Nationality question

ok, i'm confused. so shes spaniard, but her orgin is "mexican"?? i dont understand --Zuki2love 02:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)zuki2love[reply]

When writing, try not to make it sound FAN written. In other words, don't be biased and include every vain detail.

thanks

Please see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(biographies)#Opening_paragraph. Only the nationality at time of notability is used. Unless she has applied for and been naturalized as a Mexican citizen, her nationality according to that wikilink is Spanish. --Morenooso (talk) 14:21, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What if her parents were Mexicans who happened to be in Madrid for whatever reason, at the time she was born.Eregli bob (talk) 03:16, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peak Positions (Peru)

The Offical chart of Peru is Perú Top 100. Ni freud ni tu mama only manage to peak at #99 in Peru, and Lo Siento, Vivir, Angel and No Entiendo are the only song that chart in the Peru Top 100.

Nominations

Whoever keeps putting 'Coming Soon' by nominations that haven't been decided if she won the award needs to stop. It looks very 'fan created' and unprofessional. Put Nominated and when the award is announced, it can be change to 'won' if she won, or nominated if she didn't.

Bella Traición

The single 'Bella Traición' of Belinda made it to #7 on Mexico but her wikipedia page still has her at #11. Could anyone fix it?

Belinda peregrin

Belinda had a hit on amigos x siempre the novela was on univision and a lot of pepole whatched it the grop was a hit but when the grop was over and a lot of pepole wher sadthe novela ended but i think you can buy it on univsion.com.

um that last sentence did not make any sense. learn to spell too. -jxime

Latin Grammy 'Win'

Please do not change the 'nominated' to 'won' under Belinda's Latin Grammy NOMINATIONS for 2003 and 2007. She was nominated twice for the Latin Grammys, once for Complices's soundtrack in 2003, and twice for her Utopia album. She hasn't won a Latin Grammy, so please don't change it to 'win'.

Personal Life

Anything dealing with her personal life, dating, rumours etc shouldn't be posted!! It's a huge invasion of her privacy, and looks very unprofessional!

Stop Changing The original ethnicity!!!!

Belinda was born in SPAIN therefore she is a SPANISH (Spain) artist/ musician, who ever keeps changing it to "Mexican", please stop or i will report it!

Picture

I don't like the recent picture of her somebody please change it!

Headline text

I added new Belinda picture

This is a hideous pictureand it is not describing Belinda's feature. --Kimberly Ashton 22:16, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube links

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 03:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC) Hey!

Removing Biased comments/statements...

Removed: "..and this amazing song is climbing the charts" from the sentence ".."Ni Freud, Ni Tu Mamá", can be heard in her official myspace profile.."

as this statement is clearly biased ".. this AMAZING song .." and there is no sources disclosed as to which charts and when it is ".. climbing the charts."

Vandalism

STOP vandalism. To the stupid people who try to ruin the article, i say stop because your's IP were saved so if you still trying to ruin the article wikipedia maybe cancel your's entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nelsondavidd (talk • contribs) 22:52, 24 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Infobox

I have protected this article because of the week+ of edit warring over this article's infobox. Please discuss the issues rather than warring over something like this. Metros232 17:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've said this many times before, the infobox should include her origin, Mexico. If it were asking for birthplace, it would iclude that, just like infoboxes for models (Adriana Lima) or footballers (Rafael Marquez) do, but it doesn't. User:Energyfreezer doesn't seem to understand this. Belinda is only Spanish by birth, but Mexican by Nationality. And her career "originated" in Mexico, which is obviously what the singers' infobox asks for, where the singer's career originated. -- Lancini87 20:13, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Outside view

I'm outside to this, I only noticed the revert war and that's why I protected this. But doesn't Template:Infobox musical artist say both should say? Looking at the page, it says "The artist's date of birth; it is possible to use {{birth date and age}} (with parameters in order year, month, day) to display current age. Also list the place of birth, if it differs from the artist's origin/"hometown" (see below). " and "The city from which the singer or group originated (that is, the city where the group was founded; or the city where individual performers started their career, should it not match the location of their birth). " That's for the born and origin fields of the template respectively.

So based on these guidelines, shouldn't both be listed? Metros232 01:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you review my last edit, before User:Energyfreezer reverted it, you'll see that that i had included both, the place of birth and "the city from which the singer or group originated (that is, the city where the group was founded; or the city where individual performers started their career, should it not match the location of their birth)." And as you know i've explained this many times before. But isn't it ironic? User:Energyfreezer threatened to ban me for supposedly vandalizing Belinda's article, and it turns out, he's the vandal. :P -- Lancini87 01:40, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- However, in your last edit you change the flag. You only included the flag for Mexico and removed the flag that was included for Spain by Energyfreezer. So, in a way, you're contributing to this by saying the origin should stand out more by having a flag denote it. If you noticed in the template, it never mentions the use of flags for either one. I think a flag either needs to be included for both or for neither. Metros232 02:24, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, the Mexican flag was there first, but i know what you mean. -- Lancini87 03:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Well, all I have to say, is that in my last edit, I told the other editor, that birth place should only be placed in the infobox, not anything else, this is not a circus, this is an encyclopedia; and users can't be putting whatever they fancy, just because they feel like doing it. Energyfreezer 15:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Putting whatever they fancy? It's obvious you didn't read the Template:Infobox musical artist. -- Lancini87 17:12, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        Oh, really? Why do you like to delete the birth place, then?Energyfreezer 16:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        Before accusing me of something i didn't do, i suggest you review my last edit, i never deleted the birthplace, i only added Mexico as the origin, according to the Template:Infobox musical artist. -- Lancini87 17:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        Fine, you can add it, only if you cite it. Energyfreezer 16:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        Cite it? What do you mean? Everyone know she's spent her whole life in Mexico and obviously also started her career there. You only have to read her biography to figure that out. What's your problem anyway? -- Lancini87 21:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        Everyone? Well, others, including myself, don't know that. And I don't have any problem. You are the one deleting everything concerning her nationality in the infobox and the article itself. But it's OK, I reckon I got confused about the definition of origin in the infobox, but her nationality should be there as well, being more important than the place where she sang her first song ever. Energyfreezer 21:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        Oh, come on! You wouldn't even bother arguing if you didn't know. And about her nationality, i'm sorry to disappoint you, but it is Mexican. If you still have doubts, just take a look at the 6,400+ results on Google and the 600+ results on Yahoo! for the phrase cantante mexicana belinda. And if you search for the phrase cantante española belinda you get 0, no results on Yahoo! and only 3 results on Google -- Lancini87 21:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        Who cares what Google search results bring? Check her official website, and it says she was born in Spain. Period.
        Seriously, how stubborn can you be? Whether you like it or not, she is MEXICAN, okay? Nobody's arguing about where she was born. She's only Spanish by birth, but Mexican by nationality. And just because you say otherwise, it doesn't mean you're right. The facts are there, you can't deny them. And again, i'll ask, what's your problem? -- Lancini87 00:10, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        And not because you say it, it has to be that way. Cite it and then we talk. Energyfreezer 04:55, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        You know what? It's no use talking to you. But you won't get your way. Be sure of that. -- Lancini87 05:19, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        Once again, because you say it? Energyfreezer 14:39, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        I think at this point you two should agree on something. It has been four weeks since the page was locked because of this discussion. Now, let's take a loot at the article for Frankie J. He was born in Mexico but it was in the United States where his professional career started. He was raised in San Diego, so that is his origin. For Belinda, she was born in Madrid but since a child she has been in Mexico City and that is where her career originated. Can we follow that example? To be consistent? --FateClub 00:36, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Belinda born in Madrid, Spain. She say on a lot of interviews that she born in Madrid, so her birthplace is Madrid Spain. Herself is considered Mexican, but his legal birthplace is Madrid, so where say origin or birthplce the correct information is Madrid, Spain.

Move request

From WP:RM:

Belinda (singer) → Belinda (entertainer) - The article for this actor and singer was moved to Belinda (Singer) and then fixed to the proper capitalization Belinda (singer). --FateClub 18:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The page was only unprotected two days ago after an edit war. Since then, the page has been moved three times. That looks like controversy to me. This move needs to be discussed and agreed upon in advance. --Stemonitis 19:55, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At first sight it may look like a controversy, but only at first sight. The three times are these:

I moved it a few days ago from Belinda Peregrín to Belinda (entertainer), why? because she does not user her last name either in albums or TV shows.
A newbie changed it to Belinda (Singer) by a newbie, with no explanation as to why. She is a singer, but also an actor.
Being a typo, it was changed to the more natural fix: a lower-case "S". But the mover forgot to change the redirects.

There is no controversy on this, there was a controversy on a completely different section. But if you disagree that's fine. Anybody not agreeing on changing the page back to Belinda (entertainer)? --FateClub 23:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Belinda CD.jpg

Image:Belinda CD.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

I cleaned up the grammar in the section about Belinda's fourth album and did my best to not remove any of the information lying within. If I get time I'll work on the rest of the article as it seems that many of the sections were written by a nonnative English speaker. Kevinfr (talk) 18:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality citation as per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(biographies)#Opening_paragraph

MS BIO states, in the normal case this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable. Unless proof can be submitted that she has dual citizenship, the lead line for nationality should read Spanish. Only one nationality is allowed. Just because she lives in Mexico is not proof enough as she is a globe-trotter. --Morenooso (talk) 22:49, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

She was raised in Mexico, and began her career in there, as mentioned above. Are you saying she's somehow been living illegaly in Mexico all her life? Come on! At this point i'm sure she has Mexican citizenship. And don't bring up that since she is a celebrity, she "must" have work permit, because again, she's been living in the country since long before she was famous. She is a self-claimed Mexican, and is referred to as such internationally, even in her country of birth Spain, where she was nominated a "Best Mexcan Artist" and "Best International Artist", rather than Spanish artist. If that is not good enough for you, too bad. Lancini87 (talk) 23:55, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 2b

The following discussion is an archived 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. No further edits should be made to this section.

Belinda (entertainer) → Belinda (singer) – (unbundled as requested) This was moved from (singer) back in 2007 without much discussion. Despite some acting roles, still overwhelmingly known as "mexican singer Belinda" 5 Books "mexican singer Belinda" = 38,000 results in plain Google. Current title fails WP:CRITERIA, no one likely to search "entertainer Belinda" since "mexican entertainer Belinda" = zero results in plain Google. Relisted. BDD (talk) 17:52, 17 September 2013 (UTC) In ictu oculi (talk) 03:14, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose. I do favor more useful disambiguators like "singer" or "actress" over the vague catch-all of "entertainer"; in this case, I see that the subject, Belinda, is both a singer and an actress, something that the article's lede also notes. That being the case, I'm not sure that identifying the article simply as "singer" is entirely appropriate, so retaining the catch-all of "entertainer" (poor though it is) may be best. ╠╣uw [talk] 10:07, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

╠╣uw. Thankyou for your comment. Perhaps if this was es.wp (though es.wp has es:Belinda Peregrín so the problem doesn't arise). Spanish sources probably do give equal weight to both careers, but English sources naturally give more weight to the English version songs than Mexican soap operas. In Billboard - 9 Sep 2006 - Page 65 "You may not know Belinda Peregrin. ... In addition to her first English-speaking role, Belinda performs English and Spanish songs on the ... Given that the first Cheetah Girls album has moved 1.6 million copies in the United States" the acting comes as second (and is usually acting a singer and singing).

...Which brings us back to the original problem - whether (entertainer) can pass WP:AT CRITERIA 2. Naturalness – The title is one that readers are likely to look or search for and that editors would naturally use to link to the article from other articles. Such titles usually convey what the subject is actually called in English. for articles where sources don't call the subject "entertainer". If we have WP:AT saying "Such titles usually convey what the subject is actually called in English" then to evaluate if an article passes WP:CRITERIA requires assessment of WP:IRS to find out "what the subject is actually called in English" before it can be "conveyed" in the title. The searches here clearly show that Belinda, entertainer fails WP:CRITERIA 2, badly. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:01, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support; "(entertainer)" is always a bad way to title an article, and all articles titled that way should be moved to another title. I suppose there will never be a consensus for moving certain present articles, but they are still wrong. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 13:34, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Belinda (entertainer) → ? – There are other sources that use her full name or natural name: either "Belinda Peregrín Schüll", "Belinda Schüll", or any name without diacritics. Not to mention "Belinda Schulz". I propose that natural disambiguation be used. WP:NCP allows surnames that are "fairly often" used to be added. Is "Peregrin" often used? --Relisted. -- tariqabjotu 15:41, 30 September 2013 (UTC) George Ho (talk) 14:33, 20 September 2013 (UTC) ~~Fixed template: Schüll is her mother's name we don't include that in the title In ictu oculi (talk) 09:49, 22 September 2013 (UTC)~~ Sorry, I'll let others decide for themselves.

Support Belinda Peregrín per WP:NATURAL and per Google Books In ictu oculi (talk) 09:49, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well George with respect I might regret withdrawing the earlier RM on the basis of your intention to give "a natural disambiguation" if I'd have known that you were going to propose a question mark. Natural disambiguation in this case is 100% clear, her name is Belinda Peregrín as per es.wp, no other options are open. And what is "Not to mention "Belinda Schulz". doing in the nom? WP:RM gives guidance to prepare RMs properly, to show courtesy to other editors, a clear proposal supported by (a) guideline and (b) sources should be presented. If there are 2nd or 3rd alternatives they can be redlinked. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:07, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose until there's a supported argument to move. How often do reliable English-language sources call her plain "Belinda"? How often do any of the several choices of last name get used? Without any cites to sources (other than In ictu's, which is a good start - thanks), there's no basis to form an opinion. Also, if she does go by plain "Belinda" as a stage name, then WP:STAGENAME would apply, and we would look to majority usage in sources to trump the "real" name. Dohn joe (talk) 21:40, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Dohn joe: Using only ones from last 13 years. Belinda Peregrin: The Courant AZCentral other news articles. As for Belinda Schull, there are only Spanish articles. The full name is used in Reuters. And why must non-English sources be excluded? --George Ho (talk) 22:16, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, and it's good to know that these variations are used. But what we need to know is which one is used most - and we need to see that compared to plain "Belinda". Even the Reuters article that uses her full name calls her "Belinda" throughout the rest of the article, saying, "The single "has nothing to do with things I did before," says Belinda Peregrin Schull, who uses only her first name professionally."
As for non-English sources, it's a basic rule in this Wikipedia that "Article titles are based on how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject." Only when "there are too few reliable English-language sources to constitute an established usage, follow the conventions of the language appropriate to the subject." Here, there are lots of English-language sources, so we stick to them. Dohn joe (talk) 22:29, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Dohn joe: (Shall I ping you anymore?) using "Belinda mexican singer": first page has "Belinda" ([1][2]) and "Belinda Peregrin" ([3][4][5]). Other pages are unremarkable, as they have other women named Belinda. Using "Belinda mexican star": Belinda Peregrin ([6]) and Belinda ([7](aceshowbiz.com not shown here)[8]). Other pages also unremarkable and inconvenient. --George Ho (talk) 22:55, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Belinda Peregrin. The present title does not sufficiently distinguish its contents from Belinda (Cape Verdean singer), and ought to be changed on those grounds. As she is not the primary meaning of the term "Belinda", we cannot use that as the article title. Sources seem to be split amongst using just plain "Belinda" (which we can't), "Belinda Peregrin Schüll" (with or without diacritics), and "Belinda Peregrin". I can't see that she's ever credited as just "Belinda Schüll" without the "Peregrin", and in the English-speaking world her most prominent credit is for The Cheetah Girls 2, where she was credited as Belinda Peregrin. On that basis I support Belinda Peregrin as the best article title. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 14:56, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I suggest waiting until the AfD discussion on "Belinda (Cape Verdean singer)" concludes. If that article is deleted, then "Belinda (entertainer)" could still be a sufficient disambiguator here. Dohn joe (talk) 18:01, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- AfD is irrelevant, as the purpose of this proposal is either using a surname or a disambiguator. --George Ho (talk) 18:48, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  Yes, but the IP said that the existence of "Belinda (Cape Verdean singer)" makes "(entertainer)" here an insufficient dab. If that page gets deleted, then that argument is moot. Dohn joe (talk) 20:20, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Belinda Peregrín per IIO. This form doesn't seem overly obscure, so it's a good candidate for WP:NATURAL. I do give some weight to the Spanish Wikipedia's title. For what it's worth, Belinda (Cape Verdean singer) looks unlikely to be deleted at this point. --BDD (talk) 21:43, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Simply Belinda

She's credited as solely "Belinda" not by her last name, i.e. her albums, tv shows, interviews, magazines, the confusion is that in English markets they name her including her last name, but she's not credited as that, so I don't think their should be a debate its simply how she's professionally known as — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.59.77 (talk) 01:30, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the very thorough discussion immediately above this one, which makes clear why it is necessary to refer to this person as this article does. There are multiple notable people who are known professionally as "Belinda". Dwpaul ^Talk 02:20, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please change the birth year from 1989 to 1992. Even when her website states her birth year is 1992, an official Mexican migration document clearly says she was born in 1989.

Can you fix and edit the part where it says "Spanish-Mexican singer" Belinda is a *Spanish* singer not mexican even though she lived for the most part in mexico but she's still spanish. Belinda usually identify as Spanish, many Spanish fans know Belinda as Spanish not mexican. Please fix this mistake, it supposed to say "Spanish singer, songwriter and actress." not Spanish mexican, please team Wikipedia, thank you. Writerfrom 1984 (talk) 08:34, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
