Birthplace

Article has a source making claim that the subject of the article was born in Lemon Grove, California. Yet it links to San Diego. Each is a different incorporated city in San Diego County, California. There are no hospitals in the city of Lemon Grove. Nearby hospitals include Alvarado Hospital, Sharp Grossmont Hospital, Paradise Valley Hospital California, and others. Article states that father was in the military, so it is possible that the subject was born at Naval Medical Center San Diego, but that's conjecture at my part. Also article states that subject's mother is from around Hiroshima; the nearest American military base to there is Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni. That said, where was the subject really born?--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 01:21, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are making a big assumption that he was born in a hospital. Most humanoids since 1,000,000 yers ago were not born in hospitals. Unless you have a fact, you might as well let it go. Cheers 2001:569:BC04:9B00:7541:F55D:3589:F2D9 (talk) 19:58, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Most people in the United States are born in a medical setting, often in a hospital. Therefore, it's not a big assumption at all. Also, not all sources say that the subject of this article was born in Lemon Grove with other sources make no mention of Lemon Grove at all, but only say San Diego such as allmusic, and GoPride. --RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 05:52, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think the page subject himself verifying something is probably accurate? Let's just go with that... {see GoPride source} Isingness (talk) 09:21, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Isingness: to that point, the GoPride source makes no mention of Lemon Grove, but only of San Diego.

(Conan Gray) I’m half Irish and half Japanese. Both of my names are super Irish. I was born in San Diego and then went to Hiroshima, Japan for a couple of years. My dad went into the military and we went to Texas. Most of my growing up was in Texas.

Therefore, since there are conflicting reliable sources, we should reach a consensus on which is most commonly stated or more accurate, and create a footnote stating the inconsistency, using Template:efn.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 19:03, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New single

Conan released a new single titled “Overdrive” on February 19, 2021. 2600:1700:DA60:E010:1489:5396:C6EF:A50D (talk) 12:40, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

?

So, it says that Conan is going to have a second album called "Worlds Apart" with the single "Astronomy" on it, but not "Overdrive." I'm 99.9% sure that the album thing is false. I Googled Conan Gray news and nothing about a second album came up.. not even on his Twitter. Please fix and/or confirm! 2600:1700:DA60:E010:90F1:9E8D:386B:A6D9 (talk) 01:14, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, there hasn't been an album announcement, nor is there any information about the singles being on it. I think it's better to revert this edit, it should only be added once there is an official announcement which can be cited Dries00 (talk) 19:38, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Repeated spam

I've noticed people repeatedly coming in and adding fake info to this bio. I unfortunately don't know how to edit and in my attempt to fix it I fixed the info (I think) but screwed up the formatting. I hope someone can fix. 98.174.92.73 (talk) 00:44, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
