Talk:St. Vincent (musician)

message: i'm just wondering why there's no entry for st. vincent with a pointer to this one.  i came to wikipedia looking for the info on this page, but i tried searching for various variations on "st vincent" and none of them gave me any indication that this page might be here.
i'm not a good enough wikipedia editor to do it myself, or i would.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iahklu (talk • contribs) 06:08, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I haven't found a source explaining the exact significance of her stage name— but St. Vincent was the middle name of the feminist poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, who preferred to be called "Vincent" rather than Edna.   Timothy Horrigan (talk) 23:39, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Let's discuss reliable sources before adding this, although I have to say that the evidence is starting to stack up now. There is the film that Clark is scoring as referenced here that mentions Stewart. Karst (talk) 13:47, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

message: I have removed the following text from the lead section:
St. Vincent has opened shows for such acts as The Black Keys, Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird, The National, Jolie Holland, John Vanderslice, Xiu Xiu, Death Cab for Cutie, Cristina Donà, Grizzly Bear and Robert Plant. Additionally, her track "The Strangers" was sampled by Kid Cudi on the song "MANIAC" for his 2010 album Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. In 2015, she performed with Wire in Chicago, as part of the band's Drill Festival. Clark has been heralded as "one of the past decade's most distinct and innovative guitarists."
For openers, the lead section is intended to summarize the most important aspects of the subject.
The laundry list of acts she has opened for -- actually, she has opened for acts such as them, there are obvious thousands of other A-list acts Clark has opened for, right? -- is nothing more than peacockery. This is similar to the actor who appeared in films with a laundry list of A-listers. The list is intended to reflect notoriety on the person appearing with/opening for the others. Summarizing this trivia would involve something along the lines of "St. Vincent has opened for numerous other acts." Wow, really? A musician act who has opened for other musicians?
One of her tracks songs was sampled by someone else? Should our articles on Prokofiev, Shakespeare, The Bible, Byron, Nabokov, etc. include that Sting has quoted them? Of course not.
She performed with another band at one concert. For similar reasons, Eric Clapton's article should start with the list of bands he performed with: Roberta Flack, The Beatles, the Plastic Ono Band, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, The Band, Bob Dylan, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, B. B. King, the Bee Gees, Phil Collins, and several dozen more. That would be absurd.
One carefully selected quote lauding the subject is not material for the lead anymore than one carefully selected quote disparaging the subject would be.
All of these trivial details and one-offs are included here not because they are significant (how many people have opened for Robert Plant? Dozens? Hundreds?)), but to build up the subject here. I removed them because they are trivial, not to tear St. Vincent down. - SummerPhDv2.0 14:23, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

message: With six albums and a number of charting songs, should the discography section be WP:SPLIT into a new article? If tables are used instead of lists, this section would be longer than many standalone discography articles and too long on this page. feminist 14:40, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

message: excised coverage of St. Vincent's relationship with Cara Delevingne with the edit summary "Personal life: gossip, no significance indicated".
I think this was ill-advised.  The rest of the paragraph is about her gender-fluidity, so well-referenced coverage of a cross-gender relationship is highly relevant.
I restored the excision.  Geo Swan (talk) 06:00, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
