thread_title:  Reference #4 is a dead link 

message: After a simple tool test, it seems that this article reads similar to gotradio.com. Here is the link. More reasonable, in my opinion, is the prospect that gotradio copied Wikipedia. In a scramble to get content, whoever manages the site may have copy/pasted whatever was a top search result. MgWd (talk)MgWd  —Preceding undated comment added 04:06, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Not sure if anyone else feels this way, but I am wondering if the section titled "Death" might be better if moved towards the bottom of the page? It just feels like it is out of order to me? Just wanted to ask before I went moving things. Tattoodwaitress (talk) 22:46, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

message: I added some basics about Gaye's marriages and children, and linked to the separate Wikipedia article about his rather turbulent personal travails.  My edits, which I spent considerable time putting together and properly sourcing, were undone with the contention that "a separate article addresses his personal life" (paraphrasing).  Yes, it does, and I linked to it, but that is hardly reason to omit basic details of his personal life in the "personal life" section of his biography on Wikipedia.
‎If we have a "personal life" section, it ought to cover the basics of his personal life. The fact that it is covered more in depth in a separate Wikipedia article is no reason to skip it here. The information I added is very basic, and would belong in the "personal life" section of any Wikipedia biography.

replies: text: What you wrote is not really of encyclopedic value in this article, includes what is effectively personal commentary, and your sources are poor and incompletely formatted.  So, this article is better as it was before.  Please see if you gain any support on this page before attempting to re-add it.  Thanks.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:44, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

text: I agree with Ghmyrtle. This gossip-style content is not of encyclopedic value, and cites of the New York Post have no place on Wikipedia, see WP:NYPOST: "It is  A tabloid newspaper, editors criticise its lack of concern for fact-checking or corrections, including a number of examples of outright fabrication." Using unformatted bare urls as refs is not good, either. Carlstak (talk) 13:16, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

message: Someone may want to add something regarding this project : Sexual Healing - IMDB, Playbill reference, "What happened to Jesse L. Martin’s Marvin Gaye Film?". The film was never completed. I heard through the grapevine that what was shot is one the assets of a bankrupt European producer and that the receiver of the bankrupcy would have made attempts to sell the project to someone to finish. 194.42.220.72 (talk) 15:09, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

message: If the denomination in which Gaye was raised was essentially a Black Hebrew Israelite sect, and had elements of Judaism, why is this fact mentioned in other articles about Marvin Gaye, but not this Wikipedia article? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 02:20, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
