Selena

I think his dating selena is very important and belongs here. Why didnt you talk about it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Memercury3 (talk • contribs) 23:46, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't a section on his possible paternity suit be placed in here? Manofmyth (talk) 21:05, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that any and all mention of his girlfriend Selena Gomez has been removed from this article and any mention of Bieber has been removed from the Gomez article is a serious problem that I'm going to escalate to either additional noticeboards or an RfC if it isn't cleared up on the talk pages. For the same discussion on the problem in the Gomez article, see Talk:Selena_Gomez#Bieber. Viriditas (talk) 04:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to bring it up at the BLP page where the paternity accusation was discussed. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 09:19, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Paternity allegations

See: Wikipedia:BLPN#Justin_Bieber for ongoing talk about this topic

What, nothing on that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.246.86.168 (talk) 01:02, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A section on the paternity allegations has been added but repeatedly removed. It should not be removed again unless someone can clearly show why it's not encyclopaedic, and I will be most displeased with the next person who dishonestly calls it OR as a pretext for removal. --FergusM1970 (talk) 23:00, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia:BLPN#Justin_Bieber. You are invited to participate there. Thank you. Dr.K. ^{λogosπraxis} 23:07, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do not remove this allegation from the article unless you can show that it is not notable, relevant or well-documented, as per WP:BLP. --FergusM1970 (talk) 04:10, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure a whole section is needed at all - the whole section is full of accusations of some sort or another. Anyways could we get all involed to pls come to Wikipedia:BLPN#Justin_Bieber - as the edit war does not help anyone.Moxy (talk) 05:34, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit protected request

<s>{{editprotected}}</s>

A consensus appears to have arisen on the blpn thread for the addition of a small comment about this issue, so I have posted this here with an edit request. To the admin actioning this request, Please allow a decent length of time for any objections to arise here - I am posting a link to this request on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Justin Bieber - Off2riorob (talk) 19:57, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The proposed addition to be added to the end of this Justin Bieber#2011–present: Never Say Never film, Under the Mistletoe and Believe section, separate, and not connected to the other content already in the section.

In late 2011, Bieber faced a [[Paternity (law)|paternity]] allegation, which he denied.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/15564267|title=Justin Bieber 'dad' claim denied by star's management|publisher=Radio 1- Newsbeat|date=November 2, 2011|accessdate=November 6, 2011}}</ref>

Debut Album Songs Charted on the Billboard Hot 100

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the second paragraph of the article, it states: He became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut album chart on the Billboard Hot 100. I'm not sure if you mean the first artist or the first artist/band. If you mean artist/band, the Beatles had also 7 songs from their debut album Please Please Me that charted anywhere from #1 and #67 on the Billboard Hot 100. In that case, Justin wasn't the first. 75.128.132.12 (talk) 01:07, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It looks as if the source was misquoted. The source says, "He is also the first artist to have seven songs from a debut CD on Billboard's Hot 100 chart." Someone might have assumed CD is equivalent to album. Obviously, there were no CD's when the Beatles were operational. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:15, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But did the Beatles have seven songs from their debut album chart? Two of the songs charted before the album was released. Does that still count as charting from the album? —C.Fred (talk) 01:34, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And looking at The Beatles discography, I only come up with six songs off Please Please Me in the Hot 100. Do we have a reliable source that says there were seven from the album? —C.Fred (talk) 01:40, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

note - although the edit is not actioned I have removed the edit request as the article is unprotected now and there was a dispute about this request. Off2riorob (talk) 19:58, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lawsuit seems to have been a hoax at best

[1] appears to make any mention of a paternity lawsuit moot - Wikipedia is not here to ensure long life to tabloid hoaxes or worse. Cheers. Collect (talk) 13:36, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Collect.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:45, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you also Collect. And to think the amount of edit-warring and comments at BLPN. I hope something is learnt from all this, but I will not hold my breath. Dr.K. ^{λogosπraxis} 18:17, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lesson: never hold your breath waiting for common sense at Wikipedia!Anythingyouwant (talk) 19:14, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well said, as usual. :) Dr.K. ^{λogosπraxis} 20:42, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

correction to school

the name of the school attended by Justin Bieber is spelled Jeanne Sauvé (the associated link does contain the correct spelling) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jelesuis (talk • contribs) 11:34, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How about adding this as a source for his Christian faith: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZf_lfw2XPg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.251.252.74 (talk) 00:51, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My concern is that the clips are so short, they might be out of context. Plus, the individual appearance aren't sourceable—that's what would need to be sourced, not the montage. —C.Fred (talk) 02:10, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
