# Talk:Melly Goeslaw

Nearly all of the references provided are by a single website. Reanimated X (talk) 06:25, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

The Jakarta Post is one of the foremost English-language newspapers in Indonesia. Wikipedia referencing standards suggest prioritizing English-language sources, so that means fewer than five newspapers and any English-language writer who has noted her career to work with for English-language sources.

You're still not addressing the problem. You ought to use more than a single website as a source of citations, according to the Notability guideline, which is clearly not the case here. Reanimated X (talk) 07:57, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
There are five separate articles from the Jakarta Post, two from the Jakarta Globe (a separate newspaper), one from Rolling Stone Indonesia and one from an Indonesian celebrity news site. I fail to see how that is using a "single website". Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:03, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
You might be using 4 different sources, but 95% of this article consists of material from only two websites - the Jakarta Post and Globe. I fail to see how that constitutes as "multiple" sources. Reanimated X (talk) 08:07, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Hyperbole aside (Article minus lead is less than 7000 chars, RSI alone provides sourcing for 750... clearly more than 5%), winning a national award for songwriting as well as having two songs voted among the best ever by a leading music magazine are more than enough to satisfy WP:N. Regarding the "single source" issue, WP:RS does not define a source as being a single publisher, but a "reliable, published source"; i.e. a printed work. That would mean 7 sources from two publishers, with two other sources from different publishers. If you are concerned with the notability of the subject, you could try AFD. I'd expect it to be speedily kept. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:17, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Wouldn't hurt. Obviously, we could pronounce it as 'goes' + 'law', but I suspect that might be incorrect. 62.73.72.3 (talk) 22:11, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Isn't a devout Muslim woman supposed to refrain from showing her hair to others than her husband at all? And indeed, in the promotional picture I see, all of her hair is carefully concealed in a way that I would associate with Islamic tradition. Is it that the religious conservatism of her persona has increased in the course of her career and that she once showed her hair but now no longer does so? 62.73.72.3 (talk) 22:22, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
