Listing all singles/guest appearances

Is it really called for to try to list all of his singles and guest appearances? It's already extremely incomplete, and given that he generally releases or is featured on new songs multiple times monthly it seems like this would quickly get out of hand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Puzzlemap (talk • contribs) 03:27, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Agreed, it's similar to how Gucci Mane has an entire separate article for his full discography (see Gucci Mane discography), but bladee isn't notable enough to warrant a full second article like that. I believe we should limit it to major singles leading up to an album release, and features on main Yung Lean projects, i.e. Decay/Who Goes There/Hennessy & Sailor Moon.

why would we limit it to yung lean's projects The579 (talk) 17:36, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

i think we should just delete the whole parts The579 (talk) 17:36, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Alternate pronunciation

According to an interview with Nardwuar, Bladee also notes that an alternative pronunciation is "blade-e", or "bleɪd i". This has already been included into the article yet somewhat poorly. Wondering if anyone wants to make this change properly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.14.106.151 (talk) 21:13, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

There is enough sourced material that states "blade" is the official pronunciation, a vague remark in a interview isn't enough. Second Skin (talk) 21:25, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Bladee isn't hyperpop.

Hyperpop is a vague genre that is way too niche to consider Bladee a hyperpop artist. The same source that refers to Bladee being hyperpop also lists Rico Nasty as hyperpop. Her article/page does not have any mention of hyperpop. The Hyperpop wikipedia article makes no mention of Bladee. Bladee likes to experiment, he doesn't constrict himself to a specific genre. Experimental pop would be a good genre to put Bladee under. On SoundCloud he never lists his music as Hyperpop, he lists it as alternative. To consider Bladee confined to a genre or consider himself to apply himself to a genre is a very surface level observation. If you were to listen to all his albums at the time of his releases, you'd realize he experiments with each album. To say he made a hyperpop is quite an insult to his musical genius and bravery of stepping out of boundaries with each album. Maybe some of his songs could be compared to Hyperpop, but it doesn't mean he's a hyperpop artist. He is experimental. --Drogge (talk) 19:07, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Why does the second paragraph exist?

The parts talking about his albums are already there under the 2.1 section "music". Also, the information isn't correct, Gluee was Bladee's debut album (if we ignore Rainworld). — Preceding unsigned comment added by I2qd (talk • contribs) 15:36, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

I revoke my statement - Gluee is a mixtape [1]. Still seems unproductive to note "Reichwald released his debut album Eversince in 2016, and his second album Red Light in 2018—both through Stockholm record label YEAR0001." When we have multiple sections for his music. I2qd (talk) 15:48, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

The lead is meant to summarize information from the main body of the article, so including that information in the lead (given that it is in the main body of the article) seems to make sense. TylerBurden (talk) 16:25, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Questionable why it mentions those two albums then? Surely Crest would be more important or relevant. I2qd (talk) 19:34, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Feel free to be WP:BOLD and edit the article. TylerBurden (talk) 19:52, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm still new here so thank you for guiding me. I2qd (talk) 08:56, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

why are 2 random singles listed in the discography

not even extremely notable singles, amygdala was a well received single but not notable in the context of how the discography is written since it is 1/2 singles. i am not sure why real springs is even mentioned at all because he is just featured in it and not even his first feature on a skrillex song (summertime blood i believe was his first). if singles are being listed it should be notable ones i think because listing just 1 or 2 seems like they are very important BabeXbox (talk) 17:57, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Contentious edit discussion: Signature and caption

Hello everyone. Recently I have made some edits to the article that have been proved contentious. I'd like to discuss them here in order to come to a consensus. When I edited this article I did so in good faith, but it seems that some do not agree with my view.

User:TylerBurden has reverted the edits I have made, specifically the inclusion of a signature[2] and as well as the inclusion of the word "performing" in the photo caption. Both of these edits are commonplace amongst musical artists, and I see no contention in their inclusion in this article. If anyone would like to offer their view to this I would be happy to come to a consensus. 333fortheain (talk) 19:54, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

So according to your standards, I can take a blurry photo and claim it is a WP:NOTABLE person and their signature? Surely you can see the issue with that? Per WP:BLP, Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikipedia page, including but not limited to articles, talk pages, project pages, and drafts. Such material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to all applicable laws in the United States, to this policy, and to Wikipedia's three core content policies.

How is that a quality source and how is the image caption addition not redundant given that the image clearly shows him performing? TylerBurden (talk) 00:58, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, the reason these edits were made were to stay stylistically consistent with other similar articles. From my perspective, they are both constructive and the supposed issue regarding the signature's source seems impractical; it is verifiable and should have a place in the article.

I don't mind the omission of the word "performing", but the signature seems like a bigger issue than just this article. I'm interested in making a WP:RfC regarding signatures sourced from social media to come to a consensus, since it concerns many articles. Let me know if you have any other ideas before opening one. 333fortheain (talk) 20:17, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Reverted edit

Hello, @TylerBurden recently reverted my edit due to it not adhering to WP:BLP. I assume this may have been because of the YouTube source I added? This, however, is an official upload on one of Bladee's official channels, which states 2012 in the description being for when the song was made. Am I missing something? Orchidcnr (talk) 06:01, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

It's less about the fact of the matter, and more about if the most reliable source covering this information is his own YouTube video, it may not belong on a Wikipedia article. See WP:BLPSOURCE. TylerBurden (talk) 20:29, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Okay, fair enough. Is that the only issue? Because you reverted all of my edits, not just that one Orchidcnr (talk) 22:55, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

It looks like you did some minor copy editing which I wouldn't mind if you restore, other sources that you used like Instagram have the same issue as the YouTube one. TylerBurden (talk) 17:52, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

That source was already used on the page for Crest (album). Should it be removed there too? Orchidcnr (talk) 05:39, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm not really sure what you're referring to, the sourcing on that article looks ok, I at least can't see any social media. TylerBurden (talk) 19:29, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I got mixed up. I was thinking of an Instagram source on Exeter (album). I actually replaced it with a proper source in this article, so I'll do it there too. Orchidcnr (talk) 07:15, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Cold Visions: Mixtape or Album

I noticed that under the Discography section, Bladee's album Cold Visions is categorized as a "Studio Album," but in the Bladee NavBox, Cold Visions is sorted under "Mixtapes." The page for Cold Visions also describes it as a Studio Album.

Should Cold Visions be placed with the rest of the Studio Albums within the NavBox? Hardhat777 (talk) 01:20, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

I believe so, even the year0001 label refers to it as a studio album as seen here. TylerBurden (talk) 19:46, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
