message: VP's actual name is Jodie Rivera, which she has not disclosed in her videos, but which she has used in press and recording. Especially since she is now slated to appear in a television series, under her actual name, propose move to Jodie Rivera, making "VenetianPrincess" a redirect to there. 71.127.7.184 (talk) 14:49, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article Name 

message: I see that some users don't want her personal name used in the article.  While the relevant policy says "When the name of a private individual has not been widely disseminated or has been intentionally concealed (such as in certain court cases), it is often preferable to omit it, especially when doing so does not result in a significant loss of context", I have a hard time justifying the removal of her name when it is readily published in newspapers and other sources.  Plus, if she is using it in press releases to drum up publicity, it is harder to argue that it should thus be removed from her article. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I respectfully disagree with that. If her name was a secret, it would be a different case altogether but it is not. Anyone using Google can find it in no time, so I'm afraid I fail to see any reason not to include it here. Yes, she is more known as Venetian Princess but virtually every article on somebody known under an alias include their real name. If there's any reason why that standard procedure should not be followed here, I'd like to see it outlined. I'll wait untill tomorrow for comments, then add the name. Cheers JdeJ (talk) 22:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, changing my mind here. I just found that she has even released a cd under her own name , which definitely is enough to make it clear that here name is not a secret nor even intended to be. I'm adding the name to the article now, and would hope to see it stay unless a very good reason is put forward to have it removed. Cheers JdeJ (talk) 22:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that the real name was removed. This article is pretty useless at this point in regards to information about the person. Its only talking about here career on YouTube. You could read her website or just go to YouTube for that. --Art8641 (talk) 14:43, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of her real name 

message: Article says "A segment on The Maury Povich Show is set to air on February 27, 2008". So if it was to air, it has aired by now, yes? bd2412 T 10:52, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I just read on her myspace blog that youtube asked her to stop making parodies of real songs, should this be mentioned here?

thread_title:  Youtube Asking Her To Stop Making Parodies of Real Songs? 

message: Too many of the sources cited in this article are from the character's  website or from youtube. This entire article will have to be revised. In fact the whole article is appalling. Liamfoley (talk) 23:43, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. One of the three references that I checked did not confirm statement made (by Jay Leno). Another had been broken for months. Another was being used in a slightly misleading way: To claim that she was one of the first to do YouTube revenue sharing, whereas the reference only says that she is in a "new" program. (Whatever that means.) I'm sure some of these statements are justified, but there needs to be more care about using reliable, independent sources, see WP:SOURCES.

thread_title: Lack of sources

message: Is there any source to support the claim that she is of Italian ancestry? Otherwise the category should be removed. JdeJ (talk) 19:33, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Italian-American

message: It seems abundantly clear she is making little attempt to hide the fact she also goes by "Jodie Rivera". Her bio under VP here is the same as her bio as JR here. And she even links to a scan of a newspaper article connecting the two identities. There is no reason not to include her real name in the article. --ZimZalaBim talk 16:19, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, her real name is in the credits on a lot of her "VenetionPrincess" shorts. No effort to hide it at all. bd2412 T 07:09, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Real name 

message: I have found a few images on her website, and was wondering if I could upload one?
I can see that nobody has added any, so I thought it would be best to add one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chad Drives A Hummer (talk • contribs) 10:08, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: She seems fairly permissive in such matters. Getting one licenced by her under CC-BY(-SA) etc. may be possible. Someone should contact her first I think. - EstoyAquí(t • c • e) 01:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image of VenetianPrincess?? 

message: Could we maybe add an audio recording to the article? I notice that some of her videos on YouTube (e.g. the Womanizer parody - which she wrote, so has full control of) give permission to reuse with attribution. Obviously this is not the same as an explicit declaration of CC-BY-3.0 or similar, but I would think she would likely grant such a licence if asked. Anyone think it's worth it? - EstoyAquí(t • c • e) 00:59, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Add an audio clip? 

message: First, the article has uncited, peacock WP:PEACOCK and other language that's unsuited to an encyclopedia: "her close family and friends call her Amy", "VenetianPrincess's resemblance to actress Angelina Jolie is a recurring topic in her video comments", "VP's version spoke for the masses".
Second, the references almost all either do not confirm article statements, are broken, or are considered unreliable by Wikipedia. Several of the references do not even remotely support what the article says. (7, 8, 9) . One reference is Venetian Princess' own YouTube page, the article information is closely followed by "BUSINESS/PRESS INQUIRES CONTACT: Management@VPrincess.com". I.e., not a reliable reference. Reference  is "page not found". This is another dead link: . IMDB is not considered a reliable reference for personal accomplishments.
In sum, the article references that work are mostly written by VenetianPrincess or people who represent her. The article is mostly a list of promotional accomplishments without valid references. The references that there are -- and one that was deleted a couple weeks ago -- misrepresent her accomplishments. It is, therefore, an extended advertisement.

thread_title: Advertisement tag

message: In passing, it's peculiar to note that for someone who is purported to be a top Internet draw, that the traffic to this Wikipedia article is more similar to singing acts and novels from 40 years ago, than to current rock acts, movies or TV shows. Check . It would be appreciated if someone impartial could evaluate the weaknesses and strengths of this article, since it may be inflating the popularity of the subject.

message: Discuss. Is VenetianPrincess notable? I've seen more relevant articles than this get deleted by the moderators before, so is VenetianPrincess really that notable? 95.150.182.184 (talk) 00:27, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: One doesn't have to like or admire her, the fact that "She is the #1 most subscribed female on YouTube" (and has been for many months) puts her well within notability criteria. (If I was going to pick "most useless articles"? I'd go for mythical towns in computer games that are now rarely played, and may soon be effectively unplayable due to lack of workable compatible computers. A dozen static pictures that are the entirety of a "town"? This is notable, how?) Regards, Piano non troppo (talk) 09:09, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
