How is she associated with WHITNEY HOUSTON?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.202.25.159 (talk) 15:04, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Genre

You have to be deaf to not hear that Charice sings a variety of genres, yet we need a "reliable" source to state so? It's quite obvious that Charice mainly sings pop, R&B and dance-pop, and anyone who can define music is able to say so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Disney09 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

She sings R&B songs her album Charice (album) includes R&B in it's genre, and it also includes Teenpop and electropop songs

and her single Pyramid (song) is a Pop, R&B song

Charice also sings ballads (everyone already knows that)

according to billboard.com

"The big-voiced singer calls to mind a younger version of Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera and Celine Dion on soaring "BALLADS" about love and life, notably "In This Song" and "Note to God"."

and Rock 'cause her song "In Love So Deep" is a Rock song

"But the set's stylistic shifts--from teen-oriented pop to a touch of "ROCK" ("In Love So Deep")"

Source: http://www.billboard.com/new-releases/charice-charice-1004095697.story#/new-releases/charice-charice-1004095697.story

Her single Note to God is considered a Pop, CCM song

so R&B, Rock and CCM should be included in Genre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChasterUnit0 (talk • contribs) 03:32, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

She also released Charice (EP) which is Pop, Soul so we can include Soul in genre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChasterUnit0 (talk • contribs) 04:36, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

She also released Grown-Up Christmas List (EP) which is Christmas, Teen pop so Christmas should be included in genre — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChasterUnit0 (talk • contribs) 04:48, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Added external link to Charice Pempengco's singing performance on The Ellen Degeneres show on December 19, 2007. Also added Charice's photo.Aks2007 (talk) 07:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Pempengco has better photos. Maybe someone can find one where she looks more formal. Thanks.Doctorqui (talk) 07:16, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Editing is better than deleting a whole article

This article was nominated for deletion. I think its better to edit it than delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.101.10.81 (talk) 19:43, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

WPPhilippines importance changed to LOW

Although I am a fan of Charice Pempengco, I don't think she is worthy (yet) of an entry in a 10,000-article Philippine Encyclopedia. She needs to release a solo album to make it MID. Starczamora (talk) 06:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Not MID although she can release an album. Low only. --Efe (talk) 07:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, no! I am from Germany and I was happy to find an article of Charice Pempengco with biographic information. Why delete? Is there any problem having another digital item where the the caption is "Charice Pempengco"? Please notice also, that her name already is mentioned in other wikipedia articles related to music topics. Feel free to fill the Wikipedia Philippines Encyclopedia with other more important articles also! However - I agree that too much special information is given. It can be shortened. The writers should give only information that is even interesting 10 years later. Sentences like: "She received her first standing ovation from the American Audience." should be part of a fan site but not of Wikipedia. That Andrea Bocelli would vote for her needs not exceeding more than half a sentence - not a full pargraph. --Fmeyer01 (talk) 02:21, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

TV Networks

myx is apparently owned by ABS-CBN (according to the WP entry under "myx"). So why did you remove the entry of ABS-CBN? Santoki (talk) 19:08, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

They're different channels. It's important to distinguish what channels they first aired; not all of the ABS-CBN produced programs were aired on their mother station of ABS-CBN. --Howard the Duck 06:57, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

well, the list I wrote contained the different channels as the second thing mentioned. I don't know why you want to change it now but if you'd like to have the same syntax for all entries to that list then please go ahead and change all other entries, too. I don't think it makes sense to have some entries with one syntax and then other ones with yet another one. Santoki (talk) 08:19, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I also find it interesting that you were on the front for deletion of this article. What makes you want to edit now, all of a sudden? Santoki (talk) 08:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

The syntax wasn't applied consistently anyway (see reply on my talk page).

And since this article was saved better make sure it's edited in compliance to standards. I may resubmit this again (but after 1.5 years) for deletion if she fails the notability test by that time. The notability is flimsy at best (all of her "TV appearances" in the Philippines were on ABS-CBN and its stations and probably appeared on only one scene/production number, while her TV appearances outside the Philippines were sporadic, making me not "sold" on the overly popular image ABS-CBN projects). --Howard the Duck 08:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't care about ABS-CBN or whatever "image" you're mentioning. I'm not from the Philippines. I personally believe that Ch. P. fulfills the notability for WP to have an article of her own. That's why I'm editing it. If you believe otherwise, well, then go ahead and resubmit. Meanwhile there are tons of other articles out there that need improvement, additional info, references etc. Santoki (talk) 08:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry about the article for now, if she becomes really popular then I might reconsider; in fact after Christmas it seems ABS-CBN has cut down on her appearances and commercials. We'll see in the long run. --Howard the Duck 08:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm not worried. And time will show, that's correct. Santoki (talk) 08:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Why is this article in the English Encyclopedia but not any of the native Philippine language encyclopedias? Charice Pempengco is a Filipina, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.234.217.82 (talk) 19:10, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

That is because there are more Filipino Wikipedians who prefer writing in English than in Tagalog (because "Written Tagalog" is not much taught in schools). Starczamora (talk) 19:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Cebuanos are more prolific writers, I think. The Cebuano wikipedia is a lot bigger than the Tagalog Wikipedia. Also, for your question, it seems that Charise isn't that as notable as ABS-CBN wants her to be, for now. --Howard the Duck 08:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm...is Charice Tagalog or Cebuano? And yes, that does explain why it's not on native Philippine encyclopedias.--69.234.191.141 (talk) 17:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

It's harder to write in Tagalog than in English and Charice is Tagalog.--BAF (talk) 17:27, 17 March 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.125.119.108 (talk)

Peacock template

I added the peacock template because the use of words are overly-praising. Remember that Wikipedia is an factual encyclopedia, not a fan site. Thanks! Starczamora (talk) 01:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Tag removed. This article is very very short so it must have been better if you just removed those overly written passages. --Efe (talk) 07:55, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Performances

Why does this article seem to include a paragraph about every performance Charice has done? This is an encyclopedia article, not a fansite or promotional site. Just a few important performances, at most, should be included. I tried reducing the performance listing, but User:Coolwhiz has been slowly putting then back across the last day. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 15:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I did a MAJOR EDIT - the grammar was horrible. And I agree that there were peacock terms. Also, the article has a record of ALL of Pempengco's international performances. I understand that the rags-to-riches sort of thing (well, more like "little singer to international performer") is a huge part of her story, but I'm not sure whether it is necessary to have a bulletin of her every performance in the article. This does happen to be an encyclopedia entry.

Btw, this article used to be OK in January / February 2008. I was watching it at the time. Now, people, if you want to do edits, that's fine-- as long as you don't get into some kind of manic fan episode and pelt the article with ungrammatical, decorative phrases like some laxative-drunk pigeon on a roll.Doctorqui (talk) 05:56, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh-- and I was wondering whether she should be referred to as "Charice" or "Pempengco." Using the surname of the person is the acceptable thing to do in formal writing; however, Pempengco is better known as "Charice" internationally. When I watched this article in late 2007 / early 2008, I wrote "Pempengco". Through the edits over the past months, there is more "Charice" than "Pempengco" at the moment, and I let "Charice" stay in my major edit. If there is an objection to this, please go ahead and change it to "Pempengco."Doctorqui (talk) 06:29, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I think the subject should be referred to as "Pempengco" for now. Her new screen name (as simply Charice) is not yet prominent. Starczamora (talk) 15:21, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Charice is more prominent than her surname so all notations of "Pempengco" in the article should be changed.

BAF (talk) 11:21, 17 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.125.119.108 (talk)

Minutiae

I deleted "with Sam Concepcion winning the grand prize." It is unnecessary that Concepcion be mentioned in Pempengco's article. If Pempengco earned a runner-up to Elvis (which is impossible under the circumstances, but I am exaggerating for emphasis), then the feat and the winner are worth a piece of the article. Concepcion is a much lesser known person, obviously.

This Little Big Star story shouldn't be too in-depth; it is enough that it is mentioned.Doctorqui (talk) 05:15, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

People keep talking about her diminutive stature. How tall is she actually? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skysong263 (talk • contribs) 03:19, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Well Actually Charice is 4 feet 11 inches tall. (Comment added by begoodenblues)--68.45.198.69 (talk) 08:06, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Surname

Her surname should be used in the article's text, not her stage name. As per Wikipedia:MOSBIO#Subsequent uses of names: For people well-known by one-word names, nicknames or pseudonyms, but who often also use their legal names professionally (i.e. musician/actors Beyoncé Knowles, André Benjamin, Jennifer Lopez; doctor/broadcaster Dr. Drew Pinsky), use the legal surname. --Jtalledo (talk) 02:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I think a more appropriate comparison would be Madonna and Cher rather than Beyonce Knowles. In all her US appearances, she is now known as only "Charice". Ming warrior (talk) 14:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

So is Beyonce. --Jtalledo (talk) 22:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Charice Pempengco → Charice — per all 5 criteria of WP:COMMONNAME#Deciding an article name. Re: consistency, pls see List of one-word stage names. Lead states that she is better known (...best known by the mononym...) as "Charice" than "Charice Pempengco", and Charice is already a redirect to Charice Pempengco. --92.0.59.145 (talk) 20:02, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Oppose. She still uses her surname professionally, if inconsistently, similar to Beyoncé Knowles. Pempegco's IMDb profile still lists her under her surname, her MySpace URI has her surname in it (http://www.myspace.com/charicepempengco), as does her official Warner Records site (http://www.charicepempengco.com) and her Official fan site has her surname plastered all over it. --Jtalledo (talk) 22:23, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. See also [1] & [2] - seems it's not the article name that needs to be changed, but rather the lead - "best known by the mononym Charise" to "best known as Charice Pempengco, or simply Charise" "best known by the mononym Charice" to "best known as Charice Pempengco, or simply Charice". The supporting <ref> (added in response to a {{Fact}} tag inserted yesterday) isn't appropriate. 92.6.202.203 (talk) 02:14, 17 October 2009 (UTC) (previously 92.0.59.145)

Since I wrote the above, the lead had been slightly revised again by another editor. I have now changed "best known by the mononym Charice" to "best known as Charice Pempengco, or simply Charise" "best known by the mononym Charice" to " best known as Charice Pempengco, or simply Charice", removed the <ref> (was to http://www.charicesings.com - page makes no statements relevant to this), and linked to this discussion from the edit summary. 92.6.202.203 (talk) 10:32, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Oppose per Jtalledo. She is notably known here in the Philippines and many appearances in The Oprah Winfrey Show. She appearing notable concerts like David Foster and Josh Groban. My vote is Oppose and keeps her surname. ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 01:22, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I think the re-wording of the lead has now resolved the issue and agree that the article should not be moved. 92.6.202.203 (talk) 02:13, 19 October 2009 (UTC) (previously 92.0.59.145)

Philanthropy

This section is a stretch. Philanthropia more accurately describes people who voluntarily make substantial contributions to advance human welfare (e.g. Bill Gates). In Charice's case, she attended many of these events for the purposes of promotion. We need to see sources that describe her involvement as philanthropic otherwise the section can be removed.

Changing Name of Article to Simply "Charice"

She's now known simply as "Charice," without the last name. I mean, nobody introduces her as Charice Pempengco. What do people think?--Olduch (talk) 19:23, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

First Asian artist in history to land in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200

Yoko Ono released the duet album Double Fantasy with John Lennon in 1980, peaking at #1 on the Billboard 200. Should "First Asian artist in history to land in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200" be clarified as "First solo Asian artist..."? Burnberrytree (talk) 14:21, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I checked Billboard.com to verify if Double Fantasy by Yoko Ono and John Lennon reached Top 10 in Billboard 200. Billboard says "this album has never charted." (http://www.billboard.com/charts?tag=nav#/album/john-lennon-yoko-ono/double-fantasy/10397). The only source I could find about #1 position of Double Fantasy is Wikipedia itself. TheOneWithTheDeerOnIt (talk) 08:25, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

And she can't be the first Filipino either, since Enrique Iglesias has been on there before. You could rephrase it to say, perhaps, "the first artist from the Philippines." --Chris S. (talk) 04:39, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Enrique Iglesias, though he is half-Filipino, does not look Filipino nor Asian, in the same way that Barrack Obama cannot be called a white American though he is half-white. Yes, it's absurd to think of Obama as white because he certainly does not look like one; well, Enrique does not look Filipino--or Asian--either. In other words, the implication that Enrique is the "Filipino" who has made it to the Billboard Top 10 simply because his mother holds Filipino citizenship is absurd. The more appropriate statement is Enrique is the "Spaniard" who has made it to the Billboard Top 10, in the same way that Obama is always called the first black president of the US, never the first half-white US president. In any case, the point of the statement is that Charice is the first Asian who holds the record; and by Asian, that means someone who looks Asian, not someone who looks European but whose mother holds citizenship from an Asian country.--TheOneWithTheDeerOnIt (talk) 15:04, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Now you're being silly basing it on looks. So maybe had Enrique's sister Chabella had a hit, you'd be more accepting of her? Give me a break. You Americans are ridiculously obsessed with these stupid categories. Mamoahina (talk) 21:48, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

So you're only Asian if you "look Asian?" What does that mean? Asia spans from the Middle East to the Russian Far East and in between you have a plethora of colors - from the very dark Negritos to the Japanese and of course, everyone else in between. Using physical attributes in classifying someone's ethnic groups is a misleading concept shot down by many anthropologists. It just doesn't work.

On a personal level, I consider Philippine culture to be a huge part of who I am at saka marunong akong magTagalog. However, I do not "look Asian" thanks to being part white. So it would be ridiculous to use physical attributes as a criterion. So, Obama is as white as he is black and Enrique is as Spanish as he is Filipino. Is apl.de.ap not Filipino because he looks black despite him being born in the Philippines and able to speak Tagalog & Kapampangan? Let's not be silly here.

To be totally honestly, you could say that Charice is the first Philippine citizen, but that would depend on apl.de.ap's status. You would have to do a lot of digging to say she is the first Asian artist on the Billboard top 10, because I have my doubts about claim. --Chris S. (talk) 21:30, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Sukiyaki (song) was #1 in 1963. 216.93.213.191 (talk) 21:48, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I've found more Asians who made it into the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 before Charice did. They are cited with a link from Billboard's website. The edit has again been reverted. Before you revert, please look at the sources and keep in mind the various definitions of what an Asian is.

• apl.de.ap of Black Eyed Peas (Filipino!)
• Enrique Iglesias (Filipino)
• Norah Jones (Indian)
• Mike Shinoda & Joe Hahn of Linkin Park (Japanese & Korean)
• Carmit Bachar (Chinese & Indonesian)

--Chris S. (talk) 23:44, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

The list you provided shows your confusion over what the general population thinks of the term "Asian." When the term "Asian" is heard, does the general population think of someone like Norah Jones or Enrique Iglesias? Let's not be silly here. You might have your own definition of Asian due to your half-breed status, but if indeed you look white, anyone who sees you for the first time will not describe you as "Asian." That should show you that there is a generally accepted understanding of "Asian" which is definitely not looking like a European Caucasian or African-American. Again, to repeat, you are essentially saying that Barrack Obama should be called a white American because her mother is white. This is the same logic when you say that Enrique Iglesias should be called an "Asian" because her mother is Filipino/Asian. However, you do have a point of Mike Shinoda et al being Asian in the Billboard Top 200 album chart. Thus, Charice's distinction should be the "first solo Asian artist." By the way, thank you for spending time and effort to research your list. The whole world owes you. --TheOneWithTheDeerOnIt (talk) 09:20, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

What the general population thinks usually isn't scientific or correct, for that matter. As far as Filipinos are concerned, many argue that they aren't Asian at all. Think of the precedent you are setting.

Asian refers to ancestry. The people I cited, even if they do not look Asian (except for the people from Linkin Park because they are Asian enough for you!), are still Asian no matter how you try to twist it. There are many people in the Philippines who are in the same boat as Enrique Iglesias, and they are just as Asian as Charice is. Furthermore, what if a Negrito hypothetically makes it one day to the top 10? Are you going to deny them that too dahil hindi singkit o mukhang Intsik?

Reread the article on Asians I linked for you. It's a huge country with people of different looks. --Chris S. (talk) 13:58, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

This is getting ridiculous Chris. Charice is the first solo artist originating from the asian continent to land inside the top 10, all the artist and bands you link to are American. Lets have a look at the pesons you have provided links to:

Norah jones is born and raised in the United States and by all accounts an American artist, that her father is an Indian does not make her an Indian artist.

Enrique Iglesias was born in Madrid and the raised in Miami so he is by all accounts an American/Spanish artist.

Pussycat Dolls is an American R&B group, Carmit Bachar was born and raised in Los Angeles and is an american artist.

Linkin Park is an American rock band from California, all the bandmembers are born and rased in America and considered American artists.

The Black Eyed Peas is an American pop music group from Los Angeles. Apl.de.ap is an American artist, he just happens to be born outside is the USA, Charice released two records in her home country before releasing anything in the US.

I think all this is a problem of definition, IMO to be considerer an asian artist, you have to have started your career in Asia and then crossed over to the USA.

And who ever pointed to Yoko Ono, that was a record by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, not a solo effort by Yoko Ono an in the case of Charice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.60.9.108 (talk) 20:31, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Chris S. your statement was very confusing. You said : "And she can't be the first Filipino either, since Enrique Iglesias has been on there before. You could rephrase it to say, perhaps, "the first artist from the Philippines." That does not make sense at all. Are you saying that Enrique is Filipino based on the looks? That's plain silly. He may be 'half' Filipino but that's just his 'ethnic background'. Here in Wikipedia, they often list people based on their 'nationality'. Enrique was born in Spain hence his nationality is Spanish but he has Filipino ethnic background from his mother. Charice on the other hand CAN be classified as a 'Filipino' or in proper terms 'Filipina' because she was born in the Philippines to Filipino parents and resides there.Blueknightex (talk) 02:22, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

For God sake people, when they say the first Asian to reach number 8 in Billboard they mean the first foreign artist not holding American citizenship which happen to be from Asia. Charice is a citizen of the Philippines (an Asian country). She was not an American citizen when her single went to #8 in Billboard. She may become an American citizen later (who knows?), but until now she's a Filipino citizen. (Comment by begoodenblues) --68.45.198.69 (talk) 08:08, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

We require reliably published secondary sources to describe her as an "actress" and so on. Wikispan (talk) 18:40, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Articles about her appearance on "Glee" should be pretty easy to come by. 216.93.213.191 (talk) 21:11, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

That is not satisfactory. Two or three appearances in Glee is not enough to establish Charice, or anyone else, as a thespian. Please provide a secondary published source that describes Charice Pempengco as an "actress". Editors wishing to restore this material need to establish that she has experience or training. Please understand that many different public figures are unexpectedly offered television roles for which they have no prior training. Charice may have experience that I am not aware about. All I am asking for is a source that makes her profession explicitly clear. Wikispan (talk) 21:30, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

God, I hate editing Wikipedia. As if training is required to act, and there aren't a ton of actors who haven't had any. Where's the guideline that says someone's not an actor if they haven't been trained, Mr. Wikilaywer? What constitutes "training"? What constitutes "a profession" and where does it say that placement in an acting category means that it's their profession? Source your claims, sir. The answer is that it doesn't. It says she must be notable as an actor, and sources that make note of her acting on Glee suffice. -- AvatarMN (talk) 02:38, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Obtain a dictionary and examine the word "Occupation". She is no more an actress than buying a drum kit at Christmas makes her a drummer. Guest star appearances are meaningless. How many different shows has Charice appeared in -- five, ten, twenty? Can you point to a high quality source independent of the subject, such as the New York Times, that describe her as an actress, or provide meaningful coverage to her credentials in this area? Some sources say "aspiring actress" which by definition means she is striving for advancement. When reliable sources all begin to describe her as an actress, so can we. Wikispan (talk) 10:59, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Do you thing America's most successful country-pop artist, Taylor Swift, had much acting experience? However, you have no problem stating her as an actress. And how about the Canadian songstress, Celine Dion? She popped a minor appearance in about three television shows, and has one documentary, but does that make her an actress? However, she is also stated as "Singer, songwriter, actress". So, why can't we call Charice an actress? Care to explain? Disney09 (talk) 23:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Occupation is defined by WordWeb as "The principal activity in your life that you do to earn money". Charice is a renowned singer. Innumerable reliable sources describe her as a "singer". Please respect Wikipedia core guidelines. Wikispan (talk) 15:26, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Acting "is" one of the principal activities in Charice's life and she gets paid in doing it so it should be one of her occupations. She's part of the cast of Glee (TV series) and Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and even before that she has already done acting in a television show in the Philippines so she has already done acting both in television and in film and she got paid in doing it, and yes innumerable reliable sources describe her as a "singer" but she's also an actress it's not like we're replacing "singer" with "actress" as her occupation, we're only adding actress on her occupations as it should be. One of the creators of Glee, Ryan Murphy (writer) has already confirmed in his recent interview that Charice is going to appear in more episodes of Glee. Charice has also confirmed herself via her facebook account (I'm her friend in facebook by the way) that she had and still having acting lessons right now so she definitely has experience and has already been training in acting. Do we really need to provide a secondary published source that describes Charice Pempengco as an "actress"? I mean Glee is a popular TV show worldwide, the whole world already knows that Charice does acting, why is it so hard to put "actress" as one of her occupations in her Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChasterUnit0 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Reliable secondary sources are necessary because of the very small number of appearances (a guest spot on Glee and a brief cameo in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel; where she sings). To describe her as an "actress" is WP:RECENTISM: "Recentism is writing or editing without a long-term, historical view, thereby inflating the importance of a topic that has received recent public attention". Wikispan (talk) 23:02, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

She has small number of appearances because acting is not the only thing she does she also have a career as a singer, she's both a singer and an actress but she's more focused in her singing career but still she is earning money as an actress so it should be "one" of her occupations. What do you mean it is Recentism? She's been doing acting for a long time already way back when she's still a local artist in the Philippines and that was years ago and she gets paid in doing it. She is still doing it right now (she is still filming for more episodes of Glee) and I'm sure if she will be offered new roles in television and in film in the future she would still accept more (who wouldn't?) as she's been doing it already for years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChasterUnit0 (talk • contribs) 01:29, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

You have polietly been asked to provide reliable sources. If you are unable or cannot do so, the information can be removed. Wikispan (talk) 08:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

She acted on Maalaala mo kaya TV series in 2008 - Source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285677/

She was part of the cast of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel in 2009 Source: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/entertainment/03/27/09/charice-play-schoolgirl-chipmunks-2

She's also part of the cast of Glee as Sunshine Corazon in 2010 and she is still part of the cast in 2011 "Charice recently received her script for her next taping for Glee" - Büm D. Tenorio Jr. Source: http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=667768&publicationSubCategoryId=89

She's been acting since 2008 and still continues to act right now and so far she hasn't made any statement that she will stop acting so we could assume that if she will be given new roles in television or in film she would still accept it like she's been doing for the past few years. So acting is definitely "one" of her occupations aside from singing since it is clearly "ONE of the principal activities in her life" and she has "earned money and is still earning money" in doing it so her Occupations in her Wikipedia page should include "Actress". — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChasterUnit0 (talk • contribs) 03:35, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

That is original research. Guest appearances and television advertisements to one side, how many reliable sources can you find that actually describe Charice as an "actress"? It seems premature to call her an actress at this early point, so we go with what quality press sources say. Wikispan (talk) 14:39, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Charice rose to popularity as a singer that's why it is not surprising that most of the time she is described as a "singer" but that doesn't mean that we should forget that she's also an actress. All the more reason why we should put "actress" as one of her occupations in her Wikipedia page because aside from her fans, Glee fans and those who have seen her act, not many people knew about her being an actress. Like I said we are not replacing "singer" with "actress" as her occupation, we are only going to add it. She has actually been described many times already as an "actress" both in television and in newspapers, you can also find so many articles in the internet that also describes Charice as an "actress", here are some of them:

For those who are looking for sources, I offer these:

• "All eyes on Charice debut in 'Glee' 2". ABS-CBN News. 2010-09-21. Since then, a lot has already changed in the life of the singer-actress, who is currently nominated as the "Teen Icon of Tomorrow" in teen magazine J-14.
• Rodis, Rodel (2010-07-22). "Global Networking : Charice's botox apocalypse". INQUIRER.net. "An 18-year old actress has just undergone Botox treatment to prepare for her role in the TV series Glee," she reported with a disconcerting look on her face.
• "PEP: David Foster wants Charice to be 'first true Asian world superstar'". GMANews.TV. 2010-10-22. The singer-actress mentioned last May that her birthday wish is to be nominated in the Grammy Awards.

What a stupid argument by a bunch of n00b editors. If you have a SAG or AFTRA card then you are an actor. It's as simple as that. You might be a really crappy acter.

Residency

Someone, an IP editor has listed her in the List of Filipino Americans recently. This will be reverted as there is no cited reference from a reliable source stating that she now resides (permanently) in the United States, the minimal threshold to which she can be included as a Filipino American. To the best of my knowledge she is still a Citizen of the Philippines, and has not began the Naturalization process for any nation. If someone has any information regarding this, it would be greatly appreciated.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 08:55, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Barely Excaped???

In the first paragraph of this article it says, "After barely escaping her violent father, Charice was raised by her single mother..." WTF is this supposed to mean?? Barely escaped?! Like he was some ax killer who was chasing her and she 'barely escaped' before he chopped her head off? Come on, dude. This is written sooo lame. Also, I find it extremely funny that now the he is dead (murdered), she's all tears and 'boo-hoo for me I loved my daddy' and such. What BS!

Agreed, the barely escaping seems peacockish, and unencyclopedic.P0PP4B34R732 (talk) 01:14, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't think it's BS at all. He was about to shoot her mother -- and men who shoot their wives do often shoot the kids as well. It's not off base to say she barely escaped. People do remain attached to violent and abusive family members and often try to cover for them. It's very common that victims of abuse strongly resist intervention to save them from the abuser and end up getting killed as a result.charice escaped from the badman so be carefull too good thing chrice know how to take care of he self.

Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

• Oppose - The surname is "fairly often used" per WP:NCP. Probably five years since the prior RM, and I don't see how many non-fans refer to this person as "Charice". I prefer keeping "Pempengco" for encyclopedic purpose. George Ho (talk) 06:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose - per WP:NCP "Similarly, don't use a first name (even if unambiguous) for an article title if the last name is known and fairly often used. For example, Oprah Winfrey is the article title, and Oprah redirects there. Only if the single name is used as a true artist's name (stage name, pseudonym, etc.) can the recommendations of Nicknames, pen names, stage names, cognomens below be followed". In ictu oculi (talk)
  • So, basically you're contradicting yourself by stating that "Only if the single name is used as a true artist's name (stage name...) can the recommendations be followed" Please read my comment below and check the links. As you can see, "Charice" is her stage name. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 05:08, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Discussion

Any additional comments:

• I added back the "Pempengco" because the prior consensus in 2009 discussion opposed scrapping out "Pempengco". No one noticed that the consensus was violated twice. So move-protection was enabled. --George Ho (talk) 06:30, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Comment I was not aware of that discussion, which is why I just moved it. Instead of immediately requesting indefinite move protection you should have posted a message on my talk page pointing to the previous consensus. Anyways, "Charice" is pasted in freaking huge letters on her official website, she uses twitter as Charice, she releases music as Charice, her fansite, more, more, more, more and more. Furthermore, the links given in the previous rm like imdb and MySpace now all use the name "Charice". Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 08:37, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I wasn't sure that whether you will or will not do it again. Still, protection is the best bet, and unawareness of the prior discussion is no excuse for moving it deliberately. --George Ho (talk) 21:29, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Being bold and just moving the article is actually quite common on Wikipedia. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 05:08, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Umm... what do you mean? I don't get your general comment about "being bold" and your omitting the "be careful" part, which is what the guideline says. Oh, protection is needed to also prevent other people from moving it again and violating the consensus. It was moved a year ago by a different person without notice or discussion, so it was recently moved back. --George Ho (talk) 05:15, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Being bold as in it would have been perfectly fine to just move the article without discussion if there was lack of a previous one. I did not know about that rm discussion prior to the move, which is why I just moved it. Now, we are not here to discuss each other's behavior so please just drop it.Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 05:39, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

As for the sources you provided, why user-generated and fan-generated websites? ITunes, Last.fm, and Discogs use Pempengco, though one used it in prose, while the rest use it as birth name. There are sources using her full name: PhilStar, Manila Standard Today, Inquirer, Asianweek, CanIndia. And there are books, like this one. George Ho (talk) 06:00, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Of course, the biography states her last name but everything is listed as "Charice" (how is itunes user-generated btw). Madonna also says Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone but should her article be at Madonna Ciccone? As for your first three sources, that's in the Philippines. She was initially known there with her last name. But as she starred on Oprah and started releasing more music, she started using Charice as her stage name. Billboard magazine states her last name separately in brackets. Also here, here and here Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 06:45, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

There is Charice, but the book is referring to the "security guard" in Harlem, New York. In other words, probably African-American. I can't find Pempengco, but I can't find the girl's surname either. Nevertheless, when reading it, there's no mention about Charice the singer, nor is there a "singer". Another book doesn't mention the Filipina singer. If you can skip Billboard mags, I guess that Charice is ambiguous name when searching in Google Books. Here's the 2009 book referring to Pempengco, but that's old. More recent ones: [3][4][5][6], and 2013 books: [7][8]. George Ho (talk) 07:15, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

What is link 2 supposed to be? A diary? "Charice" might be ambigious, but there is nobody else of that specific name covered on wikipedia so she is the primary and only topic here. If you just take a look at all her releases, she uses "Charice" as her stage name everywhere. Why are you ignoring all the major sources I gave stating her use of "Charice" as a stage name and bombarding me with Google Books? Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 09:55, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Ray, Oprah and Billboard that you gave me are reliable. Unsure about Last.Fm and Discogs, but the rest you gave me are unreliable, like IMDB. Of course, "Charice" is used. Official releases are not the only ones. Is either name more commonly used by reliable sources? George Ho (talk) 10:26, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

What about her official website? Her twitter account is a confirmed account. iTunes certainly is reliable. iMDB can be partially reliable as it is not like Wikipedia where a user just edits the page, the edit has to be confirmed by staff first. Discogs works similar. She is commonly credited as simply Charice like for example on Glee, where she guest-starred for three episodes, only "Charice" appears during the opening credits. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 12:59, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

For now they are active. But they won't last that long; I might give them 40 years for activity. As for credits, that's Glee for you. Here's the broken imdb link: [9]. Checking the credits, they omit Pempengco recently. George Ho (talk) 03:45, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

40 years of activity for what? Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 04:23, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

I meant to say that official sources may last for 10 or 40 years, depending on how active a source is. George Ho (talk) 09:09, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

The internet hasn't existed for 40 years yet. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 11:45, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

WP:INVOLVED redirects to WP:administrators, and there is WP:RMCI#Relisting. Try contacting WP:WPBIO first. George Ho (talk) 19:58, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

What does that have to do with relisting? As far as I know relisting≠closing. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 05:58, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

The instruction says that relisting "is optional and up to the closer." Well, since you are not qualified a "closer" for this discussion, you can ask an administrator in WT:RM about whether a nominator can relist own discussion. George Ho (talk) 06:10, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Okay, but I don't get it though. Why would relisting be up to the closer and the closer alone?Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 06:36, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

The closer has to decide whether the consensus is adequate or insufficient. If insufficient, the closer can relist it. If adequate, the discussion can be closed by the closer. George Ho (talk) 06:39, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

I mean, why can't anyone just relist? Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 08:42, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

As usual, I don't see nominators relisting their own requests right now. And relisting own discussion without determining the consensus is a bad idea and probably discouraged. Since you probably disagree with opposers (or rebutted or attempted to rebut our arguments), I can't let you relist without discussing in WT:RM first. George Ho (talk) 08:58, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Okay, but I still don't see the point. I mean relisting it just puts it back to the top of the list at WP:RM Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 14:55, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Barjimoa (talk) 15:24, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose - The WP:COMMONNAME is misinterpreted. In actuality, it does encourage commonly used name only if it's neither ambiguous nor inaccurate. There is Charisse, now a dabpage. Also, WP:NCP normally discourages using just a first name as a title. "Charice" itself is stage name... but it's not a nickname, like Fergie. Also, I might knew who Charice is, but I wouldn't know which Charice or Charisse, especially when they are homonymous. I did oppose in the past RM only because I assumed the surname is "fairly often used" per sources. This year, the surname is still "fairly often used". Speaking of Charice, there is a Barbados jeweler Charise/Charice. --George Ho (talk) 01:24, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

This is backwards to how this is usually done, but it's become obvious we need a consensus of the proper use of male/female pronouns in reference to Jake Zyrus/Charice. At this point, we need to voice our opinion for Male: or Female: concerning changing all of the pronouns in this article. Please indicate your choice in the Survey subsection by starting your entry with a bullet (* followed by a space) then your choice in bold. Follow that with a brief explanation for the way you vote. If you feel the need for a longer explanation, please put that in the Discussion subsection. I'll vote first as an example. The final consensus will decide which way to go and we will abide by that.

I think Myk meant for it to be here, but currently the section is full of the !voting nonsense below.

Newimpartial (talk) 23:19, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

That was an incredibly biased statement that was put in the RfC. But it's gone now, so my point is moot. I tried to mediate what was starting to become a strangely diffuse edit war. No one person was doing the reverts. That stopped while the discussion was going on. Well, several editors have stepped in waving their flags, and I'm irrelevant. I was told I was doing it wrong, so I tried to do it right. See where that went. I expect this article to be deleted in a year for being overworked by opposing editors. Good luck.  — Myk Streja ^(what?) 09:58, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Survey

• Female: Jake only recently declared for male, and his past was lived as the female Charice. Only recently has Zyrus lived as a male and none of the notable events were as a male. — Myk Streja ^(who?) 03:10, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

• Female: Born female, the vast majority of the article is related to times when Charice identified as female. After the announcement of the name Jake, there should be gender neutral language for events after the announcement, as it hasn't been confirmed by Jake if they now identify as male and wish to use male pronouns, or if this is just a stage name/publicity stunt to fix a failing career. Events after the name change should change to male, if (and only if) it is confirmed by Jake that they wish to use male pronouns and this is not just a short term publicity stunt. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:06, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

• Male: The singer has declared to be a transgender male, and not a "female with a stage name". Regardless of past declarations and presentation at the time of events, the trans community is vocal that a trans person should always be referred to by their chosen pronouns. This makes sense there's still stigma regarding 'coming out of the closet' as trans, and more likely as not the person has felt like a given gender for longer than they have been publicly trans. Considering the numerous declarations Jake has given about his gender identity through the years, this is likely true for him as well. Tl;DR: Jake has always been male, even if he declared himself publicly as such only recently, so should always be referred to as such.187.121.98.23 (talk) 07:40, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

There is a problem with this vote: it's not signed by a registered user.  — Myk Streja ^(who?) 02:55, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Ummm, why would that be a problem. There's no requirement that one must be a registered user to participate in this discussion. David in DC (talk) 23:14, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Anyway, all of this silly !voting happened before the most recent sources became available, so it is now all irrelevant. Newimpartial (talk) 23:16, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

• Male First off, 'tho, !voting is evil. Policy-based analysis is how we decide things here. And this "survey" should not be closed by a participant in the discussion. There's no deadline.
  As is always the case, we should follow the sources. Jake posted to social media about this and deleted all his previous tweets. All of our sources reporting on this change use male pronouns. One of them even includes a direct quotation from one of Jake's representatives, using male pronouns. David in DC (talk) 16:10, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

• Male, though this isn't a matter to vote on but a matter of policy and respect. The current gender of the subject is indisputably self-declared male, according to reliable sources, and any discussion of the subject in the present tense (or concerning the recent past) must reflect this.

What I don't know, is what WP policy is concerning pronouns in biographies of subjects who are broadly transgender. The Caitlyn Jenner article, for example, simply doesn't use pronouns at all for the whole period before ex-Bruce announced himself as Caitlyn. But is this a policy or a local consensus? Newimpartial (talk) 16:21, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

The relevant policy is at MOS:GENDERID: "Give precedence to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources." As this subject has publicly declared a name and gender change to male then the current name and he/his pronouns should be used throughout this article, unless the subject has clearly stated a preference for a different pronoun set. Funcrunch (talk) 16:29, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

• Male. There is a reasonable presumption that someone coming out as trans is expressing a part of their identity that extends back well before the announcement. I wouldn't object to avoiding gendered pronouns prior to the coming out, since different trans people approach that issue differently, and sourcing on the details of self-identification is a bit thin.--Trystan (talk) 20:59, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Discussion

This article really needs a segment where the actual conversion from Charice to Jake occurs and a discussion of what led him to this point. Keep in mind that until he declared himself male, all of his past is as a female. This has made the article quite controversial, even more so than the brouhaha over his going by the mononym Charice. There is going to be gender-tense confusion during those years from declaring his soul male until he finally proclaimed his identity. Prior to that, he identified himself as a lesbian, thereby earning the female pronoun. Extra care needs to be taken with the pronouns: referring to his past requires she be identified as female. Referring to the here-and-now, he is a male. — Myk Streja ^(who?) 02:42, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

We should need to have a discussion at WP:RM. ApprenticeFan ^work 12:10, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

No. This topic is not about moving the article. You can start another topic about that, but it is just as likely to fail as the last two attempts. — Myk Streja ^(who?) 02:27, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Do you suggest that all pronouns from when Charice was Charice be changed to "he" ? Do they only get changed after the change of identity? Is this just an attempt to gain media attention? With quotes like "Not exactly transitioning into a male" it is hard to justify the use of "he" in this article. I'd say using the term "Transvestite" or "cross-dresser" is more accurate than "Transgender" in this situation, where they don't want to be male, but they do want to wear male clothes. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:21, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Please review Chelsea Manning. It's in full compliance with our rules for articles about transgender people. It uses "she" throughout, whether talking about events pre-transition or post-transition. That's how this article should read, too.

As for the issue of whether he's had, or will have, surgery as part of his transition, that's irrelevant. We follow a transgender person's pronoun preferences once they come out as transgender. If you review our sources on this, they do say he's come out as trans. David in DC (talk) 20:16, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

It's not as clear as that. She is a lesbian who wears masculine clothes. She has already stated that she is "Not exactly transitioning into a male". In Philippines culture, she is a tomboy, ie. a butch lesbian. Are butch lesbians considered to be transgender now?

Quote:"At that point, Winfrey asked whether the singer had ever considered himself transgender. "Were you thinking about, like, transitioning to become a male?" the talk show host asked. "Not exactly transitioning to, like, a male-male," Zyrus said at the time. "Basically, my soul is male, but I'm not going to go through that stage where I'm going to change everything. I'll cut my hair and wear boy clothes and everything, but that's all."

So it seems to me as if the media is tagging her with a transgender identity, due to a lack of familiarity with Philippine LGBT culture, but in the Philippines, she is just a tomboy (butch lesbian)

I agree, that it's nothing to do with surgery, it's everything to do with self-identity - and with comments like "my soul is male" clashing with "Not exactly transitioning to, like, a male-male" and "I'll cut my hair and wear boy clothes and everything, but that's all." - there is no clear male identification. Right now, Charice is as much of a transgender as Ellen DeGeneres and Wikipedia certainly doesn't use male pronouns for her. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:14, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

I get what you're saying. I'm not so sure, though, that the sources agree.

Charice, live-in partner break up after 4 years Not only uses male pronouns, but also includes a quote from "Carl Cabral, the singer's handler" referring to Charice with male pronouns.

Former Glee Star Comes Out as Trans and Reveals New Name. Uses male pronouns

Charice changes name to Jake Zyrus Uses male pronouns. David in DC (talk) 16:48, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

The first two articles were written in June of this year, the third in April, long after Jake declared for male. Goes back to my contention that Jake should be referred to as female while he was still Charice. — Myk Streja ^(who?) 02:34, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Self identity should be the priority. A news article can use whichever pronoun it wants to in an article, that certainly doesn't mean that Jake identifies with that gender. Content referring to before becoming Jake, should use the female pronouns, of course. Content after should use neutral pronouns until there is confirmation from Jake as to which pronoun is preferred. It's a bit rude (as well as a huge BLP issue) to decide someone's identity without having the decency to wait for them to confirm it themself. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 09:32, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Transitioning "in steps" is not at all unusual, and does not negate the persons "transgenderness". His twitter is filled with him sharing newsstories that call him transgender without correction. In fact, there's a retraction article by esquire magazine regarding this mistake (thinking is was just a stage name/tomboy issue, and not a transgender one). So, yes, there's no doubt he is, at this point, identifying as transgender. Lastly, regardless of past declarations, the desided and accepted way of going about things is always refering to the individual in their prefered pronouns, regardless of past presentation. So the article should be fully changed to masculine articles. the Esquire retraction

Jake's comment "Not exactly transitioning to, like, a male-male" & "I'll cut my hair and wear boy clothes and everything, but that's all." "I'm not going to go through that stage where I'm going to change everything" seem to contradict claims that Jake is transgender. So, yes, there is doubt that Jake is transgender. If there is doubt, then use neutral terms as to avoid a huge BLP issue.

I agree that we use preferred pronouns, that is the only fair way to do things. Show me where Jake has expressed a desire to be referred to using male pronouns and I will agree with their use. Or are you just relying on synthesis to support the use of male pronouns? There are articles calling Jake "he" - Jake hasn't corrected those articles, therefore Jake must agree with them and wishes to use a male pronoun. That's a pretty big step to take, when the easiest choice is to wait for Jake to mention the preferred pronoun and use it and until that time, make use of gender neutral language. There is no time limit for articles, so why jump into something that has BLP and SYNTH issues, when we are likely to receive an answer at some time in the future, from the subject of the article, that will make all of this discussion irrelevant with a simple confirmation of which pronoun is preferred? Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:59, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

It is not that he simply "hasn't corrected" articles refering to him as trans - every single article he linked on his Twitter, refers to him as such. The only one which didn't, made a retraction in which there are the GLAAD guidelines for dealing with trans people in media. There is also the fact the he deleted all pre-transition social media, and is using "Jake" in his personal life (negating it is a "stage name"). Re: the quoted past declarations about not transitioning, like I said, transitioning in steps (which is to mean, negating they are really trans from the get go, but eventually getting there) is pretty common, so him saying he wasn't trans a few years ago, doesn't negate him identifying as such today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.121.98.23 (talk) 05:37, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Is there any part of the above that isn't synthesis? I'm not suggesting that we stubbornly use female pronouns until there is something clarifying the use of male pronouns from Jake - however until clarification, we should be using gender neutral language. Don't worry, if Jake wishes male pronouns to be used, then I'm sure that preference will be voiced and at such time, the article can be changed, but we should wait until that happens before changing the article. Important things to remember are WP:DEADLINE WP:SYNTHESIS WP:BLP Spacecowboy420 (talk) 05:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

The only thing I see with what Jake did is that he is trying to delete his past. He doesn't want to be who he was, which is actually quite futile: we are the sum of who we were. Experience shapes us. He can't change that and he can't erase it. He was Charice, and everything he did as Charice will remain.

Here's an allegory: a young woman is born a Briton. She is raised as a Briton and she identifies with other Britons. But she doesn't feel like a Briton, no, rather she identifies with the Celts. One day she announces she is a Celt and will wear Celtic clothing and act in the manner of the Celts. Can she really go through her life and force others to say she has always been a Celt? Transgender is a hot button for political correctness.  — Myk Streja ^(who?) 00:55, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Or something a little more recent. If someone was born white to white parents and has "German and Czech heritage with "faint traces" of Native American ancestry." but felt that she was black, should she be considered black? Rachel Dolezal and should people be forced to refer to her as black? And yes, the past happened and a quick change of stage name won't change that. I'm just wondering how long it is because Charice has another new name, that is used as an attempt to drum up some media attention for a failing career. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 07:05, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Okay, I'm not going to point any fingers, but there's at least two editors here who haven't posted in the survey. I'm not pushing for a deadline, but it might draw some more opinions out of the lurkers.  — Myk Streja ^(who?) 05:19, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Guilty as charged. I didn't post in the survey. But now I have, thanks for the reminder. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:07, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

How about this for an allegory: A man presents as heterosexual and is exclusively romantically involved with women. The man then publicly comes out as gay, and from that point exclusively is involved with men. Do we write the article to suggest that the man was straight and turned gay, or would we accept his claims that he was always gay, public presentation to the contrary notwithstanding?--Trystan (talk) 20:44, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

At what point does the alleged homosexual male's gender change? What pronouns change to reflect this change? What parts of an article would have to be edited to be accurate?  — Myk Streja ^(what?) 21:04, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Anyway, this is a really clear example of where an overall Wikipedia principle, in this case MOS:GENDERID, overrules any local consensus, !vote-based or allegory-based or what have you. If reliable sources document that the subject of this article is now Jake and use male pronouns for him, we have no choice but to do likewise. It's not really a matter of opinion. Newimpartial (talk) 20:58, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

"This guideline is a part of the English Wikipedia's Manual of Style." Those words are at the top of every page that starts out WP:MOS, including the main topic. It is not a principal, it is a guideline. "Local" consensus? This is the Internet! We are global. Should we poll the audience and see how many countries are represented? Reliable sources document that Jake is now Jake. That implies that once he was not Jake. This is why votes are called.  — Myk Streja ^(what?) 21:04, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

I don't think you understand what is meant here by a guideline, Myk. A wikipedia guideline is a standard for how to treat a certain kind of case. It is not enforceable in the same way as a policy, but it is also not to be abandoned or altered because a particular group of editors, on a page or working on a project, for example, want to do something else. This is what is meant by a "local consensus", by the way. It is inappropriate for a group of editors to vote on a particular talk page on an issue on which a widely-discussed guideline (and there aren't many guidelines more widely discussed than the MOS) applies, and the policy is that subjects of biographies who come into new names and new identities are discussed according to their new, not their former, names and identies.

In this situation, voting is not appropriate; adhering to the guideline is. We can take this to the appropriate noticeboard if you don't believe me, but that is what you will be told there. Newimpartial (talk) 00:49, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Attempting to derail this discussion by proclaiming it to be in violation of policy is what is not appropriate. Attempting to single me out as the bad guy is inappropriate. From the diff report, your edit summary: " (→‎Discussion: The MOS is not a guideline to be ignored by a local consensus, like the one Myk is trying (and failing) to build here.) (undo | thank)" I am not the only voice here, nor am I the loudest. I only started this discussion to channel the issue and to get everyone to either change all the references to male, or accept that it was only after 2013. There was an edit war brewing. I stopped it. I can go away and let the war begin. What do you think?  — Myk Streja ^(what?) 01:15, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

What I think is that you - and everyone else - should observe the MOS now that it has been pointed out. Building a local consensus, where no site-wide guideline applies, is fine. Building a local consensus about how the MOS applies (for example, whether to use masculine pronouns or no pronouns before Charice became Jake, either of which conforms to the MOS) is fine. Building a local consensus about the sources about the name change to Jake - it is now clear that the name change is unanimous in reliable sources - was positively helpful.

What is not helpful is using a poll to determine whether the MOS should be observed, once the facts are known. It should be, and pointing that out is not "attempting to derail this discussion" - it directing the discussion where it ought to proceed, according to the WP policy against letting local consensus overrule site-wide guidelines for no good reason. Newimpartial (talk) 01:29, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

You know what? You know so much, it's yours. I didn't really want to do this, I'd rather be building content not defending it from critics. This page has been very contentious, and you are a johnny-come-lately with all the answers. Good luck.  — Myk Streja ^(what?) 01:56, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry if you feel that way, Myk, but if you read my contributions on the talk page that isn't what happened. I read the discussion establishing the name change, I asked (above) what WP policy was supposed to be in such cases, I received a very good answer, then read the relevant guidelines, and then proceeded to intervene in the discussion on the basis of the MOS. I don't have all the answers - I am precisely asking here how the guidelines of MOS:GENDERID ought to be applied here - but ignoring them just isn't on. I'm sorry that you feel my intervention on this point has been hamhanded, but I don't see how you are "defending" anything "from critics" except defending the idea of !voting against critics who want to applying WP policy - and if that is what you're defending, that means you're sort of WP:NOTHERE already, doesn't it? Newimpartial (talk) 02:11, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, Newimpartial - but you don't get to define what a policy and what a guideline is. Granted, it's not an essay that can easily be ignored as an opinion piece, but it allows room for common sense and article consensus. If you disagree with that or how this guideline is enforced on this article, I have a few suggestions for you.

1. Gain consensus for the gender pronouns you wish to be used, by using the talk page here - I'm sure all involved will respect consensus.

2. Gain consensus for how wikipedia guidelines are used, because the current consensus makes it very clear that there exceptions may apply, so you can't enforce the MOS:GENDERID guideline as if it were a policy.

3. Gain consensus and have MOS:GENDERID made a policy, rather than just a guideline - that will remove our current option of being able to apply exceptions, due to it being a guideline.

to sum up - guidelines =/= policy. Consensus has agreed that there are exceptions to guidelines and consensus will agree on when those exceptions are applied, that consensus is something you are able to contribute towards, but it's not your decision to make. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:58, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Spacecowboy, if you want to take this discussion to a noticeboard, than either of us could happily do so. However, you can't simply declare on your own that an exception applies in this case. I am not stating that GENDERID is a policy (in fact, I stated that it cannot be so applied, above), but it also can't be ignored without reason because of an editor's feelings.

AFAICT, there is no case within WP guidelines for using feminine pronouns in the article. Masculine pronouns may be used, or pronouns may be avoided for the pre-rename period. Which would you prefer, Spacecowboy? Newimpartial (talk) 12:49, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

As I have previously stated, female pronouns should be used for the period prior to the name change and neutral language should be used for the period after the name change, until such time as a preferred pronoun is stated by Jake. If you are basing the use of male pronouns on a few selected sources, then I fear you are being a little too hasty and not looking at enough sources - as there are reliable recent sources that still use female pronouns for Jake, state that "The singer made it clear that ‘Jake Zyrus’ is just her screen name ", and that becoming transgender is something that Jake might consider in the future (ie. it hasn't happened yet, and might never happen). Jake has been active in the media but hasn't stated a preferred male pronoun or that they self identify as male or transgender. MOS:GENDERID is all about self identification, which there hasn't been, well not since Charice self identified as a lesbian. So, I prefer the option that you didn't mention - Female pronouns pre name change and neutral language post name change. Don't worry, the moment Jake identifies as male or expresses a preference for male pronouns, the article can be changed - but to do it now, would be hasty and a major BLP issue. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:53, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

BTW - no changes should be made until we have achieved consensus on this talk page. Discussion is better than an edit war. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 07:01, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

First of all, Spacecowboy, nobody has introduced male pronouns into the article up to now. You reverted my edit that removed gendered pronouns from the lede, which is not at all the same thing.

Second, who is your reliable, recent source that still uses female pronouns for Jake? That is absolutely crucial to this discussion, so please provide the source.

Finally, if there is not a balance of reliable, recent sourcing in support of female pronouns for Jake, then they should not be used in the article. You get that, right? Newimpartial (talk) 12:43, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

You don't seem to get it at all, do you? You wish to change an article, the burden is yours to provide sources and gain consensus to support that change. You made a change to a stable article, you got reverted - so you need to work on sources and consensus. As I've said numerous times, just wait. If Jake really is transgender, identifying as male and desires male pronouns - then Jake will make a statement and the article can be changed easily. I think your comments on this thread are showing a lack of WP:COMPETENCE - this lack of competence has already been pointed out on at least a couple of ANI threads - [10] [11]. I don't think you're acting in bad faith, and I think that in the end male pronouns will be used if they are required - but that will have to wait to see what Jake says. Don't forget, there is no time limit - it's not like there is some offensive content that needs to be removed ASAP, so please wait and don't turn this into an edit war. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 13:37, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Actually, I do get it. I am not notably impatient; I'm not upset about the revert, and I fully recognize that there is WP:NODEADLINE.

Several reliable sources have been presented for the new name, which use masculine pronouns. As above, I am asking what reliable source still uses feminine pronouns for Jake, since you made this extraordinary claim. I can wait.

I am also a bit confused what kind of "sourcing" would be required not to use pronouns in the lede; I was proposing a WP:BOLD compromise which, honestly, I saw as a small step that would be less jarring than introducing masculine pronouns.

By the way, my alleged competence issues had to do with Miscellany for Deletion, so they are not really germane here. :) Newimpartial (talk) 14:05, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

The problem is, that unlike most content - we are not looking for sources that use male pronouns, we are looking for sources that confirm that Jake self identifies as male and state that male pronouns are preferred by Jake. That is something that we are still lacking. Here is one source using female pronouns [12] and it's not really an extraordinary claim for someone born female to be using female pronouns, when they have confirmed that they haven't transitioned to male and are only considering it, it seems like a very regular and normal claim. And yeah, I know that your competence issues and warning were not related to article content, but it concerns me a little and makes me consider that if you have competence issues with one part of Wikipedia, then there might be issues on other parts of Wikipedia. It's nice that you make WP:BOLD edits, they are an important part of WP:BRD Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:28, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

On the subject of competence issues, it doesn't fill me with confidence in your competence (or lack of) when I see you reverting edits that removed a picture of the incorrect person with a summary of "Picture is the correct person" when the person you had reverted had already stated "Removed photo of a different person" - it took me 30 seconds to confirm that picture was not Jake. This stuff isn't hard, it's not rocket science, but if you can't confirm the identity of a photo of the subject of this article, maybe you should be working on articles that you have a little more knowledge of? Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:36, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

I completely agree re: WP:BRD, and we are now fully in the discussion mode. You are right, that I should not have reverted the photo edit without investigation; that was a new mistake for me, and one I won't make again. After the article you linked above, I do now understand how the poster found the image, since the two singers are referenced in the same media sources.

Speaking of the source you provided, though, isn't this source [13] both more recent and more relevant? Also, it seems that Zake had both breasts removed in March, and has been on testosterone since, so can't we put an end to the question of whether Zake is "transitioning"? It is also clear from the interview that Zake no longer identifies with female pronouns ... Newimpartial (talk) 14:50, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Problem solved - we now have the reliable source for self identification that was lacking. I'd suggest, changing all post name change pronouns to male and using neutral language for events prior to the name change. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 08:17, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Should we still refer to Jake as "Pempengco" ? I guess it's still his official name (birth certificates etc) and it's the easy gender neutral solution for sections that require gender neutral language.Spacecowboy420 (talk) 08:33, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

For now, I have left "Charice" as a stage name, with no pronouns, which I think may satisfy the letter (though not the intent) of [MOS:GENDERID]]. I am certainly open to suggestions - besides inserting feminine pronouns, which is not on, as previously discussed.

Also, unless someone has something important to add, here, I think this section should be closed after this week's news, and another section possibly be opened about how to most cleanly edit the article in the Jake Zyrus era. Newimpartial (talk) 02:28, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
