Talk:Pebbles (musician)

message: *Permalink 02:56, 16 February 2014 Born August 29, 1964 (age 49)
*Edit by 99.197.244.200: 03:14, 22 April 2014 Reid was born Perri Arnette McKissack on August 29, 1964 or 1965.
Is there any reason for this confusion? As discussed above, the only reliable source says August 29, 1964 and there is no reason to take a couple of misprints in clearly not reliable sources to suggest there is some kind of controversy. Does anyone know if the familytreelegends.com link provided by 173.169.79.119 above is likely to be accurate? That link is not needed in the article, but it appears to confirm that there is no doubt.

replies: text: Perri "Pebbles" Reid →  – The current title is a Wikipedia original research synthesis with multiple violations of WP:STAGENAME.  The subject is almost exclusively notable for singing and production under the name "Pebbles" (with some minor non-charting output under the name of "Sister Perri") and the sources of the article alomst all refer to her as "Pebbles".  I propose moving the article Pebbles (musician) per WP:SINGERDAB ("Use '[musician]' when the person is known for their work in other musical fields, like writing songs or producing music for other artists") or Pebbles (singer).  —  AjaxSmack  00:04, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Following her singing career, she was involved in music production, notably launching the career of TLC.  The (musician) tag is best, per WP:SINGERDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 17:35, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: That doesn't make her a "musician" though. In her musical career she was a singer. A music producer is not a musician. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:55, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:SINGERDAB specifically says it does.  Use "(musician)" when the person is known for their work in other musical fields, like writing songs or producing music for other artists. 162 etc. (talk) 15:00, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Writing songs I would agree with. But producing? No, that's misapplying the word. Most music producers are not musicians. All songwriters are, even if they don't actually perform in public. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:49, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

message: Can someone please clarify what "mixed African-American parents" are? If both parents are African-American wouldn't that make them African-American? Or is the author attempting to say that Pebbles' parents are of mixed African, European, and possibly Native-American, ancestry? 2603:800C:3944:BC00:3122:D459:6A93:9FCD (talk) 20:07, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
