This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations:

"The 50 most-viewed Wikipedia articles in 2009 and 2008". The Daily Telegraph. August 17, 2009.
Steyn, James (August 27, 2009). "Wikipedia: Top 20 people, places, film and technology articles". The Daily Telegraph.
"Lady Gaga Brings 'Bad Romance,' Sense of Humor to 'Leno'". Rolling Stone. November 24, 2009. Gaga also expressed displeasure that her Wikipedia page refuses to change her place of origin from Yonkers to New York City, but Rolling Stone is happy to report that as of press time, the change has been made to Gaga's Wiki to reflect her Big Apple roots.

FTC

Okay @GagaNutella, IndianBio, and SNUGGUMS: I am not sure when/if this article is going to be an FA but I think Gaga deserves an FTC. It does not even matter whether or not this article is an FA as GA would also be enough for her FTC. I am not sure whether I will be here in a month or so and this is one of the last things I want to do -- see this as a featured topic. What do you say? -- Frankie _talk 18:06, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in for what you guys decide. I don't see a problem to not nominated it, of course it would be nicer if this article was FA, but I'm in anyway. And Frankie, is this a goodbye? GagaNutella^talk 18:42, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Even if this doesn't have to be FA for that, the article does still need brushing up. Too soon for FTC if you ask me. Besides, I still have Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Overview of Katy Perry/archive1 going on with you anyway. I'm also not gonna be around as much for the next few months. Snuggums (talk / edits) 18:49, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We need strong detergent powder to cleanup this article. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 20:20, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Strong detergent" LOOOOOOOL GagaNutella^talk 21:19, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Would Ariel do? -- Frankie _talk 21:23, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@GagaNutella, FrB.TG, and SNUGGUMS:, I have started to cleanup the biography section of the article. Let me know how does it look. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 14:42, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I like especially what you have done with TF and TFM section. I would be very happy if the article is brought down to ca. 120k. -- Frankie _talk 15:15, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

the career beginning section was especially tricky, but I think I did a good job. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 15:24, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm dying with the detergent thing lol I support your two major edits. I want to work hard on the sources, but I'm gonna wait the clean up first. GagaNutella^talk 15:33, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not bad so far. The reduction was definitely needed. Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:41, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(→) I have removed a lot of unnecessary information, but keeping in mind the FTC, what do you guys think of creating List of live performances by Lady Gaga? I believe she has enough content that it won't be a CFORK. 5 concert tours, 2 residencies, plus umpteen high profile performances. And not to sound shady or anything, Gaga's live performances are much more discussed in journalism and academics than Katy's so I guess that is a possibility. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 16:48, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have already suggested that [1], and I support you IB. I'm very excited to work on a new list of Gaga. We could follow M or Houston's format. GagaNutella^talk 17:03, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure on that one but if created, please lemme know so that I can push it to FLC. -- Frankie _talk 17:09, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, though it's probably best to start a draft first and see where that goes. Snuggums (talk / edits) 18:00, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The most excited one seems to be GagaNutella. So he should create Draft:List of Lady Gaga live performances. :D -- Frankie _talk 18:08, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deal! I'm in!!! GagaNutella^talk 18:51, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing I wanted to talk about is the public image thing. The current section is fine in terms of the structure and all, but I believe it is outdated. I am seeing quite a few articles regarding Gaga's recent transformation following the Artpop era into a more glamorous persona, old Hollywood style etc. We have to incorporate that with proper balance. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 22:55, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we can add it in the end of the third para or so. Could you link to those articles (so that it should be easier) or do that yourself? -- Frankie _talk 08:16, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Two links for starting up, E! and Billboard. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 12:23, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update

I think parts of the article require some updates. The last couple of years have seen a real transformation in terms of her aesthetic, and approach to her public image. She has moved away from trying to 'shock' at high profile events, such as Awards shows, and instead has adopted a more 'old-Hollywood glamour' style. I think it all started with her 2015 Oscars performance, and ever since then she has tried to claw back the support of sectors of the public she seemed to lose with ARTPOP.
