Master's degree

Did she really get a Master degree? Or just a BA?

Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg's steady girlfriend is also named Priscilla Chan!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by SpeakFree (talkcontribs) 00:03, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So she is Mark Zuckerberg's girlfriend?

She look too old. 206.248.152.209 (talk) 09:15, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No she is not. There is more than one Priscilla Chan in the world. Mark Zuckerberg's gf is a third-year American medical student, not a Hong Kong pop singer. Get your facts straight. Melba1 (talk) 17:10, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

– When I search Priscilla Chan, I do not means this singer. So that recommends to refer the disambiguation back. Zero00072 (talk) 07:53, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Neutral probably Mark Zuckerberg's wife is better known in America, but here on en.wp she's only a mention in her husband's article. Wheras in books the Cantopop singer is still more notable. If the move gathers support then move Priscilla Chan (disambiguation) over the baseline. User:Zero00072 are you going to help fix all the broken links if the move goes ahead?

    • Reply Allthough she is only mention in her husband's article, many people will confuse that "Is she a singer?", absolute not I think. I do not want to introduce her as a singer as I am stupid again. So the disambiguation page is more clearly shows there are not only one. I will help fix the wrong link in my free. Zero00072 (talk) 13:33, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, not convinced but not opposing. In fact I would support (singer) being added even if Priscilla Chan primary redirects to the singer. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:00, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Only person here by that name with an article. Zuckerberg's wife is known only for being Zuckerberg's wife (i.e. WP:NOTINHERITED) and only has a couple of lines in his article. Better to put a hatnote from this article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:40, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply You may follow the rule of WP:INTHENEWS. We known her by newspapers. "Who is Priscilla Chan?". Zero00072 (talk) 13:53, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Although there are no her own page now, someone will build one. Follow the rule WP:REDLINK. Zero00072 (talk) 14:17, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, but she probably isn't notable enough for an article in the first place. What has she done in her own right? See WP:INHERITED. Just being written about because you're the spouse of someone famous doesn't make you worthy of an article. In addition, (a) we do not disambiguate unless we need to at the time, and (b) she is no longer Priscilla Chan anyway! -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:34, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I've created Priscilla Chan (philanthropist). With the recent announcement of Chan and Zuckerberg's huge charitable foundation, she's now definitely notable in her own right as a philanthropist, and better known than the singer. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I mentioned this move request at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Priscilla Chan (philanthropist). 210.6.254.106 (talk) 04:04, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support having 'Priscilla Chan' as disambiguation page, as both names are relatively well known. Peco Wikau (talk) 21:47, 9 December 2015 (UTC).[reply]
  • Support now that Priscilla Chan (philanthropist) exists. Gap9551 (talk) 21:54, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I have known the Hong Kong singer all my life, and I bought one of her albums (actually, a rerelease). Sad to say, she no longer surpasses the other Priscilla Chan mainly due to Westerners' perception of the HK culture and sole attention to Mark and his wife and Facebook. Still, both are equally prominent. --George Ho (talk) 04:32, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. The wife of Mark Z is notable per WP:GNG (as overwhelmingly confirmed at the recent AfD), and also at least as notable as the singer. Disambiguate is best.  — Amakuru (talk) 21:59, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
