Sources

Foamspring appears to be a self-published, and thus is not reliable--for example, there's no proof that the person commenting is the subject. YouTube is even worse; on the one hand, it's unreliable since anyone can post anything without; on the other, the problem is that most videos don't have proof that they are being posted by the copyright holder. This means we can't link to them (even in External Links), because of worries about being caught up in copyright infringement.
If you want to add this info, you will need reliable secondary sources (magazine/television interviews, or publications on notable and reliable websites). Qwyrxian (talk) 12:45, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that Wikipedia does not want to get in trouble with copyright with YouTube. That's understandable. However, Twitter accounts though, are often used as sources across Wikipedia. Why are those sources being removed with that information? Especially when it is coming from a Twitter Verified account, meaning that this information is coming from the person in subject? Stunners (talk) 12:52, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if there is a link from the verified Twitter account to her Formspring page, confirming that it is indeed hers, does that make it reliable? Stunners (talk) 12:53, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've checked more closely. Per WP:SELFPUB, it looks like the Twitter info is reliable. Here's the details:

Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, especially in articles about themselves, without the requirement that they be published experts in the field, so long as:

  1. the material is not unduly self-serving;
  2. it does not involve claims about third parties (such as people, organizations, or entities);
  3. it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject;
  4. there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity;
  5. the article is not based primarily on such sources.
Twitter's verified accounts appear to be fairly safe, although I'm not 100% certain. If I have time, I will check into it later; for now, that info can stay. I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of "transferring" that authenticity to a third site; however, if any editor with more experience dealing with Twitter and/or Foamspring tells me otherwise, that info could come in. In any event, I don't think that it will hurt the article to leave the info from Foamspring out for now. Remember, on a WP:BLP, we have to be extra careful to get everything right.
As a final note, I just now noticed that your username is the same as the band in which the subject appears. If you are directly involved with the subject or her band (either as the subject herself or as a business associate), please read up on Conflict of Interest. It's okay to edit pages you are personally involved in, but you need to be extra careful to make sure that all of your edits are neutral and well-sourced. Happy editing, and, if I can, I'll check back in a few more days with anything I find out about using verified Twitter as a source.

Removed Formspring and Youtube Sources

I removed the sources from YouTube and Formspring, but I kept the sources from Twitter, seeing as the account is Verified by Twitter, meaning that the account is in fact, Tinashe Kachingwe's real twitter and everything tweeted from the page, is from her.

Caucasian in not a nationality

Caucasian is not a nationality and, because the Caucasus region spans several countries, it is not clear what country it refers to. I suggest that this is either corrected and referenced or that the nationalities of the parents are removed entirely. --DanielRigal (talk) 10:34, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Added new sources, and will continue to add them, not directly associated with the artist, as well as fixed the parent's race issue. Stunners (talk) 10:54, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to Tinashe. Favonian (talk) 10:28, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tinashe (singer) → Tinashe – The British male singer, Tinashé formally occupied the page Tinashe but has since been moved to a page which uses the correct spelling. The American female singer Tinashe currently sits on Tinashe (singer). She has a larger page, more sources, more information, and I request that she be moved the to correct spelling of her name, the page Tinashe while keeping the note at the top, also noting the male singer's new, correct page. Stunners (talk) 10:36, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography

What are the problems with the filmography section? It was citied for cleanup, yet given no reason on the talk page. I'd be happy to help, but I'm not sure what needs improving. Stunners (talk) 20:21, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources Issue

If you're going to cite this article with problems with sourcing, please leave a note on the talk page with what issues you have with it. Sources are all verifiable sources, and reliable (all 44 of them), I made sure of that. If there is an issue, please explain SPECIFICALLY which sources you believe are not reliable. Thank you. Stunners (talk) 10:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Only six or seven sources cited are the subject's twitter account, and even those are kind of "self-serving" and used to puff things up: "clarified on Twitter that 'Chainless' was a 'fun, character [song], dedicated to the west'" for example. Her website (possibliy a primary source?) is cited several times (although the link doesnt even lead to what's being cited), and with BLP articles on relatively unknown subjects should focus on higher quality, secondary sources that include material only relevant to the subject's notability. Apart from one reference to an MTV article on her "buzz", the rest are mostly amateur blogs. Dan56 (talk) 23:21, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
