Space Cowboy

Space Cowboy should be added to Associated Acts cause he toured with her and produced for her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.228.139.26 (talk • contribs) 03:32, 21 September 2009

Please use a more specific IMDb template. See the documentation for available templates.
Lady Gaga on Interscope Records
Lady Gaga on Last.fm
Template:Myspace
Lady Gaga at Twitter

I've restored the IMDB link: that's a standard inclusion for performers (and is not covered at WP:ELNO). I agree with the removal of the MySpace and Twitter links: even if official, they're still social networking sites.

That leaves her pages at Interscope and Last.fm. The latter is a social-type page, since Last.fm is a music sharing/referral service. The former is her label's page on her. It includes news, conert dates, and other information which parallels her official page. I think that might qualify as a useful resource, but I'm borderline. Does anybody else agree that it, or any of the others, should be back in? Or that IMDB should be pulled? —C.Fred (talk) 15:11, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gaga not with Akon Live label

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-3ZitX6vLw

Skip to 2 mins and 40 seconds, she herself says that she is not signed to Kon Live —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rafichamp (talk • contribs) 05:14, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

She says "I'm not signed to Konvict Muzik," which is Akon's other label. Evidently these interviewers didn't do their homework, but nor did you for attempting such a blatant edit. Imperatore (talk) 06:33, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Third Album X-Posed

Here is the source http://www.billboard.com/album/lady-gaga/x-posed/1312917#/album/lady-gaga/x-posed/1312917 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.81.101.13 (talk) 17:53, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yet the sidebar says Gaga only has two albums. I'm not sure this tells us anything conclusive yet, at least not on its own. —C.Fred (talk) 18:15, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quick google search revealed that it's a CD compilation of interviews, hence the title "x-posed". Seems like nothing more than grey market merchandise. Imperatore (talk) 18:56, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

STEFANI GERMANOTTA - RED & BLUE

I demand that someone update this page with more information about her "Red & Blue" album because that is a very important career highlight yet it's completely unmentioned because everyone is so obsessed with her work ONLY as "Lady GaGa" and NOT as herself Stefani Germanotta. PLEASE FIX THIS RIGHT NOW! 190.59.5.155 (talk) 20:00, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Got links to a couple of reliable sources I can use to write about it? —C.Fred (talk) 20:55, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, that was Stefani Germanotta. This page is on the lady GaGa persona, rather than the person behind it
