Regarding the subject's notability, an article about him in Wired was published a few days ago.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.136.41.205 (talk) 14:16, 18 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Please DO NOT remove the writing discography section

edit

Only remove it if making a writing discography draft article for Steve Lacy. He does not yet have his own main article, so please do not delete that section from this current article draft otherwise. Thank you. Bmegrl9113 (talk) 18:07, 6 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Is there any need to tag an edit as possible BLP issue or vandalism if there was no intent in vandalizing?

edit

Serious question. Most people are going to think someone with the name 'Steve' has a full birth name of 'Steven' or 'Stephen', just saying.

Alternate parentheses - move title

edit

As Lacy is clearly become notable for being a singer-songwriter, I believe his parentheses should be moved to Steve Lacy (singer-songwriter) - away from (guitarist). CaffeinAddict (talk) 04:57, 19 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

I agree, there should definitely be an update to the article name. Lacy is a musician, not just a guitarist. But I also think he could even get the main billing of Steve Lacy on here. He's probably the most notable Steve Lacy at this point, especially with a Wikipedia page. He has been well known for the past few years, and has been getting a ton of recognition lately.

I also agree because of the reasons that you and the other person stated. dksn123 (talk) 02:11, 27 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 3 October 2022

edit
The following is a closed 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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Steve Lacy (singer). Those who oppose contend that it may be too soon to move to the primary topic title, arguing that the high page views are a result of recentism and also on long-term significance. However, it is noted that this article has been getting high amount of page views since 2019. Nonetheless, the consensus is that it is too soon for now to move to the primary topic title, and recognising that an update to the parenthetical qualifier should be carried out. Of the various qualifiers presented, (singer) has the most support. (closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky (talk) 17:02, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply


– It is pretty clear that this Steve Lacy has become the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Steve Lacy. If you take a look at page statistics for other Steve Lacy's and compare them to the statistics for this one, you can see clearly see that this one is the most sought after. The (guitarist) disambiguation also doesn't cover Steve Lacy perfectly as he is more known for his activity as a singer-songwriter. Changing it to Steve Lacy would kill two birds with one stone.

Among the occupations listed in the lead sentence — Steve Lacy (guitarist), Steve Lacy (singer), Steve Lacy (songwriter) or Steve Lacy (producer) — I would likewise support the parenthetical qualifier that appears to be the most intuitive — Steve Lacy (singer). —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 20:06, 5 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Added move of associated dab, so I can support. Cutting out the recent spike in views, we can see that the singer-songwriter has had roughly a 10k views a month since July 2019 if not earlier. So this has been primary topic by views for about three years. This is also borne out by the July and August 2022 WikiNav data (scroll down for August 2022's raw numbers).

  • Support to an extent. I definitely agree that an update should be made to the title, as Steve Lacy has since evolved from being just known as a guitarist. Although, I also understand how it might be too soon to give Lacy the main title. Perhaps a better disambiguation is more necessary, such as Steve Lacy (singer) or Steve Lacy (singer-songwriter). I would say those titles are more accurate at this point. ChartsFan001 (talk) 19:47, 6 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

The result of the move request was: Moved per WP:Primary Topic (non-admin closure) >>> Extorc.talk 20:19, 12 May 2023 (UTC)Reply


– It's been over six months since the last move discussion. He's now won a grammy, been nominated in two major categories, and was named as one of the most influential people in the world by Time. It seems clear that the singer is the primary topic. The Midnite Wolf (talk) 18:37, 5 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
