message: Since there is already a discography page for this artist, I have moved singles, mixtapes and extended album details to the page at Nicole Wray discography. As a result, the artist page is now more concise. Cloudz679 11:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have once again "cleaned up" this section. I hope the concensus here is that the full discography is better suited to being on an alternative suitable page (already linked in my previous post). Cloudz679 01:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Lovechild album.jpg

message: Nicole Wray is not a rapper. She doesn't record rap albums and she isn't known for her rapping. Just because one user thinks she should be categorised as a rapper, doesn't mean this should be on her wikipedia entry. Cloudz679 (talk) 09:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree: unreleased "albums", mixtapes, etc. should go unless there are citations to reliable sources demonstrating that they are, in some meaningful way, notable. All unsourced/poorly sourced nicknames should go. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 14:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I gave you a list of reliable sources. I gave you one for Elektric Blue, Lovechild, and her new album. I gave sources about her mixtapes and eps and it proves that they are valuable to being apart of the profile and discography. And you didn't get the sources i will provide them again, shortly.

thread_title: Present Names

message: do not call her new 2008 album, her second studio album because she said that she will be releasing her other album "Elektric Blue" and "Lovechild" in the fall of 2008. you have to call it either a "new album", "upcoming 2008 album", or "fourth studio album". 4.154.2.73 (talk) 20:03, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, SM, I disagree. As it would be her second released studio album, it would be her second studio album. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 21:54, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur with Mdsummermsw. If it is released, it will be her second album. Cloudz679 (talk) 07:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Don't call it a second studio album 

message: (removed likely trolling)
New editor has a familiar writing style... In any event, the album might or might not have a title. When it has a reliable source saying it has a title, then it 'will have a title. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 17:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Quick update "I Found You" is not the title of her second studio album you have listed in the discography section of the main wiki page of Nicole; her second studio album is called Kill Cupid, "I Found You" is the name of the lead single from the album & it got released on iTunes a few weeks ago  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.115.168.7 (talk) 19:22, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The discography section of this article lists her only album, Make It Hot and the single "I Found You". It does not say there is a second album. Note the formatting: Album title vs. "Song title". - SummerPhD (talk) 20:50, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: @Sackkid: AllMusic is generally not recommended as a source for biographical information such as a person's date of birth. If there is no other source that verifies that information, then it could be used. Also, your account is already autoconfirmed, meaning you are able to add this information to the article yourself. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:53, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
