Edit request from Jayjoanz, 14 February 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} Please add the following information to the "Public Image" section of Lady Gaga's page:

Lady Gaga's public perception is always amongst the most controversial of topics in popular culture. Debate about her style and influence on youth stems from her unceasing desire to walk the thin line between daring and inappropriate. The pop stars ability to command the attention of her fans and critics is unmatched and with a growing list of hit records she has solidified herself as a marketable brand. Her 2.8 million Twitter followers and 5.2 million Facebook fans represent evidence of her ability to move product Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).(Hampp, 2010). With opposing ideals about the negative or positive impact of her music, fashion, and public statements there is little question that the benefits of her talent outweigh the detriments. Her fan base and customer base are similar in nature because they are both drawn to her outspoken and outrageous personality Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).(Hampp, 2010).

I think that section already basically says that. Also, we don't list how many Twitter followers and Facebook followers a person has because there's no way to really verify that information -- are those real people? Are there any sockpuppet accounts? Anyway, the article basically says all that already. Banaticus (talk) 06:54, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Drug-taking?

Shouldn't something be said about her drug taking. She admitted it on her CBS 60 Minutes interview that she smokes A LOT of pot while writing music, while drinking whiskey. It's mentioned on other musician's articles, so why not here? --90.193.141.136 (talk) 18:01, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised her former cocaine habit isn't mentioned here as well, seeing as she's talked about it in multiple places now (60 Minutes, Vanity Fair). 128.163.242.6 (talk) 11:24, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1986–2004: Early life

Lady Gaga was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, to an Italian American family, in New York City on March 28, 1986,[11]

...in Yonkers. NY...

Yonkers is it's own city and not part of New York City, it is located in Westchester County, not one of the five boroughs. Cvachov (talk) 00:37, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: Per the cited source, "Birth Place: New York, NY."[1] It does not state Yonkers. If you check the talk page history, you'll also see that this issue has been researched and discussed at end, and established consensus is that she was not born in Yonkers. —C.Fred (talk) 01:00, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Early Management requested addition

Frank Fredericks, a fellow freshman at NYU, recognized Stefani's talent when they competed against each other in a campus talent show. Fredericks began managing Stefani in the Spring of 2005, booking her shows at the nearby club the Bitter End. They worked together for over year, until she began working with producer Rob Fusari.

Lady Gaga Jewish

{{edit semi-protected}}

I dont have a link, but she is Jewish. --91.115.58.243 (talk) 08:20, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No she is not. She is of Italian descent and was raised Roman Catholic, and she also attended a Catholic school. She is not Jewish. She is Catholic, and the article already has sources stating so. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 19:33, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wax Statue

Why No Mention of it? 121.207.110.24 (talk) 10:10, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a citation for it? FM [ talk to me | show contributions ]  16:53, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Lady Gaga had eight wax statues unveiled in December 2010[2] but I'm not sure whether the article needs to mention this on WP:NOTNEWS grounds.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 17:00, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Section heading Gay Icon should be Gay icon. Read WP:Section caps. 74.231.46.68 (talk) 19:12, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User talk February 2011

my questioning about this page as a marketing tool, seems to be a very bad thing, and was "vandalism" according to John9988, the head Editior for this page. It seems a discussion page does not mean discussion.

The talk page is just that talk!!!, suggestions , ideas and question????. It was is NOT the main article. John9988 is trying to control questions and public speech. There is a reason why there is a discussion page was implemented.

"Why is he John9988 deleting questions, and ideas on a "DISCUSSION PAGE". Its just that...discussion. The question was that the page could easily be a marketing page, as it most of the the contributors seems to be the same people going when you look at the history contributions. The page seem to have more references that anything on Wikipedia, and the general public is generally lazy to to that extent. My question pertained to marketing...as marketers are insipid and are using anything and everything on the internet." "

Yes I could be less antagonistic in what I wrote. I still stand by with my questions on marketing "This is another example of articles that are used as a vehicle for the marketing of people and services. Unlike...or how Wikipedia used to be...this seems to be written by just a handful of people!!!! How does one individual get such a huge article after being in the entertainment industry for just a soooo few years. It has 150 references to where the material came from.

Lady GAGa has been in the industry for just 5 years, yet she probably has more references than anyone other person.

I've studied film/ media and photography for 6 years. When entertainers, get to level of filling stadiums, very few of their ideas is still their own. Today the ideas that come from big stars and their music, and visual production output, is part of marketing and the people who work with them could be considered part of their "marketing team"

Another question...As something that can be seen as marketing...the targeting of gay men in her production...not that it's anything new Madonna(where most of here ideas come from) but kilted up, Chere, others.*

So little talk for a page with some many references, and one that is so extensive....we really should be worried. Someone is controlling the talk on this DISCUSSION page.

John9988 Are you part of the marketing team of Lady Gaga? Is that why you removed a relevant questions on a discussion page??

Talk pages are for discussing the article, not for general conversation about the article's subject (much less other subjects). Keep discussions focused on how to improve the article. Irrelevant discussions are subject to removal.

A couple of quick notes. First, bear in mind that there are 12 pages of archived discussion in addition to the threads visible on this page. Archiving takes the older content and moves it off of this page. With only active discussions on this page, it's easier to follow.
Part of the reason there are so many references is because of the volume of discussion and involvement of a large number of editors. For instance, her place of birth was a topic of discussion for a while. To address the concerns raised by editors and to meet the verifiability concerns, there were multiple references at one point. —C.Fred (talk) 18:09, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Born This Way: The Remixes

It has been confirmed on Lady Gaga's official website that 'Born This Way - The Remixes' will be released on the 15th of March. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.114.163 (talk) 17:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Psychiatric issues

Is someone joking here? Can we even call these sources? The "Judiciary" report? An anti-kabbalah site dedicated to slamming Madonna claiming she is affecting Gaga in a bad way and dragging her towards darkness? A non-autobiographical book? Huffington post mentioned she had a "mental breakdown" and was hospitalized, but does that mean she's a psycho? Please remove this section or else find some reliable sources.We also should have discussed this before someone randomly adding it. Thank You. --GagaLittleMonster (talk) 16:49, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Previous to the release of the album, the singer had bought her own music in October 2010[99] and in February 2011 was accused of being self-promotional." First of all, the source says "unreleased music", and I can't find anything accusing her of being "Self-promotional"... Please someone fix the article.--GagaLittleMonster (talk) 21:30, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Runway Model

Someone should add Runway model to her occupations. And someone should consider removing "psychiatric issues" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.64.182.29 (talk) 02:35, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly... I'm trying but no one seems to respond.--GagaLittleMonster (talk) 13:02, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
