Talk:Mica Levi

The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more non-binary people. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Many, but not all, non-binary people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.

If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

Awards[edit]

According to imdb.com she has won at least 14 awards for Under The Skin and was nominated for 10 more. I think the wiki does not represent the achievement. Although I cannot judge how valuable those awards are. Maybe the article should appreciate 'multiple' awards and mention the most important?

Lilponcho (talk) 12:49, 26 January 2016 (UTC) I've added hyperlinks and noted that she was nominated for multiple awards-those already mentioned are the most significant. Lilponcho (talk) 12:49, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pikachu?[edit]

Is Micachu linked with the electric mouse Pokémon Pikachu? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.193.203 (talk) 20:51, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Link Mixtape[edit]

The link for the "Kwesachu Mixtape" links to the article itself again... Should be fixed.

Pronouns[edit]

This article uses they/their but I have never heard of her referred to by these pronouns and all articles I see online use she/her. I can see this change to the page has been made recently as well. Are there any references online for her/their pronoun use? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.68.183.4 (talk) 06:10, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The official Spotify page indeed uses “they”:

Mica Levi aka Micachu is a musician and composer living in South East London who uses programming software, written notation and improvisation to produce their music. They are currently a member of the groups CURL, Good Sad Happy Bad (formerly known as Micachu & The Shapes) and Tirzah.

There is still the question whether this is acceptable language in an encyclopedia.

Title of page[edit]

Levi themself does not appear to use the "Micachu" name much anymore - any chance we could change the title of this page? Their film scores, solo albums, and credits on albums by others are all credited to Mica Levi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjdennis29 (talk • contribs) 21:06, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cjdennis29: I suggest you initiate a requested move process then (see WP:RSPM). (I only know of them from the film scores, so I don't think I have a good grasp of what the WP:COMMONAME is.) Nardog (talk) 22:11, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Micachu → Mica Levi – Micachu is only one moniker of artist Mica Levi who has released music under multiple names such as Micachu, in the group Micachu & the Shapes, and Good Sad Happy Bad, but it would be more accurate for this page to be titled 'Mica Levi' the artist's name as this covers all of the work outlined in the wikipedia article, a good breakdown of the artist's work under various names can be found here: https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/periods-genres/film-tv/mica-levi-music-composer-monos/ Albert warp (talk) 12:10, 5 November 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. VR _talk 13:51, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose but would not object to relisting. The question as I understand it should be, what is their common name in reliable secondary sources? (But note that the need for them to be secondary has recently been queried, see Wikipedia talk:Article titles#Use of primary sources to justify a name change.) Andrewa (talk) 12:44, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support As a composer they have always been credited and referred to as Mica Levi, and the 2020 rename of the band and the fact they have released albums (and been referred to in secondary sources) as Mica Levi since then suggest WP:NAMECHANGES applies. Nardog (talk) 02:59, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support: although Levi used the name Micachu on his own early albums, his greatest notability is in winning a BAFTA Award and receiving an Oscar nomination, both of which were under his real name. In addition, it appear that he has retired the name Micachu and the Shapes and the band is now known as Good Sad Happy Bad, and he is credited as Mica Levi on their records, as well as on his solo releases. So it makes no sense to keep using Micachu as the name of the article when the artist no longer releases any music under that name. And it's standard practice on Wikipedia to rename an article when the artist renames themselves and no longer use their old name – even though Lady A had the majority of their success under the name Lady Antebellum, the article uses their new name, for example.
