Edit request from Doorpick, 6 April 2010

Kim is a true fashionista. She began as a wardrobe stylist for the biggest hollywood stars. She can be seen wearing many designs from her and her sisters Dash boutique or her most common outfit: skinny jeans paired with a jacket and a chunky necklace.
Kim is truly only famous because she comes from a rich family. Do to having anything you want at your finger tips & a sex tape = Celebrity status in the US of A. Sadly! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.115.190.94 (talk) 21:13, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Kim Kardashian became famous after the sex tape
Kim Kardashian became famous after the sex tape as Paris Hilton's friend who made a sex tape that leaked. After that infamy, Then came Keeping Up with the Kardashians. So why does it say in the first line that she is known best for her role in that show? In fact she is known best for her sex tape. AnwarSadatFan (talk) 04:11, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Kim was already scheduled for her "Keeping Up..." show prior to the video; further, mainstream television exposure work cannot realistically be compared to an internet video.
71.231.13.199 (talk) 21:47, 26 March 2011 (UTC)That is a weak response. No one knew who she was or cared about her story until she became the second rich socialite to have a sex tape leaked. The sex tape generated interest in her reality show and in her story in general. The sex tape should be mentioned much more prominently in this article. That's what is supposed to be the great part about Wikipedia, people edit the articles until a consensus article appears. However, her article is locked and this is the only place where feedback can be entered. All thanks to Wikipedia, "the free encyclopedia that ANYONE CAN EDIT!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.13.199 (talk) 21:42, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

- Kim is know to have a very large butt size, however Kim declares that its due to her Armenian blood and small legs.
- She has claimed in press reports that she is: “I’m 35-26-40. My dress size is a 4 or a 2/4. I wear a size 4 skirt and size 27 jeans.”
- Having owned her own Beauty Salon, Kim takes pride on her face, however she has been caught a few times without it.

- She founded the upscale Calabasas fashion boutique "Dash," with her sister Kourtney and had customers such as Paris Hilton as customers.

Does she meet criteria of notability?
Who she actually is? Selebutante/socialite -- it's not enough for notability. Producer -- probably not enough too. Model -- just posing nude for Playboy -- is this enough. Actress? One episode on some marginal show plus minor role in some marginal movie with 2% review on Rotten Tomatoe. Can anybody explain why she has an article? Yurivict (talk) 00:27, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- Lessee... focal character on a reality TV show (Keeping Up With the Kardashians) for starts. And pretty much being an absolute media darling helps (see this photo on Flickr from one of my favorite contacts for some indication). Tabercil (talk) 01:12, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- She's pretty much a household name in some areas, which means she's the subject of so many independent sources that she's likely notable 10x over. Clamshell Deathtrap (talk) 01:26, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- So she played in the show showing how famous her family is and this made her famous too. This makes a lot of sense. :-) Yurivict (talk) 02:48, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Constantly referred to as 'Kardashian'
Kim Kardashian is constantly referred to by her surname throughout the article. It's jarring to read and would be much smoother if she were either referred to as Kim or Kim Kardashian, especially as the article frequently mentions her sisters. Palice4 (talk) 14:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
Her Ethnicity
I have discussed the issue of ethnicity in the infobox several times and had a consensus that it should not be emphasized by putting it in the infobox or in the first paragraph of the article unless it's highly crucial and relevant to the issue. So I think in this case it should be removed as well.-- And Rew 01:18, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
I am confused. I have taken genetics and biology. You get 50% of the DNA from each parent. Her mother is 100% Scot/Dutch (under Kris Jenner in Wikipedia and 100% English under Kim Kardashian in Wikipedia) and her father is 100% Armenian (except her great-grandmother is Turkish/Armenian.) How can she be 94% Armenian and 6% Native American? Warren —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.154.232.44 (talk) 01:10, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes, the DNA test was read out completely wrong by the host as she can only be 50% Armenian not 94%. Her sister had her dan test results read out by George Lopez too and was given as 97% European which is surly how it was written on the card. It's just a mistake by the host. As for he mother being scots Dutch as said by Kim herself, in a re net interview she just said she was English, so it's not as she doesn't know her mothers ancestry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.180.182.92 (talk) 16:43, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
Jonathan Cheban
Why does Jonathan Cheban redirect to Kim Kardashian? I realize she produces his show and is a friend, but as near as I can tell they're not the same people.

Kardashian and Black Men: No Need For Explanation
This article states that "Despite dating three African-Americans in the past, Kim stated she is not exclusively attracted to black males." Is it necessary to even mention this? What kind of men should she be attracted to? "Her own kind?" What kind is that? It's just an odd comment to me because if you only date people of your same skin color, there's no comment on that. But if you date more than one person of a different color, you have to defend yourself. I think this doesn't make sense.
Agree, why the fuck is it even in the article?
This is something that she has been asked by the public about her and she answered and therfore should be in the article. AnwarSadatFan (talk) 02:50, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't sex tape be mentioned as the start of her career?
It would make sense to place information about her sex tape information underneath 'Career', as this is essentially the first thing that made her famous.
67.200.198.242 (talk) 23:37, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose Career and fame are two different things. Even if the sex tape helped her career in the beginning, it is irrelevant to her career, and only relevant to her fame. --QuickEditor (talk) 20:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
- Agree. It is not as if she is a porn actor, therefore it is not a part of her career. - Sitush (talk) 20:56, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, since she performed in a porn movie, she most definitely is a porn star. JetBlackSunrise (talk) 01:10, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

- Heh, quick to remove my comment. Well, here is something that isn't libelous. trends of search queries for Kim Kardashian. As we can clearly see by the graphs, she was a complete unknown until the beginning of 2007, which at that point her popularity on the internet spikes. The opening of her reality show in October later that year doesn't really spike any higher. Matter of fact, her name as a search query doesn't rise about that initial early 2007 spike until she starts getting substantial news coverage. Oddly enough, if we expand this search query to "Kim Kardashian sex tape" here we can see that the popularity of that search term quickly died out early 2007 but made a miraculous come back months later right around the time her show aired, and has slowly risen ever since.

I feel the list is misleading in it's current state. The "breakout" role should be included, regardless of controversy.

Early life question
In the early life section, it states that her father is third-generation Armenian-American. But then it says that her great-grandparents left Armenia for the US. Wouldn't that make her father second-generation (first-generation would be grandparents, then father)? Cervenka (talk) 08:53, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- If I recall correctly, and based on what this article says, the immigrants themselves count as the "1st generation". By those standards, this breakdown is as follows:
- Kim's great-grandparents (1st generation Americans)
- Kim's grandparents (2nd generation Americans)
- Kim's father (3rd generation)
- Kim (4th generation)
- When doing a Google search, it does appear that there is confusion on who classifies as a "first generation" or a "second generation" person. Acalamari 10:11, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Animal activist group PETA denies being involved with the attack, yet has agreed to pay for legal fees.[6] In June 2010, The Guardian commented on her ability to attract payments of up to US$10,000 from sponsors for each tweet that she broadcasts.[45] Kim is considered to be one of the most sexiest women alive> — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.245.193.11 (talk) 16:31, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Sex tape settlement
The lead states that the lawsuit "resulted in a court awarding her $5 million." On the other hand, in the first paragraph of subsection Life and career (2007–08), the article states that "Kardashian dropped the suit and settled with Vivid Entertainment for $5 million." A settlement is not decided by the court, but by the plaintiff and defendant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.233.81.133 (talk) 14:41, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Page depicts Ms. Kim Kardashian as an entrepreneur. Ms. Kardashian is in actually a strumpet of the highest degree and has accumulated wealth by legally whoring out her family and exploiting young females' insecurities about their own bodies and existence.
Please put in a footnote saying this individual does not come from the education nor legitimate family background to receive such accolades as depicted on the wikipedia page.

intro and factor in fame
I've never heard of the Ray J. sex tape... I don't think it hit the mainstream as hard as the Paris Hilton or Pamela Anderson's. I think most know of her rise through the reality TV show with her family and not the sex tape. Could we take out emphasis?--Aichik (talk) 23:44, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
Actually her sex-tape had a huge part in her rise to fame, so did the reality show, but the sex-tape largely as well. It would be ridiculous to not give the sex-tape emphasis on of her rise to fame in my opinion. No reason for it to be removed or the emphasis on the importance of it too. ShawntheGod (talk) 15:37, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
about the sex tape
At around 1 minutes 10 seconds in the sex tape, Kim Kardashian is filmed saying "everyone that thinks my boobs are fake, they're real."
At around 1 minutes 30 seconds in the sex tape, Ray J is filmed saying "[inaudible] .. chain to it all I told you... man... Ray J... I'mma let you hear you something homies, when you jacking off to this ... and when you just really in your zone ... go hard on 'em homie". Ray J is making a motion with his right arm as if he is masturbating. Some part of it is hard to understand because Ray J is chewing on chewing gum and not making a full sentence. While this is happening Kim Kardashian is lying on a bed behind him. Kim Kardashian does not seem distressed by what Ray J said.
At around 37 minutes in the sex tape, Kim Kardashian is filmed looking in the camera, and saying "Hey everybody, it's Kim, I just really wanna [pause] I'll just show you". She then starts to perform fellatio.
This strongly indicates that both Kim Kardashian and Ray J had the intent for a large group of people to watch the video and masturbate to it. The most likely way for this to happen is through distribution. The article does not accurately reflect these indications. Especially the word "leaked" is not in accordance with the events in the sex tape. Since this is a protected article I am requesting that an edit is made to reflect this information. Thank you. Hopefully a consensus can be reached. (The only counterargument is Kim Kardashian's own version of the events in the interviews she has given. However, Kim Kardashian has lied in interviews before, such as about her plastic surgery.) Grt36YD69kSUCph8lA40sqDbHsrreVxp (talk) 16:18, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- That falls under WP:OR, a policy that you need to read. "Leaked" isn't a very precise term: if it was intended for distribution to a small group of people and then distributed publicly, that would still be a "leak".—Kww(talk) 16:29, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Omission
The article has a glaring omission: any reference to her plastic surgery.

Edit request
Under the "Life and Career" section it states "In 1994, her father garnered public attention as the primary defense lawyer for football player O.J. Simpson during his murder trial."
Robert Kardashian was O.J's initial attorney as O.J. simply called someone he knew who was a lawyer, but Kardashian was never a primary lawyer for O.J. during the trial. During the trial, Robert Shapiro, and Johnnie Cochran were, alternately, O.J.'s primary attorneys. Kardashian was not a major part of the defense - he had not practiced criminal law, let alone a homicide defense, and in fact had no active law license when O.J. was charged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.211.11 (talk) 19:45, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
Personal Life
Why is there no personal life section as there is in most biography pages on Wikipedia? For a celebrity with a highly publicized private life, it is a glaring omission.

Name Change.
In 'Kims Fairytale Wedding' we see that she decided not to change her name, not legally and not for stage. Being so her name should not appear as Kimberly Kardashian Humphries (nee Kimberly Noel Kardashian) it should remain as it was originally.
- well her name was formerly kimberly thomas as she first married in vegas shown by divorce documents filed at los angeles superior court in 2003 http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/04/23/article-0-09429BB9000005DC-625_468x623.jpg so should her page be like her moms as hers says née Houghton, formerly Kardashian so should kims say formerly thomas then? 80.1.219.140 (talk) 03:15, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
update: Why does her name currently say Kardashian-West? As far as I know there's no reason to believe she changed her name just because she is now married. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.187.167 (talk) 22:25, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- well she did say in a few interviews around her engagement that she would take the surname west but have kardashian as her middle name just like her sister khloe did but as far as it being legally changed there is no proof as italian authorities have said there was no plans for a civil marriage and there were reports of a problem with the prenup again like her sister khloe was not legally married on the day of her wedding ceremony 80.1.219.140 (talk) 23:23, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

- Someone keeps moving the nickname from before her surname to before her middle names. Standard format is for the nickname to go before the surname. For example, see [JFK's page]. RWB22 (talk) 18:44, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Name formatting
She is now known as Kim Kardashian West, following her marriage to Kanye West. In my understanding of names, Kardashian West is now her last name, therefore in the article opening it should be formatted as Kimberly "Kim" Kardashian West. But, I've had multiple people revert this and change it back to Kimberly Kardashian "Kim" West, which I think makes no sense. Her middle name is not Kardashian. Any input? Thanks, Melonkelon (talk) 21:54, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Kim Kardashian might be considered one of the worst mothers ever. Nobody is trying to ruin her reputation but a few weeks ago (9-28-14) Kim DROPPED North West! She was unlocking the front door of her building when one wheel of the the stroller popped off. You may think of that as just an accident but Kim didn't pick up the baby until AFTER she opened the door! How bad of a mother is? In my personal opinion, REALLY BAD. If I was a mother (even if i am a man) and my child fell out of a stroller, i would've immediately picked up the child. --Anonymous Father"

Where did she come from?
Forgive my lack of understanding, I came to WP to learn what the lady had done to become a 'celebrity'. I'm no wiser. Its as if she appeared from nowhere as a random choice? I don't wish to demean anyone, but this article doesn't tell me how or why she was chosen for fame? (Yes I can see she is very attractive, is that all it is?) Saying it was as a result of a sex tape doesn't help me. Why would people be interested in a sex tape of an unknown? PeterM88 (talk) 10:05, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- before her sex tape was released she was in the tabloids and gossip sites for dating people like rapper the game, nick cannon (who dumped her because she lied about the tapes existence) and briefly dated nick lachey after his divorce from jessica simpson (he suspected she was taking advantage of press attention from the divorce) Also known as paris hiltons 'best friend' seen out in nightclubs together and their feuds with other z-listers was documented http://www.thesuperficial.com/tara_reid_gets_owned_by_paris-08-2006 80.1.219.140 (talk) 01:26, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- As the IP says, I think she emerged from the world of US celebrity gossip mags and websites. The reality TV stuff increased her profile in the US and abroad among a certain demographic. She seems to have marketed herself very astutely, or has very good management. A section in the article about this would help those of us who find the whole process bizarre and incomprehensible. --Ef80 (talk) 20:38, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
the intro and early life says kim first gained media attention from Paris Hilton but i would say it was before that when she was seen with Nick Lachey after his high profile split (at he time) from Jessica Simpson http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1199443,00.html in her 2010 book kardashian konfidential kim herself even says when she was first noticed 'It started when I went out on a date with Nick Lachey,' 'Of course the paparazzi took pictures, because people were curious about who he was with.' also nick lachey says in Details magazine he thought kim used him for fame http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2310775/Nick-Lachey-hints-ex-Kim-Kardashian-used-fame.html 80.1.219.140 (talk) 21:32, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Kim Kardashian Old Navy Lawsuit
This edit request to Kim Kardashian has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
I am requesting to add the below statement under the year 2012 for the Kim Kardashian page.
In 2011, Kim Kardashian filed a $20 million lawsuit against Old Navy and its parent company, Gap, Inc. for right of publicity. [11]Old Navy used actress/model Melissa Molinaro in their Old Navy commercial featuring the actress singing and dancing. Kim Kardashian claimed that Old Navy used Molinaro as a look alike to Kim in order to promote their brand. Kim Kardashian was also seeking order to have the actress/model Molinaro banned from Old Navy commercials. The lawsuit never went to trial but a settlement was reached by use of a mediator in 2012; the exact settlement is unknown. [12]

In April 2015, Kardashian and West traveled to the Armenian Quarter of the Old City in Jerusalem to have their daughter, North, baptized in the Armenian Apostolic Church. The ceremony took place at the Cathedral of St. James.[99] Khloe Kardashian was appointed the godmother of North.[100]
Armenian "Orthodox" Church should be corrected to Armenian "Apostolic" Church, as "Orthodox" is a commonly used but is actually inaccurate.The official name of the church is "Armenian Apostolic Church".
