Controversy section

Shouldn't there be a controversy section? The man compared HRT to blackface. I think there was more I can't recall rn, should we add that section? 64.189.135.85 (talk) 15:03, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's quite a bit that could be added to a controversy section. If someone is using wikipedia to learn about this man, they should be aware of the documented controversies as well as the unaddressed SA allegations made against him. 2600:740A:3:432:ED17:1F44:A96A:FF52 (talk) 05:31, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about that first point (you'd need a source) but you definitely can't accuse him of a crime that he hasn't been convicted of. TheGlitterNetwork (talk) 20:39, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Completely oppose. He was comparing identifying with the opposite race with identifying with the opposite sex, a valid opinion isn't invalid because it offends some people. SweetTaylorJames (talk) 06:24, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am not very familiar with this subject, so I won't comment on whether this material should be included somewhere in the article or not. Reliably sourced controversies are often included in biographies with WP:DUE weight when necessary. However, an entire section dedicated solely to controversies is highly discouraged, per WP:CSECTION.LM2000 (talk) 07:41, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Years active

Just because Panic! at the Disco is discontinued doesn't mean Brendon's career is either. 96.227.141.216 (talk) 00:24, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's no known activity in terms of his music career currently. 142.186.88.120 (talk) 23:53, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, well, the last thing I want is for him to retire from music altogether. I know he needs to focus on his family and all, but still. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.227.141.216 (talk) 01:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely, well if for example if he returns to music in 2025, the bio will read 2004-2023; 2025-present. 142.186.88.120 (talk) 00:01, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All we know is that Panic has disbanded. Saying he wants to focus on his personal life doesn't confirm that he's permanently left the spotlight. Sources on the band disbanding note that even while other members left, Urie continued to do other side projects.[1]

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and he could still continue to work as a solo artist, going more into acting and so on. Just because he hasn't announced anything as of May 2023 doesn't mean he's done forever. Clear Looking Glass (talk) 22:42, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
