Talk:Mario (singer)

Untitled

Readers,

Mario does not in any way condone this page or check its contents. Do not leave messages here, as there is absolutely no chance that he will ever read them or respond. If you feel that the corresponding article could be improved in some way, or if you have any questions about how you can improve this article, you may leave a message here. Thank you. --FuriousFreddy 19:54, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Article Name

Mario publishes all his songs under the name "Mario". This article should be moved to Mario (singer), in keeping with the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). For precedence, see Madonna (entertainer), Jewel (singer), Jem (singer), Dido (singer), Bill Clinton, Eminem, etc. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:13, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

...but what happens when some other guy named Mario decides to carry a tune? --FuriousFreddy 19:40, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

I highly doubt that another singer would try to publish songs under the name "Mario", for the same reason that no one has tried to publish as "Madonna", "Jewel", etc. As this Mario has established a trademark by publishing under his first name, he would have grounds to sue them. In either case, that hasn't been an issue yet; if we had to, we could burn that bridge when we came to it. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:10, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

I was joking (lol). I agree with the move. --FuriousFreddy 22:02, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Mario

mmmmkay I certainly don't agree cuz there is also a Mario Winans who is a singer as well who I, myself, got mixed up with Mario Barret. I didn't even know that they were different people. You know the one who did that song with diddy in 2004 called "I don't wanna know" mario am just proud of him coz he hasn't made any bad picture to the public like the other celebs.so mario dont you ever do it the bad way.nancy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nancy sharon (talk • contribs) 14:01, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Chris Rock

Is Mario related to comedian Chris Rock ?

Just wondering...

Sorry, but I'm just wondering what all that stuff at the top of the page is. Thanks... Blackleopard11 21:02, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

It looked like a mess, didn't it? Anyway I've reverted it to its better-looking version. Soulrefrain (Talk) 01:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Knightwritaz and 'notes'

the Knightwritaz section has a mistake. it says: The production team includes with Mario, Sterling Simms.

wtf does that mean?!?! i tried to look at the reference/note, but i can't see mention of this simms guy, and the article said Nightriders, not Knightwritaz.

also, one of the other links in the notes section no longer works. are these not checked and updated?

or does it not matter, as long as it's a reference? i see many articles here that don't cite references, but at least they don't cite non working references...

i would correct, but funnily enough, i came here to find the info! 77.101.18.129 20:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Knightwritaz Section Edit

I removed the statement "You can imagine how many different concepts and things I had," the 21-year-old explains. "But there's really even more than that, because I'm gonna start recording, like, [at] the end of January." from the Knightwritaz section because it was already mentioned in the TBA (2008) section of the article. Thanks. ~~Aian —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.38.51.134 (talk) 20:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Go collaborations

I recently removed a mess of a partial "reference" about collaborations on Go asking is anyone knew what it was. I've looked thru the history and found out. It's a primary source selling the album that does not verify the claims of collaborations. That ref needs to stay away. duffbeerforme (talk) 15:22, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Requested move 1

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.

The result of the move request was: Move. Jafeluv (talk) 11:32, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

---

• Mario (entertainer) → Mario (American singer)
• Chris Brown (Canadian entertainer) → Chris Brown (Canadian musician)
• Monica (entertainer) → Monica (singer)
• Bebe (entertainer) → Bebe (singer)
• Cytherea (entertainer) → Cytherea (pornographic actress)
• Gauge (entertainer) → Gauge (pornographic actress)

– In all cases "the entertainer __" is a vanity disambiguator not reflected in newspaper or book sources. No.1. Mario (entertainer) current disambiguator fails WP:CRITERIA on 3 of 5 counts; 1, 2 & 5. "the entertainer mario" R&B -cedric = 0 results relating to Mario. "the singer mario" R&B -cedric = About 248,000 results. No different from Miguel (singer). The second RM, the other Chris Brown (Canadian entertainer) is not even in the "entertainer" ball park. The third and fourth RM much the same for Mario, zero for "the entertainer Monica" (an undiscussed move by a sockpuppet), and "the entertainer Bebe" - instead "the singer Monica" "the singer Bebe". RM 5 and 6, well. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:32, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• Support moving Mario (entertainer), since the use of this disambiguator is always wrong. No opinion on the other proposed move. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 18:47, 9 June 2013 (UTC):Edit: I support changing the other listed titles too. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 14:55, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
• Support I agree, the more specific a title can be, the better. This helps limit digging time for end users. Nicoli Maege (talk) 16:06, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
• Support: "Singer" is more relevant than entertainer.  Brendon is here 08:10, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Requested move 2

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.

The result of the move request was: No move. Mario (singer) will redirect to the dab page. Cúchullain ^t/c 16:05, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

---

Mario (American singer) → Mario (singer) – That already redirects here. Unreal7 (talk) 16:32, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

• Comment - The redirect looks like an accident. The reason for (American singer) is because of the Italian singer Mario and Danish singer Mario listed at Mario (disambiguation). I've just added Mario Chicot singer from Guadeloupe, but he's only called just "Mario" on 2 of his CDs. It's the 19th Century singer Mario who is the real competition here. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:38, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose "Mario (singer)" should redirect to the disambiguation page Mario (disambiguation) which lists more than one singer going by "Mario" as a mononym -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 04:50, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose Mario (disambiguation) is possibly a case of WP:PDAB, and Mario (singer) -- or perhaps, Mario (singers)? -- should be the more specific disambiguation. In any case, more specificity is generally better for disambiguating article titles, so American singer works for me. Dovid (talk) 13:54, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Mario (American singer) → Mario Barrett – WP:NATURAL is preferred over parenthetical disambiguation. SSTflyer 12:04, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose per the last sentence of WP:MONONYM. It seems that many reliable sources treat him as a mononymous person, similar to Madonna (entertainer) or Prince (musician). In the case of those articles, they are using parenthetical disambiguation. So how is Mario different from Madonna, Prince, the other examples listed in the first requested move discussion, or other articles named per the last sentence of WP:MONONYM? Otherwise per WP:MONONYM, widespread consensus is that parenthetical disambiguation, NOT natural disambiguation, is the optimal article title when its subject is a mononymous person. Zzyzx11 (talk) 12:41, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose per above, he doesn't use his surname, so this wouldn't be correct. Nohomersryan (talk) 22:04, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
• Move to Mario (musician). The "Prince (musician)" example above convinced me that this is the appropriate title. I recognize that there are other Mario musicians as well, but there are other Prince musicians as well and that never stopped Prince from claiming the title of the Prince musician. It all comes down to what is the primary topic, and I'd say that this Mario clearly wins out. Feedback 15:53, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
