thread_title: File:The Shirelles - Tonight's the Night.png Nominated for Deletion

message: I have deleted the reference in the first sentence of the lede to "African American"--specifically, in the phrase "The Shirelles were an African American girl group." Their race is extraneous in this context, for the same reason that race would be extraneous if someone described the Chordettes as a "white girl group" or a "European American girl group." Their race is described later in the paragraph in the discussion of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" being potentially the first chart-topping song by an African American girl group. I left in this reference because there is at least arguably a point to mentioning their race in that context (as it adds some information to the discussion and is not gratuitous).

replies: text: That's fair comment, but their nationality should be mentioned in the opening sentence.  Not everyone in the world will know they were American.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:52, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Why do sources state her real name as "Michelle Harris", and "Addie Harris McFadden"? TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 04:10, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: This book states that Micki was living in San Diego and married to Vernon McFadden at the time of her death. She was cremated on June 11, 1982 in Stone Mountain, Georgia and her ashes were picked up the next day. Is it okay if I try to revive her article?TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 04:24, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: This is what i found, and it states she was born in Guilford, NC as Addie Elizabeth Harris. [redacted] This could be changed, but may still be reverted Never mind, High Point is in Guilford. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 21:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
