Intro needs editing

The part of the intro that says "One of the most popular and highest-paid contemporary recording artists, Malik is the recipient of several accolades, including an American Music Award and two Teen Choice Awards" needs to be removed from the article. Articles are suppose to be neutral, and this is very clearly not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.68.55 (talk) 07:30, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Infobox question

Why is the main infobox for the article Infobox person, with Infobox musical artist embedded in it? He is a musical artist, that's what he is known for. All the other One Direction members only have the musical artist infobox in their articles. Wanted to put this out there instead of just changing it. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Attract and Repel ‖ 05:01, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

British/English

Hi @BT Curry:, in this case only her mother is English, but he was born and raised in England. Which one is correct? - Any other opinion is welcome. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 18:30, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

InfoBox Updates

Hello - Looking to add ZAYN's current relationship to the infobox. ZAYN and Gigi Hadid have been dating for over a year and began dating in November of 2015. Below are article references to take into account.

Cynthia.parkhurst (talk) 20:28, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Not done That parameter is for long-term life partners, like Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. Please see the documentation for Template:Infobox person for further information. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Opposites Attract ‖ 23:33, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

That page also says that the partner counts if they are notable --> If particularly relevant, or if the partner is notable. Gigi Hadid is notable in her own right and therefore should be included since the relationship is over 1 year old. ZAYN MALIK is also noted in her infobox on her page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigi_Hadid — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cynthia.parkhurst (talk • contribs) 21:20, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Actually, Malik was removed from the Hadid infobox. If they get engaged, then maybe they could be added. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 06:44, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Zayn Malik → Zayn (singer) – Same reason why Sia Furler was moved to Sia (musician).74.105.204.67 (talk) 13:43, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Oppose move, per rationale put out in the last RM. Using his full name avoids parenthetical disambiguation.  ONR  (talk)  17:14, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose. Although I supported the Sia move, I think the circumstances are a bit different here. "Zayn Malik" is much more identifiable than "Sia Furler", notably because he recorded under that name for years when he was in One Direction. And it appears his twitter and instagram accounts still use "Zayn Malik" or "@zaynmalik" or what have you. Although I could see myself potentially supporting this movie in the future, I think WP:NATURAL makes sense here. Nohomersryan (talk) 18:29, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose—sorry. Still not predominant enough to warrant move. —A L T E R C A R I  ✍ 10:29, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose - the mononym is a recent development. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Health and Welfare ‖ 18:07, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose Little has changed since the last RM.LM2000 (talk) 04:52, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose Same as the arguments above. Raritydash (talk) 06:13, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose. Unlike Sia, he is still commonly known as Zayn Malik. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:57, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
• Support. Those saying he is better known by his full name didn't explain and prove how. For the sake of being 'up-to-date', the title should be changed to "Zayn" as he is also known by this name, and also solo artists should have their stage name as the title. - TheMagnificentist 17:20, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Zayn Malik Information Box- Potential Edit

As the singer's previous relationship ended a few years ago, it may be appropriate to remove this information from the infobox. While the relationship certainly merits mention during the "Personal Life" portion of the article, it doesn't seem to follow the precedent set by the articles of his peers. For reference, the longterm relationships of same-age peers (e.g. Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez) or the failed engagements of other public artists like (e.g. the engagement of Big Sean and Naya Rivera or Rashida Jones and Mark Ronson) are not mentioned in the infobox of the artists. Also there seems to be disagreement about the actual dates of the relationship as listed in the infobox (2011-2015) and in the personal life section (2012-2015). Similarly, (in my home country) a Google search shows Jelena Noura "Gigi" Hadid as the current partner in the Google infobox, but a click on the Wikipedia link provided shows the previous relationship. The best practice seems to be to remove this information from the infobox to streamline the information on the page and instead, place the information in the Personal Life section of the article.

Semi-protected edit request on 10 November 2017

Please change the "Partner" section of the infobox as this section seems to need updating. As the singer's previous relationship ended a 2 years ago, it may be appropriate to remove this information from the infobox. While the relationship certainly merits mention during the "Personal Life" portion of the article, it doesn't seem to follow the precedent set by the articles of his peers. For reference, the longterm relationships and unsuccessful engagements of same-age peers (e.g. Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs or Big Sean and Naya Rivera) are not mentioned in the infobox of the artists. Similarly, (in my home country) a Google search shows Jelena Noura "Gigi" Hadid as the current partner in the Google infobox, but a click on the Wikipedia link provided shows the previous relationship. The current relationship has a duration of 2 years. The best practice seems to be to remove the previous relationship information from the infobox to streamline the information on the page and instead, place the information in the Personal Life section of the article.

Zayn Malik's net worth is 58 million pounds now. Please update it. Amanchhaudhary (talk) 12:01, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

@Amanchhaudhary: According to https://www.instyle.com/news/gigi-hadid-and-zayn-maliks-net-worth, "though the exact number [of Zayn Malik's net worth] is not known.", and it seems to be true. I did a simple google search to see if your statement is correct, and it seems that several, different numbers are popping about, such as "around 50 million (euros)" (https://www.capitalfm.com/artists/one-direction/zayn-malik/what-is-net-worth/), "20 million (dollars)" (https://www.instyle.com/news/gigi-hadid-and-zayn-maliks-net-worth), and even "65 million (dollars)" (https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/singers/zayn-malik-net-worth/). With the notion that you actually mean "58 million pounds" and not "58 pounds", where is the evidence to your claim? --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 15:25, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

@Atcovi https://www.thewealthrecord.com/celebs-bio-wiki-salary-earnings-2019-2020-2021-2022-2023-2024-2025/musician/zayn-malik-net-worth/ here is the evidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amanchhaudhary (talk • contribs) 17:46, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

I've looked through WP:Sources and I couldn't find anything that would go against the source you've put here (I'll admit, I am new to Wikipedia/just got back to editing Wikipedia, so I'd like for someone to double check, if that wouldn't be much of a burden for whoever wants to do that), so I've updated it to 58 million pounds with your link as the reference. Thanks. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 18:24, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

I highly doubt that the source, being run out of a TV repair shop in Jaipur, is reliable for the purposes of determining the singer's net worth. I'm also not sure that the net worth infobox parameter is particularly relevant to the topic of this article. For the time being, given the range of numbers in sources and their apparent lack of consistency, I think it is best to remove the parameter outright. Dekimasuよ! 19:33, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Interesting way of settling this. Personally, I've never seen that removing a subject of dispute entirely was the correct way to go... but obviously, as being new, I'm satisfied. Anyways, where did you find out that the source listed was operated from a TV repair shop in India? I'm curious to know so that I can improve on my ways of examining whether a source is reliable or not. Cheers. Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:54, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

The site's "about" section connects to official social media accounts that make the connection clear. As for the removal, some relevant ideas might be found at WP:CANTFIX and WP:VNOTSUFF. Dekimasuよ! 23:31, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Ah ok. I didn't come across the social media accounts (will look into that when I'm assessing sources next time). Thank you for the WP links too, and I also advise Amanchhaudhary to take heed of the comments above. Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 23:56, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

I think to prevent chaos, until we get the exact number of his net worth, it is better to remove the section. Thanks @Atcovi Amanchhaudhary (talk) 04:04, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

That would probably affect Zayn (singer) too. --Ebyabe (talk) 04:17, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Hey, why Zayn's name is written in urdu. I mean he is only of Pakistani decent, his father is a British Pakistani but he is completely a British. Riz Ahmed is also a singer and actor of Pakistani decent and his name is written only in English on Wikipedia. So I request you to please remove Zayn's urdu name. Amanchhaudhary (talk) 06:07, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Just for the record, this exact post was also placed on my talk page and on Bistymings' talk page. Here is my response:

...that is a good question and made me wonder. The article notes in Zayn's "Personal life" section that Zayn speaks Urdu, a tongue that is the official national language and lingua franca of Pakistan, and Zayn's father is British Pakistani. All that makes it likely that another editor added Zayn's name in the Nastaʿlīq script some time ago, and it appears to be an appropriate improvement. If I remove it, somebody would just revert the edit and add it back in. Thank you for coming to my talk page!

Please remove Partners field from profile [Partner(s): Perrie Edwards (2013–2015) Gigi Hadid (2015–2018)] since neither of the two partners listed (Perrie Edwards and Gigi Hadid) was a spouse or an otherwise common law partner and other profiles do not list non-spousal/common law partners. Thank you. Etasheta (talk) 03:02, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: The guidance at {{Infobox person}} for Partners says "If particularly relevant, or if the partner is notable; 'partner' here means unmarried life partners (of any gender or sexual preference)". Both appear to be notable, and both are well-sourced in the Personal Life section. I don't see a reason to remove them from the infobox.

Why does the info box refer to a “native name” and not an “Urdu name?” He was born in the U.K.; his “native” name is in Latin script. Please re-phrase it.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.202.64.99 (talk) 03:38, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Zayn Malik controversy

Zayn Malik has pleaded no contest to harassment charges after 'shoving Yolanda Hadid into a dresser' and calling her a 'f***ing Dutch sl*t'. Court documents reveal that Zayn was charged with four counts of harassment, that he pleaded no contest and that he must now complete 360 days probation in addition to completing an anger management class. On September 29, Yolanda went to Zayn and Gigi Hadid's property while Gigi was modeling in Paris. Zayn was there, though it's unclear if their daughter Khai was. The pair started arguing and Zayn 'grabbed Yolanda' and 'shoved' her into a dresser. He also verbally berated her, screaming: 'Stay away from [my] f*****g daughter and calling her a 'f*****g Dutch s**t'. He is said to have called Gigi in Paris and yelled down the phone to her: 'Strap on some f***ing balls and defend your partner against your f***ing mother in my house. A security guard was present for the exchange, according to the court documents, and Zayn screamed at him: 'Get the f*** out of my f***ing house copper. At another point he referred to fathering Khai with the 'f*****g sperm that came out of my f*****g c**k'. Danielwebster123 (talk) 18:41, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
