Due to concerns about this article, its content must be properly sourced. Anything that isn't should be reverted. --Michael Snow 05:33, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently to a poorly train simpleton, the article is based on a measly article of poor journalism. The article's editor who has never had any formal trainer as a writer seems to not read the biography posted on the artist's website. He also semes to erase all valid links to the artist, proving that he is not a credible writer or source of information. I would like others to visit the artist website and navigate the entire website. Read the biography and see the ludicrous claims that I originally posted in the proper article. -- --User:XLR8TION

Revisiting this, it seems that even the one reference is not particularly good. Not surprisingly for the industry, it gives what is apparently a false birth year, causing some confusion on the timeline. I find the contrary source more believable, but it has the problem of being little more than an old fanpage. Also, I commented out the birthplace as other sources seem to indicate he was born in Mende, Lozère, and only grew up in Marseille. Basically, there's a lack of decent sources about this person on the internet, and some offline research would be necessary for anything in this article to be reliable. --Michael Snow 23:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

I have removed or commented out material from this article. The sources are poor, and an anglefire fan site is not a reliable source. Please only rebuild with proper sourcing. Particularly be careful with the DOB, where the sources seem to conflict. Please keep in mind the policies on biographies.--Doc^g 10:58, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

help find legitimate sources

ok sources on Quentin Elias are extremely hard to come by on the internet. I had to erase my previous additions due to the unreliability of the sources I have received them from. I am going to my local library and try to find some legitimate information. I would truely love some assistance! --naskgetty (UTC)

minor edits

hey, so I added him to the Arab singers template and did a few minor edits to the info box, such as changing the background color and his name in Arabic. Hopefully this will gather more attention and people can help expand the article! Good luck! --128.54.60.92 7:09, 10 November 2007(UTC)

general notability guideline

As part of the effort to build the criteria for this article, I used the two references listed to cite what information is provided. I searched the artist on Billboard and amazon and both show him and his albums. Here is the weblink for his discography on Billboard. [1]. The article also seems to be in the scope of several wikiprojects. So apparently, there are sources for this artist; however, the editors of the article seem to have trouble citing and editing. I want to expand on this article but I need help. Britneyishot 05:50, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. I need help with the reference because the page is not being redirected like it should when you click on the numbers Britneyishot 05:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Arabic

I removed the "arabic" part in the infobox and at the article's beginning. Quentin Elias may be only a stage name (Quentin is not an arabic name, although Elias could be) so it seemed useless to transliterate it into arabic. Moreover, his actual ethnic background has never been really publicized : many French sources still claim that he is of Spanish descent, even though he himself clarified the matter in one interview. During his French career, he sang in French, and he has been singing essentially in English during his American career, so he does not fit into the "Arabic Pop" category.

Rentboy

It seems that the information about him being listed as "Mike" on rentboy.com is very much accurate. IMHO, the photos count as reliable sources, since not only does the person featured on rentboy looks exactly - and I do mean exactly - like him, but he also has the same tatoo on his right shoulder. Compare here and here. This is a bit too much of a coincidence. So, unless "Mike" is using pictures of Quentin Elias to advertise himself - and I don't think any professional male or female prostitute would actually do that unless he/she wants to lose all of his/her clients after a while - we have to assume that they are the same person. One of the pictures of "Mike" is visibly taken from the same serie of pictures of "Q", aka Quentin Elias : compare the hats. Wedineinheck (talk) 14:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
