There is a request, submitted by AJona1992 (talk), for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia.

The rationale behind the request is: "The article, 'Selena' is a featured article and a very interesting article to most viewers.".

On 12 May 2018, it was proposed that this article be moved from Selena to Selena Quintanilla-Pérez. The result of the discussion was not moved.

All prior and subsequent edits to the article are noted in its revision history.

Cherokee

I saw a couple of people say that Abraham Quintanilla denied that Marcella had Cherokee ancestry, although she was born on a reservation, he says that she’s Mexican American. It’s obviously Selena and her family is of Native American decent, judging from their brown complexion, eye shape, nose, etc. most Mexicans are Mestizo, but I could tell that Selena is more Indigenous than Spanish (making her indo-mestiza) it’s also rumored that she’s of Tiwa / Tigua Native American decent SelenaQueentanilla (talk) 20:05, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Selena Tour Date in Tucson, Arizona

Selena and her group performed in Tucson, Arizona at the Tucson Convention Center Exhibition Hall on October 2, 1993 event was produced and promoted by Stevens Film, Video & Music Production - CEO / Oscar H. Stevens II — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.1.152.59 (talk) 23:03, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 25 December 2021

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Selena. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please change:

"catapulting gender Tex Mex into the mainstream market"

into:

"catapulting the [[Tejano music|Tejano]] (or ''Tex-Mex'') genre into the mainstream market"

This is a mistranslation that was introduced two months ago (genre and gender are the same word in Spanish).

It is also clearer to use the term Tejano and keep Tex-Mex in parenthesis since the intro has already used the term Tejano.
