Hey User:Onel5969. This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement. It is, in truth, a direct copy of the lyrics.com entry -- because whomever created the bio on lyrics.com copied this article word-for-word! --RexSueciae (talk) 01:59, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- RexSueciae, If that's correct, then you're right, it shouldn't be deleted. How did you discern that? I couldn't tell it was a mirror. Onel5969 TT me 02:05, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Onel5969 I can tell because this wiki article, which I created on April 4th of this year, has all of its facts properly referenced, while the lyrics.com bio is nothing but the text. The second, in all likelihood, postdates the first. It would be strange if I, in the quest to violate international copyright law, would be so bold as to simply lift the words from a random webpage and then meticulously cite every fact contained therein. Lyrics.com does not appear to timestamp the (user-submitted?) content that it hosts, and the Kim Dracula bio has not been saved on the Wayback Machine, so I can't tell you *when* exactly that lyrics.com bio first orginated -- however, if you look at (for example) the wiki article for Cardi B and the lyrics.com bio for Cardi B, you can see that lyrics.com appears to copy wiki articles of other music artists as well.

- RexSueciae, I understand your reasoning. One of the wizards of copyvio will take a look, and if they agree with you, the tag will be removed. Onel5969 TT me 02:18, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Onel5969 there's a few more things I feel I should note.
- The link in the template occasionally fails to connect for me -- I suggest using https://www.lyrics.com/artist/Kim-Dracula/2137854030 as a more stable link, since that is the location of the lyrics.com bio for Kim Dracula (and not merely that of his most popular song).
- I'd suggest using Template:Backwards copy but there's no point since you'd have to use it for literally every wiki article on a modern singer-songwriter, as we've already established by now that lyrics.com is a partial wiki mirror.
- Upon review, I think it is actually possible to pinpoint the time period in which the lyrics.com bio was copied over. Several dates in that bio are rendered Month Day, Year. This article renders those dates as Day Month Year. When I created this wiki article, I used Template:Use dmy dates but out of carelessness included some dates that did not match the format that I'd chosen. A helpful editor corrected this inconsistency on 23 April 2021. We can thus conclude that the lyrics.com bio was copied at some point before then.
- Someone appears to have added a cat emoji to the Kim Dracula lyrics.com bio within the last few minutes. Clearly, that site has no quality control or anti-plagiarism check.
- Is there a reason why you are reluctant to remove the Speedy Deletion tag yourself?
Cheers. RexSueciae (talk) 02:52, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- RexSueciae, again, more good points, but in response to your last bullet point, yes, there is. While you make very good points, none are conclusive. So I'd rather ere in caution, and let others with more expertise make the call. Onel5969 TT me 02:54, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please add his height to info and picture
His height is 6'5 feet.
Thanks 80.220.76.87 (talk) 23:48, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi there, dear IP editor. Height isn't usually included in wiki biographies (although I suppose there might be occasional examples). As for a picture, if there's a picture that's available under an appropriate Creative Commons license, please let me know and I'll see what I can do!

The referenced used directly after the first pronoun 'he' states their pronouns are they/them. 2001:1C01:3FC0:400:38D5:1DF3:AEFD:6E3B (talk) 20:42, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He's never stated his pronouns as they\them. At the concerts he referred to himself as he 2600:1006:B006:CDCA:8010:D0E2:EE55:ADAB (talk) 22:30, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fix the pronouns. Samuel Wellings has never publicly stated that he goes by They/Them pronouns. 72.187.129.136 (talk) 17:00, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
