Name

If her name is actually a-lan zla-ba sgrol-ma in Wylie, then it is Alen Dawa Drölma in the THDL system, not "Alan", since the "standard" Tibetan pronunciation would be [álɛ̃ dàwa ɖø̀lma] (perhaps without the [l]). The fact that she goes by "alan" is probably because that's the Chinese pronunciation, and it might also be because it is pronounced that way in her local dialect.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 21:30, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Honestly I think you are correct. But let's leave it this way lest it gets too confusing. 129.130.204.26 (talk) 15:56, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm just suggesting that we remove dubious information. Do we have a source for the Wylie/Tibetan spelling of her name? Since the THDL spelling is intended to show a standard/Lhasa pronunciation, it isn't really appropriate for this article, since Alan is from elsewhere and her cultural relevance is not based in the Tibetophone world.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 17:45, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fashion model

In Japanese fashion model business, most top models are tied to one magazine. They have to contract exclusivity. Currently, alan is regarded as a popular model in one of the most famous Japanese fashion magazine AneCan. For this reason I added alan to the fashion model.--Mogaop (talk) 09:51, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And as I said, modeling for one magazine does not make her a model nor does it warrant a new infobox. It doesn't matter if she has an exclusive contract with them or not. For her to be considered a model she has to have experience in the model industry, working for more than one company. You can mention in the article with a reliable source that she has been chosen to model for AneCan, but she doesn't need her own infobox. Remember first and foremost Alan is a singer, everything else can just be written in the article. Look at Jennifer Lopez, she's a singer and actress but they don't use two infoboxes. They focus on her main career and mention the second career in the article. 月 (Moon)暁 (Sunrise) 12:33, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted the article. Which is your opinion?
1. She is a singer, not a fashion model.
2. She is a singer and a fashion model, but Wikipedia shoulde not put two infoboxes for one preson.
AneCan is not her first job as a model. And also she says, "I am a model" at http://ameblo.jp/alan-avex/entry-10258032730.html . I believe your opinion is 2. However, I cannot find the Wikipedia rule, "No two infoboxes". --Mogaop (talk) 16:19, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would say two also. What's the point of having two infoboxes when all the information is the same? The only difference is you list her height, eye and hair color. You have no source saying that she model for any other company. I strongly suggest you read WP:BRD and reach consensus before reverting again. She says she's a model, so what? A next infobox still is not needed. 月 (Moon)暁 (Sunrise) 17:00, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese discography

Has anyone else noticed that while her Japanese discography is well and up-to-date, there is little information of her Chinese discography? There is no article for "Chi Bi: Da Jiang Dong Qu" (Red Cliff: The Great River Flows West) or her 2 full-length Chinese albums with Avex "Xin De Dong Fang" and "Lan Se: Love Moon Light" (Blue Color: Love Moon Light). --115.64.132.128 (talk) 05:28, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
