Talk:Will Young

message: Where did it ever say he was gay?  I'm having trouble believing some of these Pop Idol articles.  It was even disturbing to read about Paula Abdul performing fellatio in some film.  I hope I don't come back here in a few days and read that Will Young is perfoming fellatio in a film.  Please provide a reference to where Will Young said he was gay.  Thank you.

text: The original article was in the News of the World and I heard it first on BBC Breakfast News on 10 March 2002.   Will wanted this to be published to counteract a scurrilous article in another tabloid. GJP
I thought he was homosexual that's what I hear from the news and people here in the UK where I live, I swear he is, one of his music videos has him and some men semi naked showing off sweaty muscles while playing volleyball on the beach. So I think all the evidence points to him being homosexual as confirmed in the interview text above as well. I can't believe the article doesn't list that. 90.201.191.50 11:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

text: The article says "Young subsequently revealed that he was gay, in order to pre-empt a tabloid newspaper that was preparing to run a story 'outing' him. He also stated that he had never hidden, and was comfortable with, his sexuality." The homoerotic video for "Switch It On" shouldn't be mentioned here. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 12:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the bit in the introduction that said Will had a 'semi-sucessful' music career as I think thats a bit mean lol.  He's continued to work as an entertainer as the article explains.Merkinsmum 19:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Vandalism

message: I don't agree about the removal of the Unofficial website from this entry.   The unofficial site is very good and is not just a fansite.   It is the largest website "Devoted" to Will Young.   You can find out much more on there than on his official site which is, I am sorry to say, not very up-to-date.   News about what Will is doing and what his next project is usually appears on Devoted at least a week before the official site.
I think it is rather pedantic and harsh to keep on removing it. Gill P 10:41, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Yes, that's a major problem of Wikipedia, I think. Things get added as they happen, with a date, on a new paragraph, and it ends up like a timeline. If you feel you can fix the section, please go ahead. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 10:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Why, after all this time, has someone asked for a citation for Will's birthdate?  This is well known and was mentioned in the actual programme, in the ITV website for Pop Idol and also in the book Anything Is Possible.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oyster24 (talk • contribs) 21:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Probably vandalism. People seem to enjoy saying celebrities have died. If it was true, there would be lots of news articles on the internet. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 21:18, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sourcing needs improvement 

message: The only information under the heading relates to Will's sexual orientation. The term "Personal life" is therefore a euphemism. I suggest the fact that Will is gay is incorporated somewhere in the main biography part of the article, or failing that the "Personal life" section be renamed as "Sexual orientation" Damson88 (talk) 23:05, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, I think even though it is the only thing in that section -"Personal life" - I think it sits ok there and allow a please for any added details if revealed. I haven't seen sections entitled "Sexual orientation" and it definitely isn't a common way to present someones sexuality. Is it normal that in reports of the subjects sexuality for it to be reported as "Will Young's sexual orientation is..? I also don't see anywhere it fits as well as it is now, imo. its not broken - nothing to fix. Off2riorob (talk) 23:39, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
