Proposal of inclusion.

I suggest to include this:

In his and Tyler Joseph's pages, due to the high amount of vandalism present. Cheers, MYS77 ✉ 20:47, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

It seems at this point that notability has been clearly established, based on my reading of the Wikipedia:Notability guidelines, the publishing of a major work, documented articles written about the subject, and his membership in a well-known band. What is the process for having the warning removed? Dextmsg (talk) 06:23, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're not reading it correctly then. There is no major work about the subject. There are several of works about the band and many of those where he is interviewed. There are photo essays about the subject's girlfriend and him, but still nothing that meets WP:GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:28, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell the notability tag on this page needs removing. Wikipedia's notability guidelines state that 'If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list'. There are several in-depth articles and interviews published by independent sources that focus solely or heavily on Josh Dun. Doesn't that fit the notability guidelines? Catherinesideways (talk) 20:26, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Plase read the discussion above. I don't see those sources. Could you please point them out to me? Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:38, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At least one source is now on the article. Josh Dun is not the major point of the article, but receives notable coverage in the article. At the very least, notability is unclear, and deletion should be a last report. --Dustball (talk) 18:19, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving Twenty One Pilots

On March 7, 2016, Joshua Dun announced over Twitter that he left twenty one pilots. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.96.185 (talk) 02:33, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@66.215.96.185: Twitter is not a reliable source, and it must not be considered as a fact when coming from either Josh or Tyler. MYS77 ✉ 12:55, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you can ping anons.
Twitter can be used for information from primary sources when discussing issues such as this, assuming that there is no analysis, evaluation, interpretation or syntheses. See WP:PRIMARY. It seems that this was an outright statement. If that is the case, it can be used, however secondary sources will likely become available as well. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:55, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Walter Görlitz: Do you ever checked those guys' Twitter accounts? They're always making jokes about being out of the band. How could we consider this reliable? MYS77 ✉ 20:02, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not a real twitter follower. if they're making jokes, it will be discovered. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:32, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 3 June 2016-Josh Dun-twenty one pilots

Josh Dun of twenty one pilots also plays trumpet as seen in this source: [1] and in these photos: [2] and [3]

In summary, the "Instrument" section should be replaced with "Instruments" and trumpet should be added too.

Instruments: Drums, trumpet

Thank you! I do not own any of these sources, the rights go to their respective owners. REL393939 (talk) 04:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done The reason we will not add this is that the instruments parameter of {{infobox musical artist}} states "Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using." He is not primarily known for playing trumpet. Also, the images show someone playing trumpet, but it's not clear that it is Dunn. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:00, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Walter Görlitz The video does display Dun playing trumpet by a credible source, Fuse. I do, however, see your point about the pictures. Thank you for letting me know about that rule. Though I believe he is getting more recognition for his trumpet playing--especially in a recent concert I went to in Cincinnati (their Emotional Roadshow Tour kickoff)--it is not his primary instrument. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.169.130.209 (talk) 20:25, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

I think the artist profile photo needs to be changed, as it is from 2013. He now wears stage makeup and looks a little different than the photo. Shannon.norton (talk) 16:27, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Shannon.norton: Do you have a free, non-copyrighted image to upload here? If so, then we can think about changing. If not, we cannot change it. MYS77 ✉ 16:48, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please change the picture of Josh Dun to a more current photo? 2013 was three years ago and it is not even the most flattering picture of him-and there are plenty of more flattering pictures out there. Here's an example: http://marriedwiki.com/uploads/bio/josh-dun.jpg

he plays percussion and trumpet

98.21.98.145 (talk) 14:15, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done That's been stated before. The infobox only lists his primary instruments, as should all artist infoboxes. Please provide a reliable source that supports trumpet as a secondary instrument and we can add it to the article. If it's primary instrument, a source would need to be found for that as well.

He's a drummer. I'm sure he plays, djembe, maracas, tambourines and numerous other percussion instruments as required. We can either list drums or percussion, but essentially, the individual instruments are not consequential. At least you're not suggesting that trumpet is a primary instrument. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:50, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Image from 2016.

I used this image because it is more recent, however I added the image from 2013 in the article so that people can still see how he appears. So subject can still be seen in article. Coda16 16:43, 14 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by EthanRossie2000 (talk • contribs)

Joshler real or not???🤔 Tessa Corbala (talk) 22:59, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Tessa Corbala: No reliable sources to back up this evidence. So, I'd say no to this. Probably another shipping from their fans. MYS77 ✉ 02:40, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Josh Dun also plays the trumpet

Hey, in the factbox it says that the only insturment Josh plays is the drums, well in one if the songs from blurryface he also plays the trumpet. In fact he also plays it live. If you search on youtube for "we don't believe what's on tv live" you can see the performance where josh plays the trumpet at some point in the song ;). Just thought it was sad that it said he only plays the drums, when on tylers page, it mentions all the instruments that tyler plays, that dont even matter that much. Timtitoo (talk) 08:33, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done This has been discussed before. The infobox should only list his primary instruments. One song, or performance, or even two or three, with a trumpet does not make it one of his primary instruments. Incorrect inclusions on other pages should be removed, not used as a reason for more incorrect inclusions here. - Arjayay (talk) 08:44, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Josh also plays the tamporin

Tamporin should be added under instruments. House Of Gold is an example of where he plays it Timtitoo (talk) 08:40, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not only drums

He plays the trumpet too ItIsViktoria (talk) 16:59, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tattoos

Since there's already a section about his tattoos, shouldn't we include his 'Tyler' tattoo on his leg and the new 'Mom' tattoo on his other arm? StopPeteWentz (talk) 12:44, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Self-taught drums

I checked the source cited and the statement made in this article is not found anywhere in that article. If the story is true and was really told by Josh, we need a better source, and someone needs to clear up that awfully-phrased sentence. The syntax is totally gone. If the story is true and was told by Josh, someone please find a better citation and a better way to say it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.220.0.99 (talk) 20:54, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
