Source for birth year?

edit

A recent edit changed one birth year to 1984, leaving another at 1985. It seems we have no reliable refs for either year. Googling turns up unreliable and contradictory sources (some of which have obviously used Wikipedia as a source). Can anybody find something more definitive? I don't see anything at Simons' Web site's bio page, for example. In the meanwhile, I have commented out both mentions of her birth date. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 17:25, 17 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Trimming charts from 17(!) to 10

edit

The page currently has five tables, including two large tables under Singles which include a whopping 17 charts each. I intend to trim these behemoths down to 10 charts each, in keeping with WP:DISCOGSTYLE (and common sense). In addition to the unhelpful magnitude of these listings, all of the Peak chart positions appear to be 100% thoroughly unsourced. So I think it's appropriate (and high time) to weed out some of the charts shown.

The charts I propose to keep depend in part on market size (country's population) and ease of verifiabilty and reference citation. Instead of

  • NLD
  • AUS
  • AUT
  • BEL (FL)
  • BEL (WA)
  • BG
  • CAN
  • FRA
  • GER
  • IR
  • IL
  • NZ
  • RUS
  • SWE
  • ESP
  • UK
  • US

I would probably retain:

  • NLD
  • AUS
  • AUT
  • BEL(WA)
  • CAN
  • FRA
  • GER
  • ESP
  • UK
  • US

Simons has done quite well in Belgium, but I don't think we need both languages there. She's not done much in the US, but it's the largest market, so I'm inclined to keep it for comparison purposes. RUS, ISR and IRL are a pain to source, and NZ is kind of dinky (and she charted only once there). Her success in Spain and Sweden is about the same, but Spain is so much larger than Sweden, I kept ESP.

I'll wait a while (say, a week?) before making any changes so interested watchers can chime in with their suggestions. — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 00:06, 14 May 2021‎ (UTC)Reply
