# Talk:Solange Knowles

Hey, I think that a section should be added about her love for art and painting. She has mentioned through various outlets that she plans on having artshows. She oil paints and she said one of her inspirations is Basquiat.

The painting section which formerly said "Aside from music, Knowles paints as a hobby: "I think that painting, for me, is such an affirmative expression in that sometimes you don't know what the outcome is gonna be and each stroke and each brush for me is an emotion and, in the end, it comes out as a piece which is the most amazing thing. ... It definitely provides a different outlet."" has been removed due to it being deemed not notable by someone else. If she ever decides to do any art shows, I'll add it back.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:2A40:3E40:F41C:1DAF:B5DD:534D (talk) 06:16, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Why does searching for pretty good redirect to this page?? Surely redirecting to Larry David would make more sense?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by D4tis (talk • contribs) 10:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC) 

She is currently working with a Private Equity firm to help finance special projects in distribution, promotions and marketing music with Music World Entertainment and Geffen. The Private Equity firm is focusing on buying and selling music licensing rights to the movie industry and consumer products like Coca-Cola, Alcohol beverages and Proctor & Gamble Company products. The music for commercials will be the first deal of its kind for a female R&B singer.

Notable. It gave her very bad press and did make her look like an idiot.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.0.15 (talk) 11:26, 29 December 2008 (UTC) 

If you mean this episode, you'd have to provide some WP:RS that described it and said it had some significant impact on her career.  Otherwise, it's just celeb mag fodder.  Wasted Time R (talk) 00:58, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

The Knowles sisters appeared in "Austin Powers in Goldmember", and all three appear on the soundtrack. I can verify this. Could somebody add this in?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.247.244.120 (talk) 16:36, 25 August 2009 (UTC) 

Although the reviews were generally negative, Knowles earned praise from Variety magazine: "Solange Knowles is nearly as dazzling as big sister Beyoncé and does little more than smile winningly in her first bigscreen outing."
Basically, "she was pretty, but that's it." --149.4.115.3 (talk) 22:46, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

This phrase doesn't make sense "Her father and mother are African American Creole is not a race, descent, or ethnicity."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.173.113.24 (talk) 04:09, 27 March 2010 (UTC) 

The column headings in her filmography table seem a little odd....

Need someone to verify and provide a reliable source for Knowles' birth date. An editor with a history of introducing factual errors has changed the year, and I was unable to verify the fact due to a dead link at the cited source. This means that her birth date is now unsourced and subject to removal. Elizium23 (talk) 22:12, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

"Knowles appeared as a nubile teenager"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.16.176 (talk) 05:40, 27 December 2011 (UTC) 

Maybe there is no competition because Solange isn't nowhere near as successful as her sister. Beyonce's least successful studio album is Destiny's Child, the group's first album from 1998, which has sold two times more than Solange's two albums together. And Solange is practically unknown outside the US; as a singer at least. 85.217.23.230 (talk) 23:27, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

According to the London Newspaper Metro, the reason for the attach on Jay-Z was for him not keeping his promise to help her take her music to the next level.

True is part of her discography, why does it keep getting removed? NayruLink (talk) 11:55, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

@NayruLink: This is because it is an EP, if there is a discography page for the artist, we generally only list the main albums. Not singles and EPs. Karst (talk) 12:13, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
EPs are important too you know. They're basically short albums. True really should be included! NayruLink (talk) 14:28, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
Yes they are. That is not the point. The artist has a discography page. For that reason we only list the main albums. Not the singles, compilations, EPs or live albums. It would be duplication. If you look at the Beyonce page, you will see that none of the 5 EPs are listed there either.  Karst (talk) 16:06, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
None of Beyoncé's EPs equal an album of it's own, they either serve a promotional purpose or are remix collections. True however is a CD of its own with all new songs and even has singles.
And by the way I don't get why True is considered an EP. According to Wikipedia, an EP is a CD with up to four songs or a running time of up to 20 minutes. In both cases, True has more. So why is it considered an EP? NayruLink (talk) 23:05, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
I was wrong, it's 25 minutes for an EP. But still True has more. NayruLink (talk) 23:07, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

It is about the sources. Allmusic and others all consider it an EP. And by definition it is. I appreciate that you see it as an important release (and it is). Perhaps focus on expanding the section in the text where it is mentioned, using the sources. Karst (talk) 05:55, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

As can be seen on the page about Solange's Metatronia exhibit, she is using her husband's last name instead of her maiden name as a dance/sculpture artist.  (Still mononymous as a musician, I assume, but we'll see soon at her next album release!)

Solange appeared on the Tyra Banks show in 2008 and said the whole story of getting diagnosed twice was a joke she said because she felt a reporter was being sarcastic with her during a prior interview. She told Tyra something like, "I say it like this (*puts on straight face*) and they can't tell I'm joking." This single quote has been duplicated on other sites through the years, but she herself has never discussed the topic beyond that 2008 interview.  2600:1702:2A40:3E40:F41C:1DAF:B5DD:534D (talk) 05:57, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi, good morning (UTC), I notice some edits by Beyoncaeeee (talk) (contribs) who replaced her middle name Piaget to Boyance. The user (Beyoncaeeee) explicitly linked to her "original" middle name (Boyance) from Tina Knowles book, Matriarch. Another IP user, whose IP (sic) name is 2600:1702:2A40:B10:7989:C3F0:C431:71BB, reverted Beyoncaeeee's edit, while this IP user (whose name as an IP address is 2600:1702:2A40:B10:7989:C3F0:C431:71BB) also explicitly linked to interviews related to Solange Knowles. 
User Beyoncaeeee's edit might be correct, since it was using unconfirmed original source (from Matriarch). They stated that "The name Beyoncé was originally spelled as Boyance but due to clerical error, the spelling was never corrected.". They also wanted to preserve the original name since Tina decided to give Solange Boyance as her middle name.
IP user, 2600:1702:2A40:B10:7989:C3F0:C431:71BB revert edits from Beyoncaeeee, possibly due to unconfirmed source mentioned above. 
Regarding these names, I will start a debate between these two middle names, "Piaget" and "Boyance" as it could argue latest edits and could start an edit war. Unconfirmed and reliable source(s) like Tina's book "Matriarch" should be checked upon preserving it publicly like Wikipedia. — Totoong Kabayanang (True Countrywoman), KPF.
