Personal life
Why isn't there a section about her personal life? Charles Essie (talk) 02:07, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- As mentioned in previous threads, that would basically be asking for trouble (namely becoming bloated with trivia, fancruft, gossip, or any combination of the three). Not a risk worth taking. There also isn't anything of encyclopedic value to add that can't be mentioned (and isn't already) within "life and career", especially when Rob Fusari and Taylor Kinney are known to have worked together professionally. While Christian Carino (unless I'm missing something) isn't known to have been involved with her career the way those other guys have, he's adequately covered within the A Star Is Born section. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:20, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- To add, Carino was with her management team so again, part of her career. —IB [ Poke ] 12:30, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- OK thank you for that bit. All the more reason to include him in the section where he is now. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 14:00, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

- Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Where exactly do you want this text added? —KuyaBriBriTalk 19:28, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
- Pretty sure the user wants us to say she won an Academy Award for that role, which would be false. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 20:24, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
Transformation
Guys what do you think of using this source for updating the Public image section about Gaga's transformation. There are also other multiple sources regarding how she transformed into an awards season darling. —IB [ Poke ] 10:20, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- @IndianBio: I definitely think it should be mentioned. How her style was gradually changing beginning with cheek to cheek and her first oscars performance through joanne to a star is born. How she toned down her image "Gradually losing her gimmicks, or her “armour” as she’s called them" and when she "goes anywhere these days it’s just as herself, not as the highly stylised pop star wearing meat dresses, wigs and disguising make-up." etc. but I would maybe look for some other sources and expand on it even more. ArturSik (talk) 14:09, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
Bad Romance on Impact
I think you should put Bad Romance on the "Impact" segment, everybody knows is a milestone for pop culture , I'll leave you some reasons in the links bellow: -#1 Best Music Video of the 21st Century: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/list/8466543/100-greatest-music-videos-of-the-21st-century (Billboard) "she took the old standard for great music videos and set it aflame, then got to work building a new one."
-One of the All-Time Best Songs: http://entertainment.time.com/2011/10/24/the-all-time-100-songs/slide/all/ (TIME) "Bad Romance is an infectiously catchy dance song about all of the crazy, messed-up feelings people have for one another."
-#11 Best Female Songs of All Time: https://www.laweekly.com/music/the-20-best-pop-songs-in-history-by-women-artists-5264050 (LA Weekly) "Lady Gaga is a mad genius, and her 2009 MAGNUM OPUS "Bad Romance" is the pop music equivalent of a violent orgasm."
-#1 Song You Can't Get Out of Your Mind: https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2016/11/earworms (American Psychological Association [offical studies])
-#1 Best Music Video of 00's Decade: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/readers-poll-10-best-music-videos-of-2000s-102206/ (Rolling Stone) "Lady Gaga became the strangest element of pop in the 2000s with her daring, high-fashion looks and out-of-the-box take on pop tropes. When "Bad Romance" rolled around, the song and video declared that she was more than just a flash-in-the-pan pop phenomenon and established her as one of the most innovative thinkers of the genre."
https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/468680/the-10-best-00s-music-videos-poll-results (Billboard)
-#21 Best Song of the 21st Century: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/the-100-greatest-songs-of-the-century-so-far-666874/bad-romance-lady-gaga-667037/ (Rolling Stone)
All these without considering her multiple awards as Grammys and VMAs won for the song/music video. Bad Romance is her Thriller, her Vogue, her Baby One More Time, so I think it deserves to be considered as a song with a such an impact on pop culture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 179.56.154.81 (talk) 22:38, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Pronouns Can't be Used in Back to Back Sentencing.
In the vein of the decedented rhythm/blues singer Aaliyah with her name not being used more than once, having a pair of she beginning consecutively sounds disoriented.
More properly, it be transfused to something like "Known for her unconventionality, provocative work, and experimentation, Gaga began performing as a teenager singing in nightclubs" rather than the aforementioned she in two separate sentences. Template:edit semi-protected

Instruments
"Guitar" should be added to list of instruments she plays. She's played the acoustic guitar at times, mainly during the Joanne Era, but she's played the electric guitar multiple times in her career, namely during the Born This Way Ball Tour, as well as the keytar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mortal Aphrodite (talk • contribs)
- It's not as prominent as her use of piano, though, and the parameter is supposed to be for any instruments that a musician is really known for using. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 20:20, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
Problem with "She is known for her unconventionality..." in the lead
This statement that she is known for her unconventionality, provocative work and visual experimentation has pompous underlyings to it. She's not the only artist of these characteristics. It should say something like, "Her artistry has been described by press as unconventional..." and a comment about her provocativeness and experimentation that I can't think of at the moment. Just about anything that doesn't use "known for" and the like should be more acceptable. 100cellsman (talk) 22:21, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Your version is not bad, but I think it is even less neutral. I think the current version is more straightforward without being wordy while also conveying the idea. FrB.TG (talk) 11:58, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
- Is it so? I just felt a subjective edge with the lead which I thought went beyond journalism. I don't have an alternative without making things more complicated than it should be. 100cellsman (talk) 00:11, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
- There are things that are considered subjective like a singer being labelled as good, but Gaga being unconventional is a fact. It's not something bad, not something good. It's just her style. In my opinion, "known for" should work well here unless it was something else like "She is known for being a good singer". Your version would work there very well. FrB.TG (talk) 11:28, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

BAFTA - first female ever
Lady Gaga is the first (and still only) woman to win the BAFTA for Best Film Music in the award's 51 year history... worth a mention? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.161.7 (talk) 19:13, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

gaga's next album will be called Adele Holikachuk (talk) 20:51, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. —KuyaBriBriTalk 21:57, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- It isn't clear whether Gaga was joking when saying that earlier as noted here. Giving a release date and/or accompanying tracklist would however make it more likely she's serious on the matter. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:32, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- SNUGGUMS, It's not up to us to vet if it's a joke--the fact is she announced it. She could later announce it was a joke. Naming an album "Adele" is not so outrageous that it's beyond belief and reliable sources report it. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:05, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

I invite editors to update the draft page about her upcoming album at Draft:LG6. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
- @SNUGGUMS: Koavf has clearly taken this seriously, creating the redirect Adele (album) and adding a bit about it in the prose after I asked on his talk page. I've added that it was taken as a joke, but if you want to remove the sentence entirely, I'm fine with that as well. Ss112 20:02, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
- Adding the joke interpretation does help. If it turns out not to be serious, then we'll obviously replace it with the actual title once known. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 20:38, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
It is not serious; the fact that it is even considered to be included here is ridiculous and embarrassing. A biography should not include a joke made on someone's twitter account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mictic (talk • contribs) 10:33, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Infobox image
I found a better and more recent image that I believe should be used in the infobox. The new one is from January 2019 as compared to the old one from 2016, and shows Gaga facing forward rather than away from the camera. --Ikon21 (talk) 02:31, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - I think the current one is just fine. - FlightTime (open channel) 02:34, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - As above + the current one is just of much better quality. ArturSik (talk) 13:48, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose the current pic has better lighting and she looks happier in that than the suggestion provided here. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 18:03, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Rameshvar (talk) 15:49, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
- I personally wouldn't add this. That's not because it's false, but because it isn't a defining trait for her. See WP:Overcategorization#Non-defining characteristics for more. Just because something can be cited doesn't necessarily mean it's worth adding. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:10, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Why not rock?
She has some rock-style music, and is listed on the page listing rock performers, so shouldn’t rock/ rock pop be listed on her genres section? Freddiemercuryy (talk) 22:35, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- Probably because her use of it isn't as prominent as those listed in the infobox (pop, dance, and electronic). SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:38, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
"Stupid Love"
Page watchers may be interested in helping to expand the draft article for her rumored next single, "Stupid Love", at Draft:Stupid Love (Lady Gaga song). Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:54, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- I've moved the draft into main space; the single is being released in a couple days. I've updated Draft:LG6 as well. ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:52, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Draft:LG6
Sources have speculated LG-6 and Chromatica as possible album titles, based on artwork for "Stupid Love". I've updated Draft:LG6 and invite editors to please update this page instead of creating new draft pages each time speculation appears in press. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:31, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Sales using "As of"
I think we should remove every "as of..." used in every worldwide sales. Records sales depends on each reference and sometimes vary same year or different years etc. Everyone (users and wiki readers) can check all of them in the parameter "date". This also removes possible primary sources or "inflated sales". --Chrishonduras (talk) 21:17, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Chrishonduras: I agree with you, the use of "as of" give the idea that the artist sold million more after that and usually users go to those articles and "update" with more inflated sales they found in websites.--88marcus (talk) 17:33, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. Seems like nobody cares about this "issue" since many users from her wikiproject are "active". This practice is common in all major "divas" articles and their discographies, 'cause usually are the same users. For example: Rihanna-to-Beyonce and so on. I'm fine if worldwide sales came from IFPI report for example, but others reliable sources are just an estimated and vary or depends with other sources. Even if the note is from the same year etc. Also, it's ok Billboard for USA sales, e.g. but not worldwide if we use in context "as of...". --Chrishonduras (talk) 17:57, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

- Not done. This statement is sourced (in the body). Do you have any basis for making this change? –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 14:32, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- It is a false statement. You can check that at least one person did it before her: A.R. Rahman won all those awards in 2009 for his work in Slumdog Millionaire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eduordas (talk • contribs) 13:08, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- I just checked and John Williams did it as well with his works in "E.T." and "Jaws". Probably more composers have won all four awards in one year as well. the best change would be for "the first woman". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eduordas (talk • contribs) 13:13, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

COVID-19 activism
Gaga has made very notable efforts in fighting the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, so much so that she was described by Vogue as "the Face of COVID-19 Relief". Not only has she raised over $35M for COVID-19 relief,[2] (many unofficial sources say $90M [3][4][5]), Gaga has partnered with World Health Organization and Global Citizen to establish the One World virtual concert.[6] The concert has also gained many comparisons to Live Aid in 1985.[7][8][9][10]
Should this just go under her Career section, or is it notable enough to be a new topic under the Activism section? heyitsben!! talk 18:56, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Parent(s) section incomplete
In the "Parent(s)" section under her photo, her father's name is not present. Was it there before and removed by someone? Why would this information be omitted? 12.164.2.58 (talk) 18:06, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Added him. Whoever removed that probably did so because he doesn't have or warrant his own article unlike her mother, but either way, it looks incomplete to add one parent without the other when both of their names are known. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 18:16, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
“French-Canadian Roots” false...
Hi according to genealogist's research Lady Gaga/Stefani germanotta likely does not have any French Canadian roots you can check it out here [quebec.com/files/madonna/individus/madonn a-lady-gaga-en.htm]. Her mother Cynthia Bissett does however (through her father Paul Douglas Bissett) have Scottish, English, German, Dutch and some distant Scotch- Irish/Irish ancestry. PAWS UP Magnumb22 (talk) 00:40, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- That actually is only saying she isn't related to Madonna as previously reported. It doesn't state or even suggest Gaga has the other types of heritage you mention (which seem to have been pulled out of nowhere), nor does it outright say Ms. Germanotta has no family from France. What that does say is both singers have Italian ancestry. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:54, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Fine allow me to cite the quote that I am referring to because you cannot read it? Are you seriously this anal, i’ll send you the family tree with all the sources OK Jesus, I can’t imagine if I was like Lady Gaga and trying to edit my own Wikipedia page and somebody started doing this to me despite the fact I would have the information and I would have the facts and somebody would still do this.

Having sold an estimated of 27 million albums and 146 million singles worldwide, Gaga is one of the best-selling music artists. (As per her discography page) (Instead of 124 million records as of 2014) 117.206.89.42 (talk) 12:40, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Jazz
Shouldnt this be in her genre list? She's released a jazz album, a jazz EP, had two jazz tours, and has made several performance DVDs of her just performing jazz hits.--Ottamieh (talk) 17:55, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- This has already been discussed and one album alone isn't enough to warrant inclusion. Also, she's only had one jazz tour (for the aforementioned album), one concert special with Tony Bennett that got released on DVD, and I can't think of any jazz EPs Gaga ever made. Those don't cut it either. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 19:25, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

New infobox pic
Thoughts? ArturSik (talk) 21:13, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
- Not an ideal picture. I find the lighting subpar when it somewhat makes her hair blend into the background. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:35, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, I see what you mean. How about the second one that I just added here? Much better I think. ArturSik (talk) 22:11, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
- Both of these seem artificial poses. Image quality is not much in favour of either option (in any case, both will be in the infobox so they'll appear in relatively low resolution). Since it's not an issue of quality, and all images properly illustrate the topic, I prefer the more natural looking one already in the article. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:31, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- File:Lady Gaga - 2019 SAG Awards.jpg definitely is better than your first suggestion, though I still prefer File:Lady Gaga interview 2016.jpg (what infobox currently has) which somehow feels like it has a more natural vibe. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:20, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Going into the article body, I don't spot any uncited claims from a glance or anything coming off as though it were written by a PR firm, so giving some specific examples of each would help.

Addition of singer Rina Sawayama (look at her Wikipedia page) in the list of people Lady Gaga has inspired, under the Impact tab. 174.112.205.154 (talk) 20:58, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- We cannot simply use Wikipedia articles as citations for such claims per WP:Verifiability#Wikipedia and sources that mirror or use it and would need to implement references that specifically say she inspired Rina. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 00:01, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

- Question: So where is this "list" of people Lady Gaga has inspired? What I assume by that is the follwowing sentence.
About the sources you have provided, I do not see anything in there that directly states that Lagy Gaga inspired Rina Sawayama. With that said, I will mark this edit request as Not approved for original research; you may provide another reliable source to verify yoru edit request. {{reply to|Can I Log In}}'s talk page! 00:09, 21 June 2020 (UTC)Jake Hall wrote that Gaga inspired several subsequent fan-brandings, such as those of Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Justin Bieber.
- I have found these two articles that clearly state that Lady Gaga either influenced or inspired Rina Sawayama: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/awards/9426546/rina-sawayama-not-eligible-for-the-mercury-prize (BILLBOARD) and https://medium.com/@joeboothby/rina-sawayama-sawayama-album-review-89caac81cf0a (MEDIUM). Please consider these.

The February 2016 Lady Gaga net worth estimate of US $275 million is almost certainly no longer accurate, given that net worth estimates as of the current year,2020, report that Lady Gaga has a net worth of US $320 million. The net worth figure given on the Wikipedia page for Lady Gaga should be changed from US $275 million to US $320 million. [1][2] Jdcabc123 (talk) 09:10, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

ArturSik Why do you even bother with this edit. The only change that I made was that I put American Horror Story in the section of Born This Way, Artpop, and Cheek to Cheek. So, what is the problem with my edit? What is the reason why American Horror Story is in the section of Joanne? Neel.arunabh (talk) 15:59, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
- The thing is AHS wasn't the only thing you put in that section but the entire year 2015. She appeared in AHS between 2015 and 2016 and released 'Joanne' in 2016, around the same time AHS: Roanoke came out, so it all ties up nicely. All sections are fine as they are. You trying to change things when there's no need for it. ArturSik (talk) 16:36, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Gaga and Tony Bennett have made a new album together, to be released this spring, recorded through Tony's battle with Alzheimer's.
We're definitely gonna use it on the album's article. By the way, so sad. GagaNutellatalk 16:58, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Add Britney Spears to "artists ispired by Lady Gaga" (Impact section)

- I could be wrong, but a gut feeling tells me this was more of an admiration post/inspiration to keep thriving than it was for something music-related (which is what we should prioritize for that section). SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 03:55, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- The sentence in the impact section goes: "Gaga and her work". Not just her work. LouJade (talk) 04:05, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

I want to change the term "glam rock" as describing Freddie Mercury to "pop-rock" as Freddie Mercury was not in a glam rock band, but one that played conventional rock music with a more or less conventional stage appearance and presence. Pbhressays (talk) 03:50, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
