Pet store purchase

I think we should include that she purchased a purebred Cavalier King Charles spaniel from a NYC pet store in Sept. of 2017. By doing this she supported the puppy mill industry. Three articles have been written bout her pet store puppy purchase. Why can't we include it? It is interesting for fans, dog enthusiasts, and animal welfare advocates. Thanks Settherecord (talk) 03:56, 18 September 2017 ‎(UTC)

@Settherecord: As several editors have already explained to you as you edit-warred over this and other content here, this is completely inconsequential, trivial, and unrelated to the reasons for her notability. Among other guidance, see WP:NOTADIARY and WP:10YT. General Ization ^Talk 03:58, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Also, your own source states that "It has not been confirmed where the pet store Selena's puppy is from gets its animals", which means that your statement that Gomez "supports the puppy mill industry" is unsourced WP:OR and not permitted here. General Ization ^Talk 04:04, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

I think we should add that Gomez purchased a puppy from a NYC pet store in September. Three articles were written about the subject. People were upset because pet store puppies come from puppy mills. These days most people adopt from a shelter or buy directly from a reputable breeder. Her article is so lengthy and detailed that I think this information belongs. I tried to add the information but another editor removed it. Can we reach an agreement on this? Settherecord (talk) 02:01, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Far too trivial, she went to a store and bought something legal. We are not a diary of her normal life. The fact that some people are upset at what she legally purchased says more about them and nothing about her. Geraldo Perez (talk) 02:07, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

See above. General Ization ^Talk 02:23, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Settherecord, we have reached an agreement, which is not to include it. So drop the stick and move on. Sundayclose (talk) 02:30, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

But a sentence about a fragrance she released in 2013 should totally be included right?? We don't want to mention anything bad about her in her article, it's all roses and sunshine. Check out the Rolling Stone article on puppy mills and get back to me.I'm probably arguing with her PR peeps so what's the point. SMH http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/the-dog-factory-inside-the-sickening-world-of-puppy-mills-w457673 Settherecord (talk) 04:55, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Your issue is with how dogs are raised for sale, not with her. That is classic WP:COATRACK using one article to talk about something else. There is an article at puppy mill that talks to the issue. Work on improving that article, this one is not the place. Geraldo Perez (talk) 05:04, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

As for fragrances, that's a separate issue because it's a product she developed and/or distributed. We're able to mention negative details with appropriate balance as per WP:Neutral point of view. Leaving puppy details out doesn't at all mean the article is trying to be all positive. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:08, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Settherecord, you are the only editor who continues to push this over and over with the same argument. You will not get anything in an article by repeatedly bashing us over the head with the issue. It's time to drop the stick or you can be blocked for disruptive editing. Move on. Consider this a final warning. Sundayclose (talk) 14:30, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

But the fact that she helped out dogs in Puerto Rico is included.If you can include this include that she purchased a dog from a pet store in NYC! Let's tell the whole story. Selena became the ambassador of DoSomething.org after being involved with the charity Island Dog, which helped dogs in Puerto Rico.[263] Settherecord (talk) 18:00, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

@Settherecord: Aside from the question of significance and notability, unless you have some citable evidence that the dog Gomez purchased was, in fact, a puppy mill dog (your source does not say this, and in fact indicates that it does not know this), and/or that she knowingly supports the puppy mill industry (this will require the citation of some other reliable source not yet cited), you will not be able to infer that she does by including the claim that she does in the article. It's that simple. If you still don't understand, perhaps it's better that we part ways, as your recent userpage edit indicates you intend to do. Good luck in your future endeavors. General Ization ^Talk 22:07, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

I made it neutral, omitted the word puppy mill, happy??? She made the purchase. She can deal with the consequences. Settherecord (talk) 22:18, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

FYI, ALL pet store dogs are from puppy mills. Good breeders do not sell to pet stores. This is widely known. Anyway it's significant that she did this when it was Puppy Mill Awareness week. But whatever, I'm fine with just including that she bought a dog from a pet store. http://www.thepuppymillproject.org/about-puppy-mills/Settherecord (talk) 22:23, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

I have reverted your edit, as it was clearly against the consensus that has been developed here, and of which you are clearly aware. You are begging to be blocked from editing, and I urge you again to stop now, as others have done. General Ization ^Talk 22:25, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Sourcing

Please read and heed Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons before adding content about this person. The article has been protected because of use of material from questionable sources. BLP's require "the use of high-quality sources". Please discuss edits and their sources beforehand. "Contentious material about living persons... that is unsourced or poorly sourced ... should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing." "The burden of evidence rests with the editor who adds or restores material." In particular, The Sun, Us Weekly, HollywoodLife, and TMZ have been challenged as to their quality as sources. I do not recommend adding content sourced from them. One should also read the foregoing sections related to WP:NOTADIARY and the ten year test. One should bear in mind that wikipedia is not the news and not a scandal sheet/gossip column. Finally, Wikipedia has an obligation to the subjects of articles, its editors and itself to avoid harm. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 00:30, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

picture and personal life

Can you replace her Wikipedia picture with a newer, updated one? And also, can you add that she is now dating The Weeknd?

 Not done Perhaps we can replace the photo, if you can provide us with a photograph that isn't protected by copyright. To add that she is dating someone, could you please provide us a reliable source?

Even if sources were provided, I'm not sure what she has with The Weeknd is worth including when it's not that prominent so far (at least compared to dating Justin Bieber). Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:56, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Google is filled with stories about them, enough to make it clear for me that the relationship has been a huge part of her media coverage throughout 2017. The also went public at the Met Gala,[1] [2] which is a highly covered event. I think the relationship warrants a sentence. Knope7 (talk) 02:46, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

See WP:NOTADIARY; we're not supposed to be a celebrity dating history site. Given how often couples break up (especially before getting serious), I'd say wait until they've been together at minimum a year and then re-evaluate how serious things are between them. Snuggums (talk / edits) 02:55, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

By my reading of WP:NOTADIARY, saying two people have dated is not at all a violation of the policy. Not a diary is saying don't write about every report about there relationship. I'm sure we could find a new story about their relationship every week, if not every day. Of course those don't need to go in to the article. The fact that they are dating and that they are public about it is not treating this article like a diary. My opinion is that sometimes on WP in, an effort to avoid being too tabloid-like. we can over correct and ignore major stories about celebrities and thus leave gaps in articles that might be puzzling for readers. In 2017 Selena Gomez dating The Weeknd has been a big part of her public image. Again, I'm talking about a sentence here not rewriting the article to document every story about them. Knope7 (talk) 03:11, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Perhaps I should've been more specific; just because it's in the news how couples are together doesn't automatically mean it's worth mentioning (which particularly applies to brief flings and short-term relationships for less than half a year). The only major instances I can think of where things under a year are unquestionably worth noting are when an engagement and/or pregnancy occurs. Snuggums (talk / edits) 12:18, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

To refocus back on this article and this relationship, the policy you initially cited for exclusion (NOTADIARY) does not apply. To say that Selena Gomez is dating The Weeknd is accurate, can be reliably sourced, is not libelous, does not implicate privacy concerns as they have attended highly public events together (including one of the biggest celebrity events of the year), the relationship is notable as it is highly covered in the press, and one or two sentences in an article as developed and detailed as this one is not undue weight. I can certainly think of instances where waiting to add a relationship would make sense in terms of complying with WP policy, but I don't see that being the case here. Knope7 (talk) 15:28, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Can someone please just edit her personal life, to confirm her relationship with Bieber. Nottelling247 (talk) 04:39, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Not when neither has confirmed that so far, and even if they had, it's not worth mentioning now per WP:NOTADIARY. Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:45, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Voice

Selena possesses a mezzo-soprano vocal type along with a vocal range spanning just over 3 octaves from the low note of B♭₂ to the high note of C♯₆. Selena's tone has been described as "very light and girlish", although her vocal ability live is often questionable due to stamina issues that may be due to her having lupus as well as overall power and intonation issues in general. She has stated recently that on her Revival Tour that she wishes to focus more on her vocals and less on other things like choreography

Relationships

His relationship with Justin Bieber does not seem relevant to me. First Wikipedia is not a gossip magazine, second it has been speculated that both came back, but then it was reported that they finished, and that now Selena is dating another person. So here we are going to base in what the fans say ?, then it would be relevant to add in that section the possible boyfriends that Gomez has had. In my opinion, I think it is absurd to place relations, and more if not an important event happened so that such information is worthy of being in Wikipedia. If there is currently too much speculation regarding Justin Bieber and her, the information that comes out there is outdated then.--Philip J Fry / talk 17:07, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

I tend to agree. A celebrity's sex life should be their own business and has little bearing on their notability. However a long-term committed relationship is similar to marriage and should be mentioned if it is shown to be both long-term and committed by reliable sources. In my mind long-term means more than a year, setting up household together, and committed means exclusive. Having children together in the process cements it. That would be sufficient to add as partner to infobox. Short term stuff is just voyeuristic gossip. Bieber just seems to be a steady dating partner, nothing more. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:42, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

@Geraldo Perez: The point here, is that I do not see it necessary to have that section, because I do not see it as remarkable, as I mentioned before.--Philip J Fry / talk 05:48, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Perhaps her relationship with the Biebs and other details from "personal life" could be integrated into the "life and career" section. In at least one previous thread a while back, others made it quite clear that this relationship was imperative to include as a major aspect of her life and had to be mentioned somewhere in the article. It also was at one point included there before someone decided to separate it into a "personal life" section (not sure who did or why). Anyway, leaving that out is a glaring omission, and we can reasonably include what they had together without going into gossipy speculation. For what it's worth, I seem to recall they at one point lived together even if no children it engagement came out of it, but my memory on the details is fuzzy and I'm not sure it would be worth mentioning in the page whether they lived with one another unless they have children together and/or marry. Snuggums (talk / edits) 12:27, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

For allowing such information, is falling into gossip and rumors, because it is assumed that she returned with Bieber and then I do not see that is mentioned here. And as you said, the information has been maintained because the fans have supported such a relationship and that is why it should be something that must be included in Wikipedia.--Philip J Fry / talk 13:41, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

No you've got it wrong; including how they were ever together at all DOES NOT mean we allow rumors or gossip. It was maintained because of the prominence of their relationship, and at least back then was going off of what was officially known for sure (i.e. stated they got together in x, and broke up in y). That doesn't in itself suggest they reconciled afterwards. Snuggums (talk / edits) 14:43, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

What is in the article now doesn't show any long-term significance, just reports they "dated". Why that aspect to her social life is important to Gomez in any way is left unstated making it look like gossip for the sake of gossip. It may have looked like it was important when it was added to the article originally, but time has told a different story so time to prune this. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:10, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

I'm shocked you would say it "doesn't show any long-term significance" per my previous comments. What do you feel would make it stand out more as worth including? It is known to have lasted for 3 years. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:36, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Looks like exclusive for 1 year and on and off later. Her friendship relationship with Demi Lovato had more long-term significance to her life and career than her intermittent "dating" relationship with Bieber and others. The Life and Career section still mentions Bieber along with Lovato. From the article she never worked with Bieber or did anything actually with him other than date him. I'd be OK with dropping the relationship section and leaving the mention to Bieber in the Life and Career section. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:55, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

It turns out they did record a duet, which could be mentioned in that section even if it wasn't officially released. Perhaps one suitable way is "Before breaking up with Bieber, the two recorded a song" or something along those lines within "life and career". Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:59, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

I think that would be an excellent addition to the "2007–2012: Breakthrough with Disney and Selena Gomez & the Scene" section where Bieber is already mentioned, even if the recording was not released, to show some connection of Bieber to her career and justify his inclusion in that section. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:07, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

This is something that was forgotten.--Philip J Fry^talk 00:38, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Selena Gomez is of hispanic descent

I have been adding the Category:Hispanic and latino American female singers to this article because Selena Gomez is of hispanic descent. Her father is mexican, her mother was raised by hispanic people... I don't know why some try to hide her ancestry. Basically there's no category in this article denoting her heritage. The same user is reverting my edits, I don't know why he is trying to hide the obvious fact that Selena is of Hispanic descent. Even Demi Lovato and Lauren Jauregui are included in that category. The category denotes their ancestry, not the genre of music they sing. And if that was the case, Gomez has released songs in Spanish as well. --Paparazzzi (talk) 15:48, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

@Paparazzzi: This is something that needs local WP:CONSENSUS in this article. Whether this is correct in all the other articles (e.g., Lovato, Jauregui) doesn't determine the correctness here, per WP:OSE. I am also not the only editor who has reverted this category as being WP:NOTDEFINING to Gomez. See these reverts by SNUGGUMS (of other editors) as well, [3][4]. As for the scope of the category in question, that should also be made clear in the category (which I'm seeing is not). My perception is that it's in a group of categories which apply to artists notable for singing Hispanic or Latino music, like Jennifer Lopez, Santana or Enrique Iglesias ... or even Gomez's namesake Selena. Gomez doesn't have any Hispanic/Latino music that is part of her notability that I'm aware of ... definitely not in the early part of her solo career or with Selena Gomez & the Scene. If there are any Spanish songs that she is well known for, and made a respectable showing on a record chart (Spanish versions of English songs that are part of an album of hers don't count if they don't achieve WP:NSONG notability), it's possible I will have a different take on this matter.

BTW, there are other categories that can unequivocally identify her ancestry or heritage, like Category:American musicians of Mexican descent. MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:31, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

I must say Paparazzzi is correct that this category is about ancestry, not a genre of music. What I agree with MPFitz1968 on is how the trait most definitely isn't defining for Gomez and that's why I removed it before. We aren't supposed to add categories to pages just for the sake of having them categorized with specific traits. See WP:Overcategorization and particularly its section on non-defining characteristics for further details. WP:OTHERSTUFF also isn't a convincing rationale for inclusion here. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 23:30, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

So basically we agree that the category is about ancestry and not the genre of her music, right? If that's the case, she must be added to that category, alongside the Category:American musicians of Mexican descent. Just because she does not have any relevant song in Spanish does not erase the fact that she is of Hispanic heritage.--Paparazzzi (talk) 02:10, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

On the contrary, her ethnicity DOES NOT equate to "she must be added to that category" or the Mexican descent one. Verifying something doesn't automatically entitle it to inclusion. You're missing the point of WP:Overcategorization#Non-defining characteristics. Please read through that link, especially if you haven't already. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:15, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Rating of this article

ORES, a tool which provides assistance in rating articles, is used by many contributors to Women in Red. I was encouraged to use it by the project coordinator Rosiestep. I noticed that this article was given an extremely high FA rating by ORES and therefore raised its rating to B class. My edit was reverted and the editor in question subsequently reduced the ORES rating to GA by adding "citation needed" to one small item in the article. As my IMDb sourcing of this item was reverted as non-reliable, I simply removed it as I do not believe that half a line in an article of over 6,000 words of running text should be a reason for lowering its class rating. Indeed, with its rich in-line referencing and detailed coverage of subject matter, in my opinion, with or without ORES, it certainly deserves B class assessment. As I try at all costs to avoid edit wars, I hope other contributors will follow up on this. It is important that frequently viewed women's biographies should not be underrated.--Ipigott (talk) 11:03, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Changing the picture of Selena Gomez

Hello, I believe that we should change the first picture of Selena Gomez that is portrayed on the page due to the fact that the current one is a year old and doesn;t accurately portray what Selena Gomez currently looks like.

Songwriter!?

Hello I noticed that her role as a songwriter has be removed without a reason, so I thought to add it again. Lililolol (talk) 02:50, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. She co-wrote many major hit songs, and a bunch of less notable album tracks. Binksternet (talk) 03:12, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Please refer to earlier discussions in the archive about this, particularly Talk:Selena Gomez/Archive 1#Singer-Songwriter, Talk:Selena Gomez/Archive 3#Composer as occupation and Talk:Selena Gomez/Archive 4#Semi-protected edit request on 28 August 2019. Talk about these co-writing credits being "courtesy" credits is among the arguments made. Definitely not a singer-songwriter, as made in this edit - normally in this case, the artist would be the only writer (although exceptions can be noted, like with Olivia Rodrigo, where the argument about how many sources identified her as that overrode that definition). As "songwriter" has been added and removed numerous times to the lead sentence, like a snail-paced edit war (same with "producer"), it may be time for an RfC on this. I will not remove the recent re-addition, but it's time to settle this once and for all. MPFitz1968 (talk) 06:47, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

I agree she does not fit the singer-songwriter definition. Years ago, she would not have been classified as a songwriter at all. She is acknowledged to have had very little influence on the songs early in her career, but she began co-writing her songs after a while and now she co-writes almost every song. Collaborator Julia Michaels defended Gomez in 2019, saying, ""I can actually 100% say that selena is VERY much a songwriter. Coming from someone that has written with her multiple times." Claims that Gomez received "courtesy" credit should be ignored unless there are reliable sources. Contradicting that notion, The Washington Post wrote in 2020 that "Gomez has the lead songwriting credit on every song" on her album Rare. Binksternet (talk) 23:35, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

It is absurd to downplay her songwriting work by saying such credits are just "courtesy" ones, especially with the evidence Binksternet linked to. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 00:26, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Producer is without doubt a vanity credit. ChicagoWikiEditor (talk) 18:30, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

We don't have to invent a situation where she is totally unable to make the kind of decisions normally expected of a producer. What's lacking for us to list the occupation of "producer" is the production of other people's music. That's what producers do, they produce for other people. Prince produced himself, Vanity 6 and the Time, etc., so we list Prince as a producer. At the very least, the media should be calling Gomez a producer before we can call her that, or acknowledging it in a very obvious way. For instance, Mariah Carey only produces her own songs, but she was nominated in 1992 for a producer Grammy, along with her producer colleague Walter Afanasieff: Grammy Award for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. So let's stand down on listing producer as an occupation. Binksternet (talk) 20:58, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

On the contrary, ChicagoWikiEditor, she's known to have served as a producer for (among other things) 13 Reasons Why, Selena + Chef, Living Undocumented, and Only Murders in the Building. Those alone should be plenty to debunk the dismissive "vanity credit" claim. I don't know why you continue to minimize this aspect of her career, especially when pieces like these exist. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:19, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Sounds like if "producer" is to be included, we'll have to distinguish. Binksternet is talking about a music/record producer, while SNUGGUMS is talking about a television/film producer. Clearly two different kinds of production professions. MPFitz1968 (talk) 22:25, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

I admittedly hadn't thought of that, but have no objections to specifying a type of producer. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:30, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

@SNUGGUMS The fact that almost all of her executive producing credits are projects she produces and stars in is practically all validation needed that they are indeed vanity credits. I invite you to research what a vanity credit is, since you seem to think it's some made up term. There is a distinguishable difference between executive producers and everyday on-set television producers / film producers who all work on projects they don't appear in (e.g). The entire team of producers receive awards if they win regarding nominated work, those refs don't change a thing. Lede occupations should reflect the balance of material in the article. Like many articles, the occupation box fulfills an article subjects lesser roles.

@Binksternet This was pertaining her executive producer credits in television. Regardless, she does not regularly produce for other people and the mainstream media typically is not referring to her as "Selena Gomez the producer" in reliable sources (unless the article is about winning an emmy for producing as a part of a team or being the owner and financial backing of the production company, like above). ChicagoWikiEditor (talk) 23:05, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

That's unfairly presumptuous to say. Starring in something doesn't inherently mean one has a vanity credit. It honestly just sounds like you're looking for excuses to downplay her production endeavors, and I don't find your rationale convincing at all. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 03:54, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Non-factual claim about Selena Gomez's motive to donate to TimesUp

The lemma now states that "Due to a resurgence of the 1992 sexual abuse allegation against Allen prompted by the Me Too movement, Gomez made a donation of over $1 million, exceeding her salary from the film, to the Time's Up initiative."

While it may be true that A. Selena Gomez made a donation of over $1 million, and B. her donation exceeded her salary from the film, there is not a shred of evidence that she did that C. 'due to ... movement'. Thus, a motive is attributed to Gomez for which not a shred of evidence is presented. Nor is the relevance of the donation 'exceeding her salary from the film' claimed by Gomez herself.

So I propose to have the motive (C.) and the irrelevant comparison (B.) removed and will do that in two weeks time, unless someone comes up with a reliable source that makes clear this motive and this comparison *can* be attributed to Gomez. Mcouzijn (talk) 12:55, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Controversy over Gomez and Rare Beauty donations in response 2023 Israel-Hamas war

In response to the 2023 Israel-Hamas war, Gomez and Rare Beauty issued a statement which implied solidarity with the people of Gaza and the humanitarian crsis in Gaza. Moreover, they donated to Israeli and Palestinian ogranizations. However the Israeli ogranization which they donated to was Magen David Adom, an auxillary of the Israel Defense Forces, which are implicated in war crimes against civillians in occupied Gaza. Consequently Gomez and Rare Beauty were heavily critcised not only for their donation to Magen David Adom, but also for issuing a misleading statement impying solidarity with the people of Gaza.

I included this information in the lead but it was paraphrased by another editor to read that she supported Palestine in the Israel-Hamas War without addressing the controversy over the donation and the statement. The same editor then removed the information entirely from the lead and inserted their paraphrased version into the the Other Charity Work section. Not only is it misleading but it comes across as WP:PUFF. Ive added a balanced version of what exactly transpired and what the controversy was into the Other Charity Work section.
