Renaming/Moving page to Snail Mail (musician)[edit]

After some research I'm pretty sure this page should be renamed and rewritten. Here are my arguments:

Lindsey wrote on Twitter in Sept. 2017:
weekly reminder that snail mail is my solo project not a band thank u 4 listening goodnight
— https://twitter.com/Snailmailband/status/910941674427252737
There is a text included on multiple concert info websites, which is most likely provided by Lindsey:
Snail Mail is the Baltimore based indie rock solo project of 17 year old, Lindsey Jordan. She released a six song EP titled, “Habit,” on DC punks Priests’ Sister Polygon Records in July of 2016. The record features a full band with Shawn Durham on drums and Ryan Vieira on bass. [...]
She writes all the songs (in this article they specifically mentioned her new album http://www.thefader.com/2017/06/28/snail-mail-lindsey-jordan-interview-thinning-habit).
There is only her photo on the bandcamp page (https://snailmailbaltimore.bandcamp.com).
She had a solo concert in London in January 2018.
In 2017 she played a Snail Mail concert with two other musicians (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z05-7c1f6k).
The misconception of a band is created because Snail Mail normally is not a person's name, which leads to the thinking that it's a band.

Conclusion:

Snail Mail is Lindsey Jordan
Snail Mail band is Lindsey + band
Snail Mail (band) should be Snail Mail (musician) and the band can be part of that page

Requested move 20 February 2018[edit]

Snail Mail (band) → Snail Mail (musician) – Snail Mail is the name of a music project by Lindsey Jordan and not a band as stated by herself (for more reasons see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Snail_Mail_(band) ) Indorange (talk) 19:00, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). –Ammarpad (talk) 19:33, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moved as requested. Dekimasuよ! 19:03, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life/Gay Identity[edit]

Lindsey is openly gay, but says she doesn't want to capitalize on her identity. Should a section about her personal life (including being gay) be included in a personal life section? A good resource might be the NYLON interview she did in 2018. YellowBlack (talk) 22:18, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
