Mac Miller died on the 6th, not the 7th. September 6th, 2018 75.110.167.118 (talk) 21:05, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: From the source cited in the article: "Mac was found Friday at around noon at his San Fernando Valley home and was pronounced dead at the scene."[1] —C.Fred (talk) 21:11, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Section lengths

I am not familiar with the work of the late Mac Miller but this article seems lop-sided, with his older work having long sections and the new albums getting about a paragraph each. Per the discography page, all of these charted in the higher end of the Billboard charts, so it's not like his career slowed down or he dropped out of the public eye. Should the latter sections have expand tags? Anarcho-authoritarian (talk) 17:48, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Mac Miller was an American rapper?!

Why is he distinguished as an "American rapper" when other rappers aren't. I'm suggesting we leave it at "was a rapper". If anything he was anti-American.

He was a natural-born American citizen, thus "American rapper". "Other rappers aren't" isn't a valid reason not to include it. Strikerforce^Talk 13:48, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Rap came from "Jamaican Toasting", and a Jamacian is credited with starting rap in America. Therefore, "American rapper" seems appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.55.165 (talk) 06:42, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Just sayin'.... Wikipedia itself says that's not true... Influenced ≠ Initiated.. 47.28.180.228 (talk) 17:30, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Saucy^{[talk – contribs]} 04:19, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Alleged final girlfriend

Please do not add about his alleged final girlfriend. Not only is this only covered in tabloid sources like OK, Mirror and Lad Bible, it's even disputed by another woman [2]. Per WP:BLP, "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by an inline citation to a reliable, published source. Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion". I am sure the world's media are investigating whether this is a real relationship and will publish a story about it if true. Until then, users reserve the right to revert this addition per BLP Anarcho-authoritarian (talk) 16:26, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Discrepancies

Hello, There are quite a few issues with the ‘Death’ portion on this page, it’s frustrating. I’d like to discuss w wiki or the author for corrections to be made. Out of respect for the deceased, his family , friends and fans. Thank you. WikiusernamePs23 (talk) 01:36, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

First time discussing/chatting on wiki page so not 100% how this works.  His friend didn’t call citing cardiac arrest, his friend called 911 and the operator reported it as possible cardiac arrest. He had already passed away when his friend called. He had been deceased for quite a few hours prior to help arriving.     Also, there is no news whatsoever I have a funeral taking place. The articles cited stated specifically that the funeral will take place at the cemetery mentioned, not already buried there.  How does it work, who wrote the page and locked it. Shouldn’t people be reporting factually if it’s going up on wiki ? I’m smart phone and  for some reason unable to read My comment  prior to posting.

Lack of Consistency

There is a lot of explanation on Blue Slide Park and Watching Movies With the Sound Off, however there is very little explanation of his later albums Swimming and Devine Feminine (Mattlong50 (talk) 22:55, 4 October 2018 (UTC))

Mattlong50 I brought this problem up when I first saw this page after his death. These last albums should be expanded because they were of a similar commercial success to the formers. I can only assume that the original main contributor to this page moved on to other projects. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the artist to expand these sections.

cause of death

why dont we have this updated yet — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.209.248.169 (talk) 18:45, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Death in lead

MOS:LEADBIO says "Unless the cause of death is itself a reason for notability, a single sentence describing the death is usually sufficient, and often none is included in the lead at all, just a death date". I put one sentence with a source. I see literally nothing wrong in including one line on the source of death. 26-year-old wealthy Americans do not normally die, and I'm sure that a reader unfamiliar with the subject would want to know why he died at such a young age - we're not describing a 99-year-old dying of natural causes.
