Talk:Michelle McManus

message: I have no idea who Michelle is, and only came to this article randomly, but if she has had singles debut at #1, a less extreme statement "moderate success" seems more appropriate. Transcendentalstate 22:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, she had a UK number one after winning the competition, and then she was dropped by her record label after her next single didn't make the top 10. WeBuriedOurSecretsInTheGarden 18:24, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So basically, she had success, followed immediately by failure. Is there a word for that? "Moderate success" doesn't really fit that as it implies neither great success nor great failure. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 18:55, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there a word for that?  Yep there sure is, my friend.  It's called 'Celebrityitis' and most of the UK seems to be afflicted with it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.73.105 (talk) 23:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: little if any success as a recording artist?

message: That's a lot indeed.  I was just searching the web for information on what weight she started from and for before and after pictures.
So far I've found this.  It states that she has gone from 22 to 13 stone - does this mean that:
* she's dropped another stone since
* the 8 stone is a little imprecise
* the 22 and the 13 are a little imprecise
It took me a while to figure out the sequence of pictures.  Then I figured that, if they're in any order, then it appears to be reverse chronological....
I see she's 5'1".  So her ideal weight is about 7st (depending on whom you believe) to about 9st 6lb ... but to shake off from 58.2 to 34.4 is certainly good going.... -- Smjg 14:33, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Some joker has been messing with the article - see references to Burger King, the "fatness" DVD, the target weight of "45 stones" and a few other ones in there.
And the "she was considered ugly enough to fulfil this role without any make up" True?
:I certainly consider this to be a true statement, but this is WP so I guess anyone can just put what they like down.

message: I've just started here and I am looking for articles to improve. I think this artice needs some improving. For one, an infobox with a picture or at least some image of the woman in question. Is this required, and can anyone find images that are copyright appropriate?--Bionic-Sun 18:15, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes we do need an infobox. An image isn't necessary but if a free one can be found, it would be good. I had a look of flickr but none of the images of Michelle are free to use. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 19:39, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I have speedy deleted both articles based on the lack of sources for the album and questions raised about the article creator's motives. I agree with davidwr: if the article can be sourced, it should be duly recreated. However, like him, I couldn't find sources on the Internet, nor a sales listing on amazon.co.uk. —C.Fred (talk) 16:18, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Damn shame too: 1) Lots of time wasted on this, and 2) she sounds like a more-than-merely-notable artist, it looks like that project fell through or got delayed.  Sigh.  davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 19:46, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Since there now seems to be confirmation that the second album is called Different Beat (per the primary source mentioned in the article) I've added that, and redirected both Different Beat and Different Beat (Michelle McManus album) here. People interested in the album or musician might want to watchlist those. --Amalthea 00:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  No risk of that. The album has less chance of being released than I have of getting a record contract. Has anyone else heard the rumour that her massive chin has been recording drill n bass records under the name 'The Malus'? --Tortwebster (talk) 05:25, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge in non-notable singles 

message: As seen here, Michelle had a song out in 1996 titled "Standing Here All Alone" . Shouldnt it be included in the singles box, charted at #69 in the UK. --84.13.96.163 (talk) 19:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not necessarily the same person. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 21:20, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ofcourse it is, its in the page with All This Time and The Meaning of Love which are both Michelle singles. --84.13.96.163 (talk) 21:55, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think if Michelle McManus had released a single in 1996 (when she was 16) she probably would have used the name Michelle McManus not Michelle as it was Simon Cowell who got rid of the McManus part, just like he did with Leona Lewis on her first single. I think back in 1996, some singer came along and released a song using her first name only, and it wasn't Michelle McManus. It wasn't a success and she didn't release any other singles. In fact, here is the CD cover. I highly doubt it's the same person. The chartstats website has just assumed it's the same person because it's the same name. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:14, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: And I just found out, that singer was called Michelle Narine. So I was right. I'm listening to it on Youtube right now. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:18, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

message: As per WP:DOB (a section of the WP:BLP policy) I have removed the uncited exact date of birth from the article. It should not be restored unless it is not only cited, but cited to a source or soures which make it clear that the date has been widely published, or else published with the subject's approval. This might be clear if the sources is itself notable and widely published, or if there are multiple reliable sources, or if the sources says or plainly implies that the date was published with the subject's consent, or in other ways. The day and month of birth of a living person are of little encyclopedic value, while making them public can contribute to identity theft and other problems. The year suffices to place the subject in chronological context. See WT:BLP#Dates of birth and info boxes for discussion. DES (talk) 13:41, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

text: Uninvolved editor's opinion: 1. using words such as those proposed by "simply-the-truth" violates the requirement for Wikipedia to retain a neutral encyclopedic tone and results in readers being presented a negative opinion of the subject. (WP:NPOV) 2. If she was an actress at some point and that can be shown with reliable sources, then there is no ground for removing it. (WP:RS)3. "unless you can show this is untrue then stop reverting it" - Even if we ignored the language neutrality issue, that's still a textbook example of Ad ignorantiam reasoning - which is a logical fallacy and incorrectly shifts the burden of proof. Also, the concerned editor should stop his bad faith attitude, that doesn't work on WP. 135.23.202.24 (talk) 16:37, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

message: Due to recent edits on this page, which I would argue is nothing more than a user wishing to engage in an edit war with other users, is it maybe time to look at getting this article protected against such disruptive edits? The user in question, "Simply the Truth" clearly has something against McManus and this shows in the edits, disrupting the article and trying to disguise many aspects of McManus's career and success, such as the creation of her own record label.

Please provide any source at all re Mcmani records ever being set up, I mean any roof at all, ever? That is all that is needed to then put this claim on the subjects page?
