Bieber

It is ridiculous that there is not even a sentence mentioning that she is dating Justin Bieber. It has been a well established public fact for months now, and whether some people like it or not, it is clearly a fact that belongs on her Wikipedia article. See, for example, http://www.torontosun.com/entertainment/celebrities/2011/03/06/17513671-wenn-story.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.67.94 (talk) 10:17, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They're not married, and girlfriends don't count.--151.55.237.79 (talk) 13:59, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this should be added.--Babar Suhail (talk) 06:06, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I actually think there should be a reference to her dating Justin. Longterm signifigant others ARE noteworthy. I've seen them mentioned many times throughout Wikipedia. 96.235.21.16 (talk) 17:06, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps someone should change her age to 19 years old, being that it's her birthday today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.247.206 (talk) 03:00, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The birth date and age template is working just fine; I see her listed as 19. —C.Fred (talk) 03:58, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Half-Italian

[1] The "early life" section says her mother is "half-Italian". The two sources currently attached to this phrase say "a Texas native who is of Mexican and Italian heritage" (NYDN) and the other says "my mom is Italian" (showbizcafe video @ 0:35). The "half-Italian" phrase was originally sourced mainly to an article from the Fresno Bee (see Talk:Selena_Gomez/Archive_1#She.27s_Mexican). (Later it was sourced to PhilStar, but that's dated 2009, long after the content was in the Wiki article, so it may be circular.) Neither seem to be used now. I have no idea why the Fresno Bee article was removed; it certainly couldn't have been because it went dead, because it's readily available in archive [2] even now. But if the article isn't using sources to support the phrase, then the phrase shouldn't be there. Perhaps something less specific: "she has Italian ancestry on her mother's side"? Gimmetoo (talk) 04:51, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well the name Selena Gomez isn't Italian at all. When you think of Selena Gomez, you think Latin American, probably Mexican too. She is technically 3/4th Mexican and 1/4th Italian. Although she seems to not really have a connection with her Italian side. She is into her Mexican side more. I need sources to support this I know, but it DOES seem that she is more with her Mexican side considering she is learning Spanish not Italian, and was named after Mexican-American icon signer Selena. Ultraman X77 (talk) 22:53, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some weeks ago, I pointed out that the article currently does not have a source supporting "half-Italian". I pointed out the sources that used to be there. Either sources need to be added, or the info removed. Gimmetoo (talk) 21:27, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
