CEO

[edit]

I deleted the section on the CEO's background because I don't think it's relevant to this article. This article is about the app, not the app's founder. Where she went to school, her parents' professions, and her other entrepreneurial ventures aren't relevant to Bumble; they're relevant to her. If you were to start an article about Wolfe herself, I think that information would be appropriate, just not in this article. Cheers, -- Irn (talk) 23:25, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Same-sex matching

[edit]

Noticed that is says Bumble only this year added same-sex matching...I've used the app for a few years now so that doesn't seem right. Off to find sourcing. EvCalifano (talk) 02:09, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added sources on same-sex matches! EvCalifano (talk) 02:13, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Transgender

[edit]

"There are no options for users to identify as genderqueer or transgender, in contrast to competitors OkCupid and Tinder.[23]" This is no longer true. I'm not sure when this changed but as someone who just recently signed up for Bumble and was curious about it's history, I checked the wiki of course, but when I made my profile I was more than welcome to select from a wide array of transgender/genderqueer/non-binary options for gender. 98.122.186.165 (talk) 00:46, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

True, they have added new options. Mᵒdᵘlᵃtᵒ. (talk) 13:14, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed this content to past tense and introduced a new blog post source on Bumble which describes their widening of gender identity choices. It's important for Wikipedia to keep track of historical perspectives of a topic, not just list present-day app features, and the Daily Dot source is good in establishing mainstream coverage of the app and its features. Thanks to the anonymous user for bringing this outdated information up and to Mᵒdᵘlᵃtᵒ for making the initial change. — Bilorv (talk) 18:28, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 6 August 2021

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. General agreement that this page is the primary topic. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 23:57, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]


– Call it recentism and a primary topic grab if you wish, but none of other topics on the disambiguation page seem like they will ever attract a very large number of readers looking for "Bumble", and none of them that would reasonably be called "Bumble" seem to have major historical importance. (There's the bee, of course, but that's a bumble bee, not a bumble.) The article about the app and the company that produces it, which was recently at Bumble Inc. for a few months before I had that bold move reverted today, has been attracting 20,000–60,000 readers per month for the past five years. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:50, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article on the Oliver Twist character refers to him as a "minor" character in the opening sentence. It also primarily refers to him as "Mr Bumble" rather than just "Bumble". The "Mr" might be a good way to provide WP:natural disambiguation (regardless of what happens in this RM). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:11, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
FYI, I have submitted an RM at Talk:Bumble (Oliver Twist), suggesting to move it to Mr Bumble. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:24, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, he is a minor character in the context of the story. But he is an incredibly well-known character mainly due to his appearance in the musical and film Oliver! and has very clear long-term significance. Whereas the app is pure WP:RECENTISM. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:26, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Inspiration Daily source

[edit]

An unregistered volunteer removed the following content, with the rationale this is a blog post, doesn't state Bumble tracks locations. WP:No original research:

Bumble user locations can be tracked, and a company called Buzz Humble sells this information to people looking for their spouses on the platform.[1]

Another unregistered volunteer has reinstated it a couple of times, with the rationale (in response to me): This is a long standing part of this page that was undone in error. Please stop defacing this page. I've also removed it with the reasoning: original removal was correct. This blog fails WP:RS/WP:V.

Further input is requested on whether this content is appropriate, to reach a consensus. — Bilorv (talk) 18:41, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If no RSs cover this story, then its inclusion is certainly undue. Pavlor (talk) 06:14, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Income numbers

[edit]

102,844 million is an implausible income number, I assume there's some unit error. Hemiauchenia (talk) 01:27, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

advertising

[edit]

I really don't get the latest ad for Bumble. I mean, what does moving to a monastery have to do with dating? Visokor (talk) 07:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
