Semi-protected edit request on 5 March 2020

I would like to add in the following...

"Dears" - Dimash Kudaibergen fans

He calls them that way, and they call themselves that way. If you watch any Youtube video (especially Chinese one) - you'll see people with crowns on their heads with the word "DEAR" 74.50.236.242 (talk) 00:23, 26 March 2020 (UTC) Vera Kapinos 25 March 2020[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 29 March 2020

Please add “Dears” - Dimash Qudaibergen (Kudaibergen) fandom. [7] Vera Kapinos (talk) 05:43, 29 March 2020 (UTC)Vera Kapinos Vera Kapinos (talk) 05:43, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I could not find that mentioned in reliable secondary sources, only on his own sites. If you could point to sources demonstrating this is notable, then that would be could. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:14, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

References

Semi-protected edit request on 29 March 2020

Just adding some references for request about “Dears”: [1] [2] Here on top of the third picture it says: “Dears,” is what Dimash calls his fans. Meanwhile, they call him their "adopted brother from Kazakhstan." But despite the country bordering China in the northwest, Kazakhstan remains a place that many Chinese people are unfamiliar with. Luckily for them, Dimash is changing that reality.”

[3]

Paragraph 23 says:” He has more than three million followers and 1.4 billion views on Weibo. His fans call themselves “Dimash Dears”. (Yes, I’ve signed up as one, too.)”

[4] The revue: “EXCEEDED MY HIGHEST EXPECTATIONS”

[5]

A little bit above the second picture:”He thanks kneeling on the stage and spreading his arms, calls his fans Dears and always reminds everyone that they are welcome in Kazakhstan.”

[6] [7]

This one is a negative one, but we are not discussing the quality of a fandom, but looking for mere recognition - [8] Vera Kapinos (talk) 19:21, 29 March 2020 (UTC) Vera Kapinos (talk) 19:21, 29 March 2020 (UTC)Vera Kapinos[reply]

Real madrid fans are called "merengues" after a dessert (meringue) which is white. "Madridistes" are a way how catalans (a region of spain) call madrid fans, but definitely not the main one — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.175.110.134 (talk) 14:44, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
