That's fine. Better not to include it then however, I will raise a concern that the IMDB link is currently in use to describe Gaga's height and the where abouts of her 3 tattoos in the article. If this source fails WP:BLP, then wouldn't it be best for that source along with the sentace to be removed? childfunkchat 07:06, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Fashion:Negative
Recently Gaga has been critized for her fashion often mixed sometimes postive and the negative. Here are some sources of negative and are usually about her crazers and no pants. I can get more sources but my question is it worth putting on the article???Sources-http://www.pr-inside.com/lady-gaga-ordered-to-take-august-r1218580.htm and http://www.pr-inside.com/lady-gaga-ordered-to-take-august-r1218580.htm Cloverfield Monsta (talk) 04:41, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I think those sources fail to meet Wikipedia:BLP#Criticism and praise and lack notability.
By the way, they have no relations as to her fashion.
The source states that she had been overworked promoting her album, The Fame and needs to take a rest.
childfunkchat 07:18, 30 April 2009 (UTC)- ok, I will rephrase do you think a negative section is needed about fashion. Cloverfield Monsta (talk) 05:48, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
- If the source complys with WP:RS, is notable and does not overwhelm or appear to take sides in a bias like manner, then yes of course you may include it! However, remember to reffer back to WP:BLP#Criticism and praise from time to time again. childfunkchat 08:49, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Picture used at top of page of Lady Gaga
No offense, but that picture just needs changed, you can't see her face well, and she just doesn't look right. She is an attractive woman, and that picture just doesn't really show her beauty. Can we get a new one? JDC808 (talk) 04:21, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Myspace, etc. external links
According to Wikipedia:LINKSTOAVOID, official Myspace pages are allowed as external links. Before you try to tell me that bullet number 10 says no Myspace, etc, please note the bolded sentence before the numbered list which reads "Except for a link to an official page of the article's subject—and not prohibited by restrictions on linking—one should avoid:". Therefore bullet number 10 excluding Myspace does not apply since it is official. It is an exception. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 04:06, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- I'm afraid its not. We have to keep in mind the BLP we are dealing with and avoid social networking sites. Is there any proof that the artist allows the link to be used in the article? No. Definitely not. WP cannot be subjected to copyright infringement and have to respect privacies in this case. Adding social networking links like Myspace, Twitter etc increases that risk, and we better not adhere to such a thing. --Legolas (talk2me) 04:14, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- The guidelines are clear and it's allowed. As an official site of the artist, it is there for people to read and interact with. BLP is irrelevant since as an official page, it is endorsed by the artist just like her main website. What exactly would be copyrighted? It's a link. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 04:16, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- Social networking sites are not official sites of artists and fails as RS. Any interaction with the social sites doesnot in any way enhance any upcoming knowledge. Its the official sites which are referenced for their announcements. Hence adding these fails CRYSTAL and as said before, while dealing with BLPs respect the privacy. This much you can do I guess. --Legolas (talk2me) 04:20, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- We are not using it as a source. It is the official myspace of her meaning its official just as her website is. External links are places to find additional information. So when would be a good time to use it, since we are clearly allowed to? You claim we can't because of BLP, but myspaces are for people, so every use is for a BLP and obviously the consensus which developed that guideline knew this. Crystal??? Are you just throwing every guideline you know out there? Once again, it's a link, nothing is being added to the article that violates crystal ball. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 04:25, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- Again no, since you are saying that it is only a link. Hence deosnot add anything to the article. Adding social networking links will only increase the article space and the EL section. Hence there will never be a good time to use it. --Legolas (talk2me) 04:29, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- That is not a good reason for its omission. It is allowed by wikipedia guidelines and I'm sure one more link in the external links section will not make the article too long. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 04:31, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

- This seems like a case of WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT if I've ever seen one. As an official site, her myspace page has just as much a right to be there as any of the other external link. Your opinion on the how useful readers will find it is not a reason to omit it. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 04:41, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

- I agree with both of you. 1) it is her official MySpace which is within wkipedia guidelines, however, 2) it is not as useful to the reader as her primary website. I disagree with including simply because it is an official page, since we would be adding her official YouTube, Facebook, and twitter (eventually) for the same reason. Why bother, when one official page can provide an equal amount of information as five? What particularly grinds my gears is how much time is wasted trying to prove the merit of social networking sites when all this time and energy could be spent improving the article to GA or FA by actually working on the biography itself.

- I agree with Book. I know GA won't allow any networking links in the EL. Since we all are pushing the article for GA, its best to avoid such things. Anyways as I said before, deosnot add anything. --Legolas (talk2me) 05:06, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- GA has to allow the links because the external link policy allows them; GA guidelines can't contradict those of wikipedia as a whole. Different people have different ways of retrieving information and if some like to get it from myspace instead of her website then so be it. You have no right to say people will not find it useful without any proof to back up your assumption. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 14:49, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

- I already said that is an irrelevant argument. It's her official site. If she didn't want it used anywhere, she wouldn't have one. Even if she didn't, there wouldn't be any copyright infringement since it is a link and no privacy violations because it is her official site created for the reason that people can see it. Unless someone has a substantial relevant argument that voids the wikipedia external links guideline, then there is no reason to not have this one link. Did anyone read the external links policy by any chance? It says right before the numbered list, in bold, that any official site of the subject may be used as an external link and it does not mention anything about it not being able to be a social networking website.

[7] since her MySpace is linked officially on her website for people to click and check out I don't see what the big deal about it is she obviously doesn't mind people accessing it, it has no Copyright violations that I know of, the only way I'd see it not being added would be if it was set to private which it isn't.

Influences mentioned in the intro
"Gaga has been influenced by glam rockers such as David Bowie and Queen as well as '80s pop singers such as Madonna, Morrissey and Michael Jackson." - Bowie and Queen are explained in more detail and sourced further down in the article, but the last three are not mentioned or sourced anywhere that I can find. Anyone know where these three names came from and if their influence can be sourced/verified from some WP:RS and maybe expanded/explained? Siawase (talk) 12:00, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

- Agreed. Perhaps the MOST influential like Madonna and MJ. Cloverfield Monsta (talk) 02:20, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, but how can we know that the most influential in her career were Madonna and Jackson? Only if she once said that. Sparks Fly 02:25, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- Those were examples. We need to check her myspace, website bio to find these things out. Cloverfield Monsta (talk) 05:24, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- "how can we know that the most influential in her career were Madonna and Jackson?" I'd say the same way we "know" anything on wikipedia: find the most WP:Reliable sources and go by what they say. If Rolling Stone has said anything, i think that would be particularly useful here. What R2 says about it growing into a laundry list is a concern, but by following reliable sources and WP:WEIGHT it should be manageable.
- But it seems there is no obvious source for all three names. Madonna/Michael Jackson are not far-fetched, but the Morrissey mention surprised me enough that I tried to look for a source, which is why I posted. After some googling I found that Gaga did mention him once:[8] (at 4:55 in the video) but if that's all, it might not be enough weight to include in the article. Siawase (talk) 12:01, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- OK, but let's see: if Rolling Stone puts one, Allmusic puts other, BBC News also puts otherwise, should all be included?
- About Jackson and Madonna influences, there is the Allmusic source which is the only that states the influence them, however, one of most trustful sources. And about the Morrissey influence; if your source is really a video, it could not be included, since Wikipedia does not accept videos as sources. Sparks Fly 16:12, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

(Outdent)I don't see any problem in including allmusic. The concern for the endless list will be serious when every influnce is backed up by a RS. But at present I see David Bowie, Queen and Madge properly cited (if we use allmusic) hence no problem in including three influences. --Legolas (talk2me) 05:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

On their artist page [9] Rolling Stone mentions Madonna, Queen and Bowie, along with a few other names not mentioned by other sources. They do not include Michael Jackson. If we wanted to, rather than build a laundry list of every name mentioned, we could use several sources to exclude names, by only including those mentioned in multiple reliable sources.

Tours
Her tours including PCD, etc. should be added somewere on this or any Gaga article. Cloverfield Monsta (talk) 05:59, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- NKOTB and Fame Ball are already mentioned. Only the PCD needs to be mentioned. --Legolas (talk2me) 08:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- It is already in the article Legolas,
The Fame peaked at number one in Austria, Canada and Ireland and four in Australia.[29][30] Afterward "Haus of Gaga" turned their focus further upon the American market with Gaga going on her first ever concert tour with fellow Interscope pop group, the reformed New Kids on the Block. Gaga started her stint with New Kids on the Block in Los Angeles on October 8, and continued through the end of November.[31] She appeared as a featured guest on the song "Big Girl Now" from their new album, The Block.[32] In late October, Gaga released The Fame in the US, where it debuted at number seventeen on the Billboard 200, with first week sales of 24,000 units,[33] and has thus far peaked at number four.[34] On December 5, 2008, Gaga was added to the BBC Sound of 2009 longlist, which features the best rising music stars.[35] Gaga was confirmed as the support act for Pussycat Dolls on their Europe and Oceania arena dates from January until May 2009. The tour started in Aberdeen, Scotland on January 18, and ends in Perth, Australia on May 30.[36]

Inspiration
Should we mention that GaGa has no inspiration (she says so here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IHOc_dXt1s .....around the 7:45 mark) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.107.87.131 (talk) 17:33, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
