Talk:Shawn Mendes

Semi-protected edit request on 15 June 2014

i would like to add to the ending of the brief description, that "he likes muffins." I think this is an important thing to add helps people learn some variety on Shawn. It will help them learn some things about him that most wikipedia pages don't show and you can get to know him better. I hope you think about adding my idea Thank you!

At the beginning, it is stated that Shawn Mendes was born August 8, 1998. It is later stated "He is the youngest artist to debut in the top 25 with a debut song on the Billboard Hot 100, debuting at number 24 for the week ending July 12, 2014 at 15 years, 9 months and 24 days of age" However, on that date, Shawn Mendes would have been 15 years, 11 months, and 4 days of age.

iHeartradio music awards verdict

I watched the 2015 iHeartradio awards and sadly Shawn did not win for best fan army for his very own mendes army. So this needs to be changed to nominated and not pending. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Larenmendes (talk • contribs) 21:37, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Child singer?

I noticed the page is categorized in "Canadian child singers". Mendes rose to fame at the age of 15, which by that point he wasn't exactly a "child" anymore. Perhaps a category of "Canadian teen singers" or such can be created. MB298 (talk) 00:27, 28 December 2015 (UTC) But he is also younger than most singer's and there are a lot of teen singers that are about 18 or 19 so think again.

Actor

I would like to have the movie he was in listed in his Wikipedia page. Shawn Mendes was part of the US cast of the movie "Underdogs", which came out in 2013. It was an animated film and he portrayed younger Jake. Though he did not have a huge role in the movie, most people do not know that he was part of the movie and I believe that people should know that he was actually in a movie.

186.182.222.2 (talk) 13:44, 4 October 2016 (UTC) the picture that you're showing of shawn mendes is too old, i'd suggest a pic of 2016

Not done for now: Please upload the picture you want to add, to Wikimedia Commons, but note that the picture must not be copyright, which excludes almost all images that you find on the internet, in magazines etc. Unless you took the picture yourself, you will need proof that it is not copyright, just saying it is not copyright is not acceptable.

Genre

Many sources have clarified that Shawn Mendes' discography contains music distinguished as rock, blues and pop-rock. Whenever those three genres are added under "genres", the changes are reversed by a certain user when they should not be. It is not personal opinion. Multiple sources have agreed with this. Please stop reversing the changes involving those genres.

Only list genres that are prominent/recurring in his career. Not the album. Destiny Leo (talk) 15:24, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

The genres listed are indeed prominent/recurring in his career. The sources cited refer to each specific album, however the two albums make up 95% of his discography. Thus all genres should be included. Wikipedian1818 (talk) 02:04, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Genre?

Does anyone know what the genre of Shawn Mendes' music actually is? It always just says plain 'pop' or even 'rock', though there's no rock in Shawn Mendes' songs at all. Is there a more specific genre? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.207.146 (talk) 16:32, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

@Blankspace200: That's already mentioned at the article on his awards and nominations. That seems like the most appropriate place to mention it to me because I don't think it's quite important enough to mention in the main article on Mendes. Of course, that's just my opinion; if you disagree, feel free to say so, and we can see what other people think! Cheers, -- Irn (talk) 14:01, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Context for statement re Shawn Medes is heterosexual required

The addition of 'Shawn Mendes is heterosexual' is very strange without relevant context as I tried to insert.It is a very odd inclusion on a Wikipedia page without some context. You do not see the same insertions on say Tom Cruise, Barrack Obama pages for instance or millions of other celebrity pages. I suggest you delete the 'Shawn Mendes is heterosexual' statement if you do not put some context of why you are adding it in. Discopup (talk) 02:41, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

If your concerns are about adding appropriate context, why, in this edit, did you change the text to just Mendes is gay. and in this edit, did you change the text to Mendes says he is heterosexual.? Your third edit which added the sentence There has been extensive online speculation about Mendes' sexuality which Mendes has clarified in a number of media interviews. in my view places too much WP:UNDUE emphasis on gossip on and rumors about a living person and there is no need to address it; perhaps more context could be added but not just by saying there is "extensive" speculation. If there are sources explicitly discussing the sexuality of Cruise, Obama, or others (i.e., no one is assuming they are straight just because of no evidence to the contrary), then I would say the articles should be updated to reflect that information. Umimmak (talk) 05:23, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

The fact is Mendes may be gay or he may be heterosexual... We just have him stating he is not gay. Many other celebrities have said they were straight but ended up admiting they were in fact gay later. Without some context your statement Shawn Mendes is heterosexual is not a proven fact it is just what he is saying at this point in time... It might be true or it might not. By altering it to say he says he is heterosexual is a lot more accurate but my preference would be adding the context that it has been a cause of discussion which Mendes has chosen to respond to and state that he is not gay.
