message: How in the world is Cheryl Cole a pop icon? She's been a solo artist for about two years. I really don't see how Jennifer Lopez is a pop icon either, but that one is not as ridiculous as Cheryl Cole...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.208.2.95 (talk) 03:48, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  A to Z (Examples) 

message: Some of the examples are alphabetized by their first name and the others are alphabetized by their last name? This makes no sense... Some pop icons such as Prince are known by their first name, so in order to keep the list consistent, we should alphabetize them all by their first name.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.33.75.217 (talk) 03:52, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not inconsistent; bands and one-name performers are listed by the band name or the individual's performing name. Everyone else is listed by last name. Prince is under "P" because nobody calls him Prince Rogers Nelson; Madonna is under "M" because she performs under the mononym, not as Madonna Louise Ciccone; Led Zeppelin is under "L" because it's a band; Spice Girls belong under "S"; ABBA is ABBA; U2 is U2. This is a standard rule of alphabetization, widely used inside and outside of Wikipedia. I think people would be more confused if we put Springsteen under "B" and Bogart under "H". Thanks for raising your concern here. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 05:42, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Where did Eminem go from this list? Surely he's more prominent to popular culture than Usher?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.174.117.6 (talk) 06:18, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eminem?  

message: I noticed that most of the modern pop icons are pop stars but what about movie stars? Unless wikipedia thinks that there are no modern day movie stars that are good enough. Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep,Will Smith are all just as iconic if not more so than some of the other people listed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.250.186.72 (talk) 06:25, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

message: I don't wanna makes WP:EW, so I put this message here. User  always, deletes the Madonna's picture without a valid reason: 1, 2 or 3 with a inappropriate language. So, there's a lot of references that provides that Madonna its a Pop icon and with major music's contributions. 
;Some examples
*Why Madonna still matters — 2014 by The Daily Dot
*She became the first multimedia pop icon — inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
*the world's biggest and most socially significant pop icon, as well as the most controversial — Rutgers University
I just put a few examples, but the reason of Madonna's picture, its because its more neutral puts a living artist and a women. And however, herself is the first multimedia pop icon and the world's biggest and most socially significant pop icon, as well as the most controversial (there's a lot of references from academi in english, spanish, french, etc sources) and that provides even that Madonna's impact on society/cultural landscape its huge that Jackson (other topic, but wherever).

thread_title:  Madonna's picture 

message: For the fictional pop icons Emma Peel should make sense, the page says that "she became a feminist role model around the world and is considered an icon of British popular culture". There's a section #References in popular culture with three detailed Comics, Music, and TV sub-sections. I've added Emma Peel, if you want more than one copied book source check out the bibliography in this paper:
For Sasha Grey it's less obvious, she has been compared with Madonna and Taylor Swift (both listed here), she collaborated with Eminem (listed here), various artists featured her, and she's in the List of sex symbols. She'd be interesting for the #Examples here, but I found no clear rules for the #Examples, "interesting" might be not good enough. –84.46.52.75 (talk) 14:55, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emma Peel + Sasha Grey 

message: I cannot see that this section serves any useful purpose and I propose it be deleted. Typical examples are mentioned in the text of the article, so will anyone have any interest in wading through such a long list? It seems to be little more than a temptation for anyone to add their own particular favourite, and since there are no objective criteria for inclusion that can lead to the kind of unresolvable arguments seen in the comments above.
