Renaming/Moving page to Snail Mail (musician)

[edit]

After some research I'm pretty sure this page should be renamed and rewritten. Here are my arguments:

  • Lindsey wrote on Twitter in Sept. 2017:

    weekly reminder that snail mail is my solo project not a band thank u 4 listening goodnight

  • There is a text included on multiple concert info websites, which is most likely provided by Lindsey:

    Snail Mail is the Baltimore based indie rock solo project of 17 year old, Lindsey Jordan. She released a six song EP titled, “Habit,” on DC punks Priests’ Sister Polygon Records in July of 2016. The record features a full band with Shawn Durham on drums and Ryan Vieira on bass. [...]

  • She writes all the songs (in this article they specifically mentioned her new album http://www.thefader.com/2017/06/28/snail-mail-lindsey-jordan-interview-thinning-habit).
  • There is only her photo on the bandcamp page (https://snailmailbaltimore.bandcamp.com).
  • She had a solo concert in London in January 2018.
  • In 2017 she played a Snail Mail concert with two other musicians (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z05-7c1f6k).
  • The misconception of a band is created because Snail Mail normally is not a person's name, which leads to the thinking that it's a band.

Conclusion:

  • Snail Mail is Lindsey Jordan
  • Snail Mail band is Lindsey + band
  • Snail Mail (band) should be Snail Mail (musician) and the band can be part of that page

Personal Life/Gay Identity

[edit]

Lindsey is openly gay, but says she doesn't want to capitalize on her identity. Should a section about her personal life (including being gay) be included in a personal life section? A good resource might be the NYLON interview she did in 2018. YellowBlack (talk) 22:18, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
