Born
What city was she born in? The Listed 'Orange County', is beyond vague and needs to be updated College Watch (talk) 08:16, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Nevermind, I just located it on the web and will reference it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by College Watch (talk • contribs) 08:17, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
HS
Anyone know what high school Lindsey attended? —Eustress talk 03:33, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think there was a video posted on a Mormon youtube channel recently where she may have talked about her life in High School, but I'm very unsure if she ever mentioned the name of it. ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 05:24, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
From her face book page:https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/59239_560447463987445_1092491844_n.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.73.141 (talk) 12:16, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, so perhaps Mesquite High School (Gilbert, Arizona)... but any reliable sources that can confirm? Wearing a school shirt is not definitive... could have been a sibling's shirt. —Eustress talk 21:59, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Faith?
Lindsey was recently featured in an interview on Mormon.org and in her own "... and I'm a Mormon" clip. As of this writing it's actually on the main landing page of Mormon.org. It's not exactly clear how much of this is Lindsey's original content (or if it was extensively edited by the LDS church) but it deserves a mention on this page. The page would really be enhanced by some facts on her Mormon faith. Just noticed her missionary work is mentioned. Not sure if there's anything new here, but check it out. http://mormon.org/lindsey — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:EA00:104:2C00:1BF:19A:9BB2:DDA6 (talk • contribs) 18:58, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- Done, thanks —Eustress talk 19:07, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Other songs
If somebody would please add her renditions of "The Phantom Of The Opera" and the theme from The Lord of the Rings" movies (both released in 2012), that would be great since the beta article editor isn't working right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jschoenborn (talk • contribs) 22:10, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- These songs are not notable as they are not official singles. This should not be a collection of all works by Lindsey Stirling, but only list officially released singles and albums. If we include every video Lindsey Stirling has created or contributed to, the list would be a mile long, so there must be a line to draw, and notability is that line. :) ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 23:16, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- Scott, If you are worried about long listings, it is probably time to create a Discography and perhaps a Filmography article (or section for Filmography within the Discography). Stirling's music video, "Phantom of the Opera" is a well done piece of performing art with 9.5 million views in eleven months and "Lord of the Rings Medley" has over 13 million views.
- Until someone has time to create the Discography article, I'm opposed to any effort to limit the number, or type, of the artist's published works documented here because the edits will be useful when moving the entries to the Discography. 009o9 (talk) 22:10, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- Youtube has always been an issue on Wikipedia. The issue is that it's social media. And while extremely popular, individual videos/channels hold zero notability on their own, regardless of popularity. "Notability isn't determined by something's quantity of members, but rather by the quality of the subject's verifiable, reliable sources." (from WP:BIGNUMBER). The fact that the videos have received millions of views each is not a reflection on the videos' notability for Wikipedia inclusion. The songs have never been released as a single or on an album; which, I might add, is grounds for inclusion to a discography. If a separate list is going to be made of all the works created by Lindsey Stirling, it should not be a Discography, as that list will be about the same size as what's included here in this article. Instead a "List of recorded words by Lindsey Stirling" would be more appropriate, but also risks deletion due to lack of notability.
- Anyway, as I ramble (I tend to do that), the point I'm trying to make is that millions of views do not make these officially released singles by the artist, nor does that make them notable. And that is why I have removed them from the list of sourced singles directly from the independent label's official website. If the videos are that popular, there should be news articles about them, or other third party sources which would only then give them notability enough to satisfy Wikipedia's requirements for inclusion. ~ [ Scott M.
