Article conventions (please read before posting)

Because the presence of some individuals or groups has been disputed in the past, the convention in this article is that, rather than just a citation, a quotation should be given in the footnote, or a direct link to a webpage, so that entries can be seen to be valid by other editors. Because this is English Wikipedia sources need to be in English, or a translation provided in the citations. Please note that where web page links are given and they go dead, it is likely the entry will eventually be deleted.--SabreBD (talk) 13:36, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

There are a few problems with this.

1. Per Wikipedia policy, sources do not need to be in English.
2. Per Wikipedia policy, sources do not need to be online.
3. Per this guideline, citations are not to be removed when they go dead.

These policies and guidelines can not be overridden by consensus on talk page. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:42, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

On the second two. This statement does not say that sources need to be online, there are lots of paper sources here. It also does not say that dead references will be removed immediately, but "eventually", which is in line with the guideline. On the first one, it seems that the guideline was changed in 2013 and as usual without any real discussion. I will have to think about that and whether I can be bothered to go through the pain of getting the guideline restored, or if I can think of some sort of wording that is useful here and in line with the guideline. If it is not possible to ask for a translation, then this it may be impossible to maintain the quality of this page, which, frankly, is damned near impossible as it is.--SabreBD (talk) 16:03, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

I am astonished that Bob Wills and Spade Cooley, both known widely as the "King of Western Swing" do not appear on this page. I do not have the time or knowledge to add them here but perhaps someone else does. If you go to their individual pages here at Wikipedia you can see that both pages already show that they are known as the "King of Western Swing".

Taylor Swift- Princess of Pop Music and Country

Swift is known for narrative songs about her personal experiences. As a songwriter, she has been honored by the Nashville Songwriters Association and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Swift's other achievements include ten Grammy Awards, one Emmy Award, 22 Billboard Music Awards, 11 Country Music Association Awards, eight Academy of Country Music Awards, and one Brit Award. She is one of the best-selling artists of all time, having sold more than 40 million albums—including 27.1 million in the U.S.—and 130 million single downloads. The album's lead single, "Shake It Off", was released in August 2014 and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.[235] Four further singles have been released; "Blank Space" and "Bad Blood" (featuring Kendrick Lamar) both reached number one in the United States.[236] "Style"[237] and "Wildest Dreams" both peaked in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100.[238] 1989 sold 1,287,000 copies in the U.S. during the first week of release, selling more copies in its opening week than any album in the previous 12 years. This has made Swift the first and only act to have three albums sell more than one million copies in the opening release week.[239] It later became the best-selling album of 2014, selling 3.66 million copies.[240] As of February 2015, 1989 had sold over 8.6 million copies worldwide.[241] Madonna herself called her "Princess of Pop Music" </ref> > 103.16.25.117 (talk) 06:53, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Usher

At the request of Khaire Nuh, "Usher was called Godson of Soul by James Brown." Here's a video 1:39. However, he didn't exactly say "Godson of Soul", but "the new godson". My point of view: this is the only reference of someone calling him like that, not mainstream media referring to him as such. Case similiar to Madonna calling new female popstars, pop princess. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 00:54, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

In response to Cornerstonepicker, James Brown is the "Godfather of Soul", and hence "the new Godson" is an unequivocal reference to specifically being the "Godson of Soul". James Brown has only dubbed one artist as such, being none other than Usher after an established career. Mainstream media as a whole have since tagged along and referred to Usher with that nickname in accordance to that moment. There is no other nickname providable by a media outlet that would provide a higher certification. Khaire Nuh (talk) 14:27, 13 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khaire Nuh (talk • contribs) 02:19, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

@Khaire Nuh:, please can you provide reliable sources that have referred to him with that nickname? (aside from the ones reporting the performance) Cornerstonepicker (talk) 02:59, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

In response to Cornerstonepicker : As explained, the phrase has since its revelation stood respectfully and referred back to, in regards to James Brown initiating it. The honour was given to Usher as a result of his diamond selling album, ergo hugely differs to the Madonna scenario you mentioned, which is intended to compliment potential only ("new female popstars") that is yet to be fulfilled as opposed to rewarding an already accomplished standard amount of work here in Usher's case. The media; specifically music critics have often brought up the nickname given by James Brown in subject matters that revolve around Usher to emphasise a strength, the following are a few examples. The Gaurdian have brought it up despite being outside the context relevancy saying "Usher's status among the greats is already assured: the late James Brown once called him the Godson of Soul." WBUR-FM radio station speaking on Usher's 7th studio album, opening the discussion with "James Brown, the late Godfather of Soul, once crowned the pop singer Usher the Godson of Soul" in the beginning of the interview. The music journalist Chris Nickson authored and published a book about Usher titled " Usher: The Godson of Soul " (ISBN: 9781416909224) [2] The nickname is also included in the majority of his Bio's, for example by Soul Train and TV.com. Khaire Nuh (talk) 14:27, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

@Khaire Nuh: this is for third opinions, please let experienced editors comment. WP:CONS is important. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 07:28, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

@Cornerstonepicker: WP:CONS is important for disputes, but i have clearly provided reliable sources at your demand and request. Can you please explain, if there is, any further dispute you have that would require a third opinion? And why you made that request before my response?

Because you need Wikipedia:Consensus. You cannot post here and just go, "done it!" You need to get consensus here for your proposed change. I am still looking at your sources at the moment.--SabreBD (talk) 15:40, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

David Bowie

I noticed the absence of David Bowie from the page. This is despite him being widely known throughout music as the "King of Glam" and "Master of Reinvention". Surely there are no objections from adding these two nicknames to the page. SomewhereInLondon (talk) 15:41, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Selena Gomez: Pop Princess

• "Pop Shop Podcast: Billboard Music Awards Preview With Selena Gomez, Plus Justin Timberlake's No. 1 Debut". Billboard. Billboard. May 17, 2016. Retrieved 2016-05-18. Our latest show previews the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, and we're joined by a two-time finalist this year, Selena Gomez! We caught up with the pop princess to discuss her hot streak on the charts with her Billboard 200 No. 1 album Revival and her recently launched world tour.
• "Selena Gomez Will Perform in North Carolina, Donate Proceeds to Local LGBT Group". Billboard. Billboard. June 4, 2016. Retrieved 2016-06-04. The pop princess' latest single, "Kill Em With Kindness," rose 22-19 on the Pop Songs airplay chart dated June 11, and follows three No. 1 hits from the Revival album: "Good for You," "Same Old Love" and "Hands to Myself."

Those are the references added by an editor in this article. Here's the problem, is Pop princess an honorific nickname, or is it The Princess of Pop? since the former is not talking about just one person. Every female artist with a hit has been called just 'pop princess' by the way, the latest Ariana Grande. Notice there's only one source (Billboard) calling her like that. I recommend collect other sources that call her Princess of Pop. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 06:45, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

I agree. This is a perennial problem with this type of entry, it is not really a nickname, but usually just a way of saying "she has sold a lot of records and is quite young". However, it if is clearly attached to the person it would fit the criteria.--SabreBD (talk) 08:48, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Policy

Since this involves pop culture in general, shouldn't it be a policy of at least two major sources for a nickname? To guarantee the user is not only based on one source. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 19:11, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Queen/Princess of pop problem

It is obvious, but the use of "queen of pop" or "princess of pop" can be applied to several people. It just implies that that artist was most popular for a bit. Being known widely as THE Queen of Pop would be more worthy of note. That leaves two options, we could delete the many instances of this, since these are not really nicknames, or we can consider them all valid nicknames if they are used on repeated occasions and not worry about multiple use. Opinions welcome.--SabreBD (talk) 13:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Sabrebd, Just an instant research through Google, Madonna + Queen of Pop has 460,000 results, which is more than Michael Jackson + King of Pop with 421,000 results. Her other peers are Janet Jackson with 166,000 results, Mariah Carey with 121,000, Kylie Minogue with 63,200 results, Celine Dion with 59,200. I agree with you that almost every current popular female singers called Princess of Pop by the media, lol. Bluesatellite (talk) 09:33, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Alternatively, adding Katy Perry - Pop Princess

The wiki page already refers to artists such as Brandy, Taylor Swift, Gwen Stefani as 'pop princess'. Adding Katy Perry as 'pop princess' is long overdue. She has been referred to as 'pop princess' in popular media for almost a decade. Some examples:

@Ant361: "Pop Princess" doesn't mean nothing. You are either The Princess of Pop or nothing. The other sources are teasing with the name. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 19:08, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

@Cornerstonepicker: If 'Pop Princess' means nothing, then why has it been used as a nickname for several other artists on the page (eg. Taylor Swift, Gwen Stefani, Brandy, Whitney Houston, etc.)? By that logic, it shouldn't be allowed for these artists, too. Ant361 (talk) 10:50, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Prabhu deva

Prabhu Deva is know as indian michael jackson and called by so in every single indian media's and even introduced as indian mj to Michael Jackson during his India tour on 1996.i've added this here with enough sources atleat twice but it got deleted soon why so?? Akhiljaxxn (talk) 23:34, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Akhiljaxxn I'm not pretty sure for the case of the "Michael Jacksons". Is different case of Madonna for example, when (virtually) every national and worldwide singer is called "Madonna". Those examples came of several decades ago (and not only in the current or during the 2000s) and not for online sources, but academics and popular culture books and shows that is not only a nickname, is a "title". Chrishonduras (talk) 17:47, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Queen and King of Pop

As possible, I always try to explain my edits when I modify something in an article, like this. Because other artists also have been called "King of Pop" or especially the new female performers with "Queen of Pop". So, there is enough material that Madonna and Jackson are ofted called "Queen and King of Pop" and they invented the term. I think that the current version is more neutral because in the case of MJ is very confusing any other statement. Why? (references before Wikipedia):

• Self-proclamed King of Pop or Crowned himself: Billboard, SF Reviews, Entertainment Weekly... etc, etc.
• Sometimes called: New York Times

Rosemarie Garland-Thomson said: "When Jackson, irked by the fact that "They call Elvis [Presley] the King," asked "Why don't they call me that?" he was ... Jackson countered with a campaign to cement his own sobriquet, "The King of Pop," in America's cultural consciousness".

Today US Program said: "In the year 1991, when MTV was still primarily known for playing music videos, a new album from an artist who helped define the channel in the ‘80s was being released. This album was going to be huge, and MTV kicked into high gear promoting its world premiere airing of the first single’s video. The album was called “Dangerous.” The single was called “Black or White.” And the artist? Well, he was suddenly called “The King of Pop".

In the case of Madonna are primarily yesteryear reference before Jackson. Like 1986 or 1987. But the problem is that other singer are also called "Queen of Pop" and the newest are also called "Madonna" even.

I'm not arguing about Michael Jackson. His nickname is very popular worldwide. I just said that is not neutral that we add him in the lead with the statements before my edition because are different (with reliable sources) history of the origin of his nickname. So, I think that now is more neutral. Chrishonduras (talk) 18:27, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Use of the word "invented" is out of context here because it implies they literally coined those phrases themselves, which is inaccurate. Gave it a slight rewording. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 18:44, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, Bookkeeperoftheoccult. I wrote that Alan McGee said: Madonna and Michael Jackson invented the Queen and King of Pop, and took the ideas of rock'n'roll myth-making into the pop world. But your edition is better. I just want that this can be neutral. Regards, Chrishonduras (talk) 18:51, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Edit request on 16 January 2016 EMINEM (honorific nicknames in popular music)

Thx for reading:

    Eminem not mentioned. Edit request: Eminem: crowned "King of Hip Hop" (by the Rolling Stone) my source is strong and respected i would think there really wouldn't  be a reason for this edit not to be made. 

Now, further up on this talk page I see that someone has already requested this edit, and it was declined. (With no strong reason as to why) on Eminem's Wikipedia page itself on the first paragraph y'all call him the king of hip hop already, referencing rollingstone. And when you click on "King of hip hop" it directs you to the "honorific nicknames in popular music" page. But "king of hip hop" is nowhere to be found on the list of nicknames. "Rolling Stone ranked him 83rd on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, calling him the King of Hip Hop" - Eminem's Wikipedia page.

    My point is, there's an inconsistency here. wiki is conflicting/contradicting itself. How are you going to call him "King of hip hop" on the Eminem Wikipedia page (using the same rollingstone reference) and deny putting him on the list of nicknames. (Especially when the "King of hip hop" words are linked to "honorific nicknames" page?

https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Honorific_nicknames_in_popular_music http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/introducing-the-king-of-hip-hop-20110815#ixzz3xtEVaTm0

Question: Are you in any way employed by or somehow related to the Rolling Stone? I just ask because there was some strangely promotional text on a request lower down. --allthefoxes ^(Talk) 15:55, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Answer: No, I am not. I don't think I'm strangely promoting them. It's just a source. And they seem to be a reliable source given the fact that wiki sources them all the time.

Bruno Mars

http://www.bet.com/music/2016/11/18/bruno-mars-24k-magic-interview.html This source mentions him as 'The prince of pop'. I think it's not the same situation as we have with all female singers being called 'The princess of pop' or 'pop princess'. There are only two male artist considered as 'The prince of pop' - Justin Timberlake and now Bruno Mars so I personally think it's worth to include Bruno in this list.

Jennifer Lopez

Hi,

I think Jennifer Lopez should be placed in this source, known as the 'Queen of Dance', 'Queen of Latin' or 'Queen of Latin Pop'. She is known for doing a lot of music covering the genres of: Dance, Dance-Pop, Latin, Latin-Pop, Latin Dance and Hip-Hop. She has created numerous Hip-Hop No.1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 including the: 'I'm Real (Remix) ft. Ja Rule' and 'Ain't it funny (Remix) ft. Ja Rule'.

See her billboard chart history: 

http://www.billboard.com/artist/304444/jennifer-lopez/chart

For the genres she covers see her profile on Wikipedia: 

https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Jennifer_Lopez

Also, she has made various Latin songs such as No Me Ames which was Latin pop (https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/No_Me_Ames), Latin rock song Que Hiciste (https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Qu%C3%A9_Hiciste) and Spanish remixes of her hit songs Love Don't Cost A Thing (Amor Se Paga Con Amor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFv6JsHoCSU) and On The Floor (Ven A Bailar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ_v2QIJrmk).

She is one of the top Latina artists on the planet today, and has had her own Spanish album, and had made a huge it, 'Que Hiciste'. Also, she is known for her huge Dance numbers, being able to dance great performances, see 'Get Right', 'Waiting For Tonight', 'If You Had My Love' and 'many more. To prove how good of a dancer she is watch the 2015 AMA's Celia Cruz tribute from JLo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsKOU-wE3Oo).

This is what her genres revolve around and I hope you consider this by looking at some of her classic songs listen below and place her on this list.

Images

The following discussion is an archived record of a request for comment. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

Closed as no consensus due to low participation and lack of substantiative arguments on how images should be treated or on standards for inlcusion/removal. This RfC should be re-formulated with more-definite options on image inclusion in-line with the Image Use Policy and particularly the display options described there. (non-admin closure) Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 22:27, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

---

Was there previous consensus on the number of images that may accompany this article? At the rate it's going, the images may overwhelm the text. There is also the question of notability. It would be helpful to know the basis for deciding which musicians qualify to appear in the image gallery. As we all know, music is a subjective matter and tastes differ. Lastly, how should the images be placed? should they be in descending alphabetical order?DanJazzy (talk) 00:27, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with the images. The names of the pop singers warrant their images also. Every name of the singer added to the article has properly sourced. Otherwise the page is protected, so only the experienced Wikipedians can edit the article. One thing is pertinent to remember that the editor who has generated this futile discussion has already got edit war warnings and after facing a set back at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, now he intends to resort to such tactics. Umair Aj (talk) 10:34, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Oh dear, I think you misunderstand what is happening here, Umair Aj, and what happened at the ANI thread. You were edit warring too, and you both could easily have been blocked for it. DanJazzy did not face a "setback" at ANI, he (and you) were told to discuss the content issue here. He is doing so. You need to stop with the ad hominem attacks and actually discuss the reasonable issue here, or I will block you from editing. Is that clearer? --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:14, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Floquenbeam, my dear you also misunderstood the point and stop accusing me of hominem attacks. I am just giving my part of the argument and not doing anything for which you are threatening to block me. Frankly speaking, I do not want to be dragged in this issue any more. By the way for the past twenty four hours, I am just minding my own business and I do not have the stigma of edit warring on me prior to that and your powers do not give you the right to belittle me. Is that clearer? Umair Aj (talk) 23:16, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Taking this to your talk page. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:22, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

• Comment - at least the photographs aren't flowing into the References section, but I agree there are far too many. Having photos to the right of a table also disrupts how well the content wraps, and I believe unfairly highlights some artists as supposedly (and arbitrarily) more important than others. I also think the photos distract from the table content, which is the real value of the article. Yvarta (talk) 19:57, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your constructive comments Yvarta What do you suggest as the way forward? I'm foreseeing a scenario where editors arbitrarily add a photo of their favourite musician. Obviously, that won't work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanJazzy (talk • contribs) 20:51, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Sure. If it was up to me, I might recommend looking at some of the fancier multi-photo display formats on pages such as Pop_icon or Detroit, and then perhaps consider adding four to five photos into the top right of the page, completely separate from the tables. Perhaps an ongoing discussion could be opened to vote for which four best represent the "most" famous individuals on the page, in a way that is diverse enough not to simply further entrench systemic bias. I'm sure there would be other ways of going about it too, maybe considering a Gallery section approach, and allowing that to run larger if needed. Yvarta (talk) 21:05, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

• Comment - I think photographs are perfectly fine because the names in the article are well known and renowned ones and every name deserves a photo also. So we are no one to decide who is more famous. Moreover, article has only famous names and it's in the form of a list, so photographs actually don't harm the article. These all names are the names of legends and we have not got this right to categorize them. Every icon deserves his/ her photo also. Another thing to keep in mind is every photo has been uploded on commons and any picture not fulfilling the copy right criteria will be automatically deleted. So it's useless to be worried about it. We should leave the article in its present form. Regards Arjun. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 43.245.8.163 (talk) 04:06, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello Arjun, you state "these all names are the names of legends and we have not got this right to categorize them," I assume insinuating we should not prioritize some as "extra" famous to pick a handful of photos, while others go without photos at all. And yet, you also say "every icon deserves his/ her photo also." Are you recommending that a photo column or gallery be added to the page, so every single entry can have a photo (if one is available)? I wonder, however, if this would draw attention away from the artists who aren't lucky enough to have a photo on the Commons that could be used. In short, while every biography on Wikipedia I agree does deserve a photograph or image, it might not be feasible. And if we do manage to find a photo of almost everyone on this list and include them all, I then worry about spacing and also load time for slower browsers. Yvarta (talk) 20:34, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello Yvarta, you have yourself supported my argument. I am also saying that those artists who have photos should not be messed up and those who don't, they are not sons of lesser God. My argument is simple that this article is comprised of names only and not lengthy paragraphs, so in this case the beauty of article in no way is going to harm. In my opinion it's a wastage of time and effort to wrap in more cognition for this article. This debate wouldn't have taken place for the first instance, if edit warring would have not been there. The editor who started this discussion was initially comfortable but when second editor jumped in, suddenly they found inappropriat photos in the article. So I think we must remain detached commentators and let us not spoil the beauty of it. Regards Arjun — Preceding unsigned comment added by 43.245.11.221 (talk) 22:36, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Comment Thank you IP user. In future, for transparency purposes, it is advised that you sign after your comments. For ease of reference the policy is WP:SIG or WP:SIGNATURE. Back to the matter at hand, Mr. "Arjun", you do note that there are approximately 250 musicians listed on this particular page. If every editor decides to include their favourite musician in the image gallery the whole article will be a mess. Valid questions would arise; for instance, why was the picture of Christina Aguilera included but not Elvis Presley, Robert Johnson or Nina Simone? Music tastes are subjective and vary from individual to individual, from society to society, etc. There needs to be objective criteria spelt out clearly to determine whose photographs should appear in a page like this; or alternatively do away with them all. There is precedence; the same arguments were advanced in [3] DanJazzy (talk) 07:45, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

• Remove images This list is way too long to include images of every performer. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:45, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Adding Nazia Hassan

117.203.194.143 (talk) 16:14, 3 March 2017 (UTC) Respected Editor(s)

While I was reading the honourific Titles page of this site, I saw that you have missed Nazia Hassan in this list. You included Ahmed Rushdie and Noor Jehan from Pakistan but missed out Nazia Hassan (contributions in India and Pakistan) and considered the "Queen of Pop" in south Asia and Pioneer of Modern Pop in south Asia. Nazia Hassan "Queen of Pop" in the subcontinent, she is regarded as the pioneer of Modern Pop in South Asia and has sold over 60 million records worldwide, she was also engaged in philanthropic activities, and was appointed by UNICEF as its cultural ambassador in 1991. I tried editing the page myself but it was secured "against vandalism" hence couldn't do it. Please edit it and include her. Thank you

The accuracy of this article

I believe this article deserves {{Globalize}} or {{Disputed}} perhaps. A number of the nicknames rely on a report from media outlets considered reliable.. but the singer in question is not globally know as such.

Thank you. Base.fan00 (talk) 20:27, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Not done: Thanks for your efforts to improve the article. The entry already cites two reliable sources; it's not clear to me that another is needed. Further, the passage you quote suggests that Houston was in a three-way tie for the title, and not the clear title holder, and qualifies it by speaking only of the 1990s. I'm willing to be persuaded, but you haven't made a compelling case. Rivertorch^FIRE_WATER 01:19, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello, this citation has been used by the other singers listed in the article-Carey, Dion. It is only fair if it is used for those two, to be used with Houston, as well. Also, not using so many sources would be fine, however some artists have 4 or 5 citations for each title. Please see Kylie Minogue, Lil Kim, Madonna, etc.

It is my hope you will reconsider and add this source to Whitney Houston's listing.

Thank you, Base.fan00 (talk) 21:29, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

I read the Huffington Post Canada article, and the reason the writer called Houston the Queen of the Grammys title is (apparently) the number of Grammy Awards and nominations she has received: 7 wins and 18 nominations. So I asked Google what female has the most Grammy's. The answer is Alison Krauss with 27, followed by Beyoncé with 22 wins and 62 nominations. So why aren't they Queen of the Grammy's? It doesn't matter. I suspect that this article started as a lighthearted trivia question that has now grown out of control. Compare the length of the article, the amount of information, and the number of citations to other articles. It's not important enough to debate. The premise of the article is itself subjective and silly.

Literal use of honorifics is required in sources

@Umair Aj: Hey, the purpose of this article is to list honorific nicknames or epithets that are applied literally to musicians. The sources you provided about Ahmed Rushdi do not use any specific nickname or epithet; they do not use the words "father" or "pioneer". Therefore, the entry is not valid. If you find any sources which make literal use of an honorific (e.g. "known as the Father of X"), feel free to provide them. Also, alphabetization is done on the basis of last name, not first name.

Semi-protected edit request on 14 September 2018

Could you please edit the collectives suggestion on this page for Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson by including Godfathers of Techno and that the reference for this and the other title, The Belleville Three should apply to all three of them and not one of them. Here is the source that mentions Godfathers of Techno.

Nicki Minaj

I would like to submit the addition of "Nicki Minaj" as "Queen of Hip-Hop". Nicki has been and is regularly referred to as the Queen of Hip-Hop, as she has had the longest and most successful career in female rap. She's also been recognised as such by her peers.

Katy Perry

I am so sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, but if Lady Gaga is labeled as queen of pop, Katy Perry should be too.

While Gaga has many accomplishments, I think Katy is more than just, the female MJ. Can we edit it?

Katy Perry- Queen of Pop

it is no secret that katy perry has been hailed as the New queen of pop due her incredibly successful albums Teenage Dreams(breaking MJ's record, and thus being called the female MJ as mentioned in the article already), prism, witness, one of the boys and 9 singles on hot 100 of billboard. furthermore, she has record-breaking 3 diamond-certified singles by RIAA. and she did all this under an umbrella genre 'Pop' given below are handpicked articles that named her as the queen of pop.

Persistent removal of sources

DrKava is removing reliable sources again and again from the article despite of being warned several times by an admin. If they have any reservations, they should share them here on talk page.Saminhil (talk) 09:43, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Some of these are quite silly

I'm not sure that this article serves any purpose in the first place, but if it does, it really needs to be trimmed. It looks like the article _was_ rigorously pruned every so often in the first few years, but it's been a long time, and years of nonsense has crept in. From just quickly skimming a single letter (B), it looks like the only criterion for Y being listed as an honorific for X is that someone found any reliable source that once said "X is Y" in any context. For example:

• David Bowie ""Master of Reinvention": This is a plain description, not a title. Even the citing article uses it—in lowercase—alongside another description "rock chameleon".
• Arthur Brown, "God of Hellfire": This is just a famous song lyric. It's not a title, unless "The Walrus" is an honorific title for John Lennon, or "Kurious Oranj" for Mark E. Smith.
• Beyonce, "Queen Bey": Bey is a short version of Beyonce. Is there a whole industry competing to be Queen of All Singers Who Happen to Be Named Bey?

And so on. --157.131.246.136 (talk) 17:10, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Agree. There seem to be no sensible criteria for inclusion. Many of these are just descriptions in not very reliable pop culture sources. --hippo43 (talk) 22:07, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

TFB. One of few interesting articles on Wikipedia. I'm glad one of the entries has been corrected to what it should be. I won't mention which one it was, because the haters would change it for that reason.

My question, why is the word "music" taboo in this article? Wikipedia usually assumes no general knowledge on the part of the reader. Ivy whoever's honorific is apparently one of the rare exceptions, "Queen of Urban Music," instead of just "Queen of Urban," requiring the reader to add the word Music himself. Again, I am thinking of another artist, whose honorific is ____ of ____ Music, but it is not listed that way, apparently to irritate because this article is tainted with the contamination of creativity. Anyway, this article remains one of the best in Wikipedia. I have no reference I can cite, it's just my opinion...The age of fable (talk) 03:15, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Another exception, why does Red Foley get to have his title listed accurately, as "Mr. Country Music," instead of just "Mr. Country?"The age of fable (talk) 04:14, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

What the hell, I'm just going to correct it, and let the haters hate. It is just as supported by reference as is Red Foley's.The age of fable (talk) 04:18, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Typo "Corssover"

Any reason why User:Saminhil reverted this typo correction? It's clearly a typo (see e.g. the cited source). --Zupftom (talk) 10:36, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Is "honorific" even the right word for these nicknames?

In ordinary English usage, "honorific" usually refers to styles and forms of address. The most common honorifics are the everyday salutations—Mr, Ms, Dr, Rev, etc.—but things like "His Majesty" or "Your Grace" or "Major" are also honorifics. Titles like "King of the Netherlands", by contrast, are not honorific. See the Wikipedia article on honorific.

Nobody seems to call these nicknames "honorific" anywhere else, except in crap-site listicles that are clearly based on previous versions of this very Wikipedia article (e.g., Mental Floss or The Top Tens). And it doesn't seem all that likely that anyone actually searches for "honorific nicknames in pop music" (people presumably mostly come here because of pipe-links for things like "Princess of Pop"?).

So, what's the justification for using a key word in the title of the article in an idiosyncratic and confusing way? (Surely not just "the article is from 2008, before Wikipedia had standards"?) --157.131.246.136 (talk) 07:20, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Some of us think the "standards" suck and constitute an irritant, when applied with ignorance. In this context, are you not aware that some people in this list have been ritualistically given purple capes with fur collars and bowed down to like royalty, in good fun? The Godfather of Soul was often decorated with a cape upon exiting from a show. "Elvis has left the building" was announced to audiences to let them know the King was no longer present, and there was no point in screaming and prostrating themselves.The age of fable (talk) 02:05, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Fantasia Barrino and Jennifer Hudson

My suggestion is to add the following titles that I've seen, as these hashtags are now appearing with regularity in regards to these artists, Hudson in particular.

Fantasia Barrino, Goddaughter of Soul (as she continually draws comparisons to Patti LaBelle)

Jennifer Hudson, Princess of Soul.

Hudson's most prominent fanpage uses this title, and it seems to be taking off with other users. After being selected by Aretha Franklin to portray her in the upcoming biopic, this one makes a lot of sense. Citation: Time Magazine https://time.com/5549164/jennifer-hudson-aretha-franklin-song/

I looked into it and while the Twitter account doesn’t have a large following, the Instagram page is at 12k followers and seems to be growing rapidly, so definitely seems like something to consider.

Lukeolney529 (talk) 22:09, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: Only use of Princess of Soul in the Time article was from her own twitter name. This does not show that others are using the title. If you find another reliable source that use these titles in their own voice I will happily add them. --Trialpears (talk) 21:02, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

The Monkees

Considering that the Beatles make it onto the list with the 'Fab Four', it seems appropriate to also include the Monkees, the Prefab Four, as it's both a deliberate callback to the Beatles' nickname and commentary on the origins of the band. There's even another Wikipedia article supporting this. https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Prefab_Four

Could this article add some rules? Like at least 3 different, independent, and reliable sources calling a certain artist a nickname?

cc latest editors @Polo and Apoxyomenus:. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 02:31, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

We can, after all it's expected that we use multiple sources when possible, and needed. Since this is a list, I believe at least 1 source that meet our criteria is enough, and it need not be online. What's important is that the information is strongly supported in the main article. Polo (talk) 05:31, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Sounds good. But at the same time idk if could be a problem with the size of the article. The current version seems just a WP:INDISCRIMINATE example and we have many "obscure" acts. But I tend to support your suggestion after all. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 18:03, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Some of these nicknames aren't actually nicknames. An article just named that artist such name once. Several independent sources using that nickname should be the rule. Not random blogs. I guess 1/4 of the article would be removed. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 17:35, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Paula Abdul

I have found 3 reliable sources, 2 of which refer to her as 'dance queen paula abdul', and the 3rd as 'dancing queen paula abdul'. I am unsure whether both terms would be considered the same, or if 'dance queen' warrants a second row to differentiate from the existing 'dancing queen' in the table. These are the sources: 1)1989, 2)1991, 3)2014. I am confined to online searching only as I don't have access to any printed material. Would appreciate someone reviewing these because I don't want to presumptively edit the table given the current "Rules" discussion above. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 19:21, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Mistaken information.

Just because some publications attatch a certain nickname to an artist that does mean they actually belong to him/her. It is only the case when the AUDIENCE, THE PUBLIC calls the artists by that nickname. For example, Lady Gaga and Whitney Houstom have both been called "Queen of Pop", the public do not call them by that, though. When stating "Queen of Pop", one thinks of Madonna. 2804:14D:4C89:88B6:D5D3:3E70:D737:273E (talk) 20:09, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson is not only known as the "King of Pop". Before Thriller he was called "The Gloved One" by the media. Around Bad and Dangerous he mostly was called "King of Pop, Rock & Soul". For HIStory and until now he was defined as the "King of Pop"! This was due to the HIStory album teaser, where fans hold papers with "King of Pop" written on it. Also in 2008 a worldwide compilation series called King of Pop was published. With "King of Pop" it is more meant to honor him not only as a musician but as a entertainer and global person. So "King of Pop" means not only King of Pop-music but King of Pop-culture. Just as Elvis Presley is meant to be "King of Rock'n'Roll-culture". But when it concerns only of the musical access: Michael Jackson is here and there called the "King of Pop, Rock, Disco, Soul & R'n'B".

This article is not only for nicknames, but "honorific nicknames". What is so honorific about "The Gloved One"? Bluesatellite (talk) 03:41, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Bloated, WP:TRIVIA, and WP:INDISCRIMINATE

It seems like every artists has an entry on this page, literally everybody, although they're not necessarily known by the listed nicknames. I propose a more restriction to this article. We should only make an entry if the nickname is supported by at least three different reliable sources and the nickname should be mentioned in the title of the articles/book sources. I try to WP:BOLD and have started with some biggest names in music first. Bluesatellite (talk) 02:36, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Bluesatellite, I agree that this article is a trivia magnet, but there is no basis in policies or guidelines that something must be mentioned in the title (headline) of an article. Headlines are far less reliable than the body of an article, especially for online publications that have clickbait motivations. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:44, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Cullen328 I know that there's no specific guideline for that. A "single mention" within the article itself is also not enough IMO to justify notability of the subject's nickname. By being mentioned on the title at least we don't have to fill the |quote= parameter which is used in many entries here (and it saves bandwidth). Bluesatellite (talk) 02:55, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Bluesatellite, "notabity" is a concept that applies to the overall topic of an article, not to specific items included in the article. There are zero concerns about bandwidth on Wikipedia. The WMF is rolling in cash and can easily afford to host ten times more good content. Quotes are a good thing, within reason. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:16, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Cullen328 Alright, then what's your proposal to make it a better article? There are tons of rising stars and newcomers who will get mentioned trivially on the press as "The King" or "The Queen". I propose one and you seem denying it. Bluesatellite (talk) 03:20, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

If we are going to agree to something more restrictive than a single reference to a reliable source, which is the usual standard for inclusion in a list article, then I can support a requirement for at least two references. I do not much like this type of trivia article, but readers seem to like it. Requiring reliable sourcing is the best we can ask for, and I will vigorously oppose any restrictions based on headlines or titles. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:31, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Alright, then I don't have to waste my time on this page. I don't think your criteria would bring this article to a better form (especially the bloated weight issue), so I'll leave it now. Regards. Bluesatellite (talk)

Bluesatellite, if your original proposal did not achieve consensus (and the conversation is still young), then why not collaborate toward a consensus proposal? That's how we improve the encyclopedia, after all. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:07, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Ref cleanup

Bluesatellite you might want to look into that tool(?) you just used to expand some citations. It duplicated writers names for some sources twice in the same ref, and put 'Reuters Staff' in 'last'+'first' for another. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 06:40, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Then fix it yourself. I'm not the creator nor the editor of that tool. Bluesatellite (talk) 06:46, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Bluesatellite there's literally no need to be rude. It doesn't matter if you didn't create the tool. You were the one who made the edit so I'm mentioning it to you. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 07:01, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

I thank you if you really do the citations manually. PS: If you care enough with the article, then don't forget to help remove fancruft material such "The Biggest Boy Band in the World" or "The Most Dangerous Band in the World". There's really nothing honorific about them. Cheers. Bluesatellite (talk) 07:25, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

American singer/songwriter 'Chris Brown' is numerously referred to as the 'King of RnB'.

 Not done: these articles seem to be describing a debate as to whether or not Chris Brown qualifies for the title of "King of R&B", I don't think they're describing that it is an actual recognizable nickname for him, like for instance, "King of Pop" would be for Michael Jackson. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 18:32, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Katy Perry - Queen of Pop

Katy Perry has been referred to several times as either "Queen of Pop" or "New Queen of Pop" owing to her massive success in the 2010s. She's also been voted as Pop Icon of the 2010s Decade by The Tylt in a major poll. Since we're going with any names that have been used in the past for these musicians, I think it'd be weird not to include these. Sources below.

Sourcing

Notability-wise, for these entries to be considered nicknames and not some one-time riff by a single florid writer, I think each item needs a minimum of two articles using that nomenclature in order for this page to be accurate. 2603:6010:4703:EEB8:E466:114:9338:5808 (talk) 03:08, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Yes, that would help to cut down the list, but it could make the already huge reference section even larger. For instance, the total article size in kilobytes would increase if your proposal cuts out 33% of the entries, because the remaining 67% would have double referencing.

You might want to start a WP:Request for comment to change the inclusion criteria here to require two references per entry. Binksternet (talk) 03:53, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Nicknames that are not honorific

I don't see how Sammy Hagar's "The Red Rocker" or Billy Joel's "The Piano Man" are more than just simple nicknames. How would those nicknames be "honorific"? Same with James Brown's "Mr. Dynamite", Whitney Houston's "The Voice", and Eric Clapton's "Slowhand". We should remove the simple nicknames. Binksternet (talk) 22:34, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

I also agree with that. There is a lot of "simple" nicknames for many artists. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 00:13, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Agreed. Per article's intro, "Honorific" nicknames are religious, familial, or royal and aristocratic. None of the examples above meets this criteria. Bluesatellite (talk) 17:16, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Certainly "Slowhand" was far from an honorific: "Clapton's nickname of "Slowhand" came from Giorgio Gomelsky, a pun on the slow handclapping that ensued when Clapton stopped playing while he replaced a string." What about "The Bolshy Manchy Git"? lol Martinevans123 (talk) 17:28, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Seems like there are other titular names which are honorific. "The Professor", "The Doctor of", "Ambassador of", "The First Lady of", and so on. Shouldn't these be included? -- Mikeblas (talk) 13:56, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Those seem honorific to me, too. Binksternet (talk) 16:06, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
