Suggestion to change "playwright" to "librettist"

I suggest to change "playwright" to "librettist", as Lin has only written books for musicals, not plays. Also it should be included before "filmmaker".177.95.74.164 (talk) 19:01, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

librettist is not common parlance so I would change it to playwright. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 15:58, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Occupation arrangement

JDDJS, why are you against arranging the list of occupations? It should match with the infobox in the same list. You say it’s not an improvement. How come? Ziggy Coltrane (talk) 22:06, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The opening sentence shouldn't be overloaded. Combining composer and lyricist into just songwriter is one way to prevent it from being overloaded. Songwriting should also be listed first because it is clearly his most notable occupation. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 23:00, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so why shouldn’t I add singer to the opening sentence? He is well known as a singer, just as he is in acting and writing. It’s what he’s well known that should be added.Ziggy Coltrane (talk) 06:04, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I won't stop you from adding singer to the lead, but others have objected to it in the past, so don't be surprised if it gets removed. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 16:00, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
