Cry Baby World Tour article

There needs to be an article created for her world tour. Crybbluvyduby (talk) 03:43, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

It was redirected previously because of a lack of sources. She played House of Blues type of venues and those type of tours are generally not notable. But I would be happy to discuss sources here. Karst (talk) 08:53, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

On her fan wikia, several articles include all of the dates and venues she played during The Crybaby World Tour http://melanie-martinez.wikia.com/wiki/Cry_Baby_Tour http://melanie-martinez.wikia.com/wiki/Cry_Baby_Tour_Part_2 Crybbluvyduby (talk) 00:17, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Sorry to necrobump this; I agree that the tour needs to be acknowledged, but unless it has several "non-trivial" sources to back up its notability, it can't have its own article. Otherwise, I suggest a small subsection for it on the album. Based on my Google results however, I'm leaning towards the latter, as the only real, viable source I found was an Idolator article, as well as a couple of AXS articles. --Aleccat 02:18, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Persistent vandalism due to rape allegations

Users such as Dadstootz have been vandalizing this article, calling her "Felony Martinez" and a "rapist." Not only does this violate NPOV, but it's potentially libelous since the allegations have not been proven. Is this page semi-protected yet? Innocent people have been falsely accused in the past, such as Kobe Bryant, so she may very well be innocent. I have seen tweets that appear to implicate Ms. Heller as having lied for attention ([1], [2], [3]), but surely Wikipedia might want stronger evidence. Just because somebody says something doesn't make it true. But in any case, these edits are disruptive and blatant vandalism. Thanks. PF4Eva (talk) 09:11, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Martinez's second statement

Martinez's second statement seems to confirm that Heller made the whole thing up. According to Heller's interview with Newsweek [4], the sexual assault happened June 25, 2015. However, Martinez was in New York [5] and Heller was in LA [6]. Without getting into specifics, a lot of things don't add up, and Martinez's most recent statement appears to confirm this. Is it safe to analyze these inconsistencies? PF4Eva (talk) 03:09, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

I think including her statement analyzes it well. To delve too deep into the accusations would be biased. Aleccat 03:21, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Fair enough. Thanks. PF4Eva (talk) 04:34, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

The entire statement is undue weight and clearly attempts to tip the balance against Heller. The brief way it's presented today is neutral and balanced. Additionally, the whole statement contains general comments not directly related to Heller's claims.--Tenebrae (talk) 23:06, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

I highly disagree, in terms of context. I'm not starting an edit war however. --Aleccat 23:15, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Much appreciated, especially given PF4Eva's own admission that he wants to claim "Heller made the whole thing up." None of us was there, none of us knows these two, and armchair detective work is OR and WP:SYNTH. --Tenebrae (talk) 23:21, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

WP:UNDUE

I concur with User:General Ization's revert of User:Lilg54g's reinsertion today of the WP:UNDUE edit Lilg54g made on Dec. 24. I would ask Lilg54g to discuss the issue on this talk page rather than edit-warring. --Tenebrae (talk) 03:17, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

At least two editors have each reverted User:Lilg54g's WP:UNDUE edit, and Lilg54g today continues to slow-motion edit-war. If this continues, admin intervention will be requested. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:08, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

"Never said no"

In the rape allegation section, it says that apparently Heller "never said no". However, this is misleading, because although in this context it makes it seem as if Martinez is confirming rape, just saying that Heller never said no. However, this is misleading. What Martinez was actually saying was "She never said no to anything we did together". Id suggest we extend this quote out to here to avoid any misconceptions

Shouldn't She and The Elder Be Disambiguated?

Both Peyton Lists have already been disambiguated. And she is a famous singer from New York while the elder who's 23 years her senior was a host for what was formerly named Sprout.

So should the article be renamed to Melanie Adele Martinez just to avoid confusion with the not so famous other. May or may not happen.

Good night,

67.81.163.178 (talk) 01:15, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

They already are disambiguated. This article is located at "Melanie Martinez (singer)" and the one for Melanie Martinez the actress is at "Melanie Martinez (actress)". I don't see the confusion. Why would we want to change the method of disambiguation? -- irn (talk) 06:11, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

K-12

Melanie confirmed that there would be thirteen songs on the album and a hour-and-a-half long film coming out with it, which she directed and wrote. She also said the album would be released September 6, 2019, and that she would be going on tour to promote it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:802:8300:1475:C550:8F4A:C3B6:319 (talk) 17:06, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Add Alternative R&B to her genres

Melanie Martinez fuses many different instruments with a lot of R&B inspired music. Songs such as Play Date, which features some R&B tings & a singing style of the sort, as well as her new After School EP show Melanie as a alternative R&B artist with a lot of the songs fusing alternative pop with R&B, creating alternative R&B. Therefore, I think she should have Alternative R&B added to her categories. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aidenrouhani (talk • contribs) 18:09, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Melanie is also a dancer !!!

Melanie Martinez danced on the K-12 tour and in the film! She also choreographed “The Bakery” music video !!!! LittleBodyBigStan (talk) 04:04, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Play Date Music Video

Melanie actually cancelled the Play Date music video due to their budget, time, and the pandemic. Instead, she’s working on her next film and album, a sequel to K-12! I look forward to their next masterpiece, but it won’t be a music video for Play Date LittleBodyBigStan (talk) 04:11, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

LittleBodyBigStan, this is mentioned in the article for the song, but no source is provided. Do you happen to have one? Elizium23 (talk) 04:14, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Pronouns

Hi just wanted to point out that Melanie Martinez's pronouns are she/they so it would be more inclusive to them if you could use both when talking about her (see I did it just then, its really not that difficult). Just a thought and no it won't be confusing to read at all if you state their pronouns so people can respect her the way they want people to. MoreRoyalThanYou (talk) 13:14, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

THIS !!! :) LittleBodyBigStan (talk) 04:05, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

I wanted to say this too, it’s really important (to me and other people, maybe not to other people but mel deserves respect especially regarding their pronouns) <33 Nessabali (talk) 08:46, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

i agree to the fact that this wikipage should respect Mel’s pronouns ( she/they )! As a person who goes by she/they themselves, i would love to see this page respect her pronouns! Its not that hard to use pronouns correctly, and +, it will probably make them feel nice about it ( and us too^^ ) ! ~ Ariellathefruitynby (talk) 06:57, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Discography

K-12 (2019) should be added to discography, since it's her second album.

SA allegations section

This section is far too biased, its only a quote but including a quote claiming they are proven false despite the so called "evidence" of it being a lie being extremely flimsy is in my opinion not a good look for a site like wikipedia. the rest of the paragraph is also basically just there to try and paint melanie as the victim and downplay the actual victims. There is currently no evidence that the allegations are false unless wikipedia now accepts nonsense twitter threads from melanie martinez fans as sources. 77.98.45.106 (talk) 17:52, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

I've looked at it searching for what you are saying and can't seem to find it. The article is citing a "The Line of Best Fit article" where the writer claims they are false. This is properly cited and sourced in Wikipedia even if the article it references doesn't have any sources. The most appropiate action should probably be adding a small edit clarifying that this is merely a claim and nothing has been proven or disproven yet. Santimonre (talk) 20:41, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

But why even reference that article in the first place? What value does it add over any other source that claims the allegations are true or false? Either this quote should be taken out as it's meaningless alone, or there should be multiple examples of which writers/articles claim the allegations are proven or disproven.

Cleaning talk page

Hey, just here to say this talk page is being subject to some mild vandalism (weird users that seem to think this is a way to contact the artist mostly). I've fixed it but more are to come probably. I would also like to remind people that are new to editing in wikipedia that sharing personal opinions or claiming allegations as fact are not things you should do. Please, if you are to argue about th SA allegations section find proper proof and share it. Santimonre (talk) 20:49, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
