Talk:Alemayehu Eshete

Eshete's Birth Place

As far as I know, Alemayehu Eshete was born in Wollo, not in Jimma. His family moved to Addis when he was young and he grew up in Addis. Tumsaa (talk) 11:18, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Some sources contradicting Addis Ababa–Jimma such as Jimma in Music in Africa and Addis Ababa in The Guardian obituary. So I'm gonna remove Addis Ababa from the infobox until overwhelming reliable sources support one side. The Supermind (talk) 10:56, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

@The Supermind: I find the Guardian orbituary and New York Times more credible, both are considered reliable sources and have editorial oversight. I don't know about the website MusicinAfrica. Are there more (reliable) sources that say Jimma? I don't find this equally contradicting, so i reverted your removals. Dawit S Gondaria (talk) 11:22, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

@Dawit S Gondaria: Good job! But most article in Google such as Borkena says in Jimma. What do you think? The Supermind (talk) 13:42, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

@The Supermind: It's hard to discuss something without a link, can you provide the sources? One recent article from Borkena doesn't mention his birthplace. [1] My google results are showing the opposite, recent and reliable sources (NYT and Guardian) after his death say Addis Abeba including Ethiopian sites like [2], [3]. Other sites that say Jimma is on a blacklisted website peoplepill.com, so i have doubts about MusicinAfrica.net as well. Dawit S Gondaria (talk) 18:37, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
