Yolanda Saldivar

[edit]

In paragraph 4, it describes Yolanda as her friend and boutique manger (not the exact words but you get the point) however she was also the manager of Selena’s fan club at one point. DarthNerdy12 (talk) 23:36, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Selena's birthplace

[edit]

Many sources say that Selena was born in Lake Jackson. Yes, it was her hometown, but she couldn't be born there because the hospital she was born in was in Freeport, not Lake Jackson. Therefore, I don't think the article would consider Lake Jackson to be her birthplace. Chidie345 (talk) 01:32, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a place for original research. You must provide a reliable source that shows Selena was born in Freeport. Erick (talk) 13:59, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chidie345: The source you provided states that Selena was born in Freeport, not that the hospital where she was born happened to be in Freeport, as you implied. A higher-quality source or additional sources confirming that the hospital was in Freeport or naming the hospital would be better, otherwise, this single source does not satisfy this fringe theory. I won't undo your edit, I believe we can discuss it here and reach a consensus. Best – jona 16:46, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I will add the hospital that Selena was born in on her biography and murder pages. Chidie345 (talk) 22:49, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just now add the hospital name on both pages. Chidie345 (talk) 23:47, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for the delayed response. According to the first source from the Houston Chronicle, it states: including time in Lake Jackson, where Selena was born, it does specify that she was born at Freeport Community Hospital. However, it does not state that she was born in Freeport, Texas, but in Lake Jackson. There was a hospital, formerly known as Freeport Community Hospital, located in Lake Jackson, which might explain the confusion. In any case, two sources (which contradict each other since the second source states she was born in Freeport, Texas, while the first states she was born in Lake Jackson, Texas) are not sufficient to meet the guidelines against fringe theories.

@Chidie345: Hey it's been ten days, just following up for your response. Best – jona 11:58, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I didn't respond. I was on my phone and was on FANDOM creating pages on one of its Wikis. Anyways, I didn't know. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Chidie345 (talk) 21:54, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 8 November 2024

[edit]

Selena has sold over 90 million albums. This page is misinforming people by stating she only sold 18 million. Original Wikipedia said 60 million which was closer to the the actual number but some how it was update incorrectly. Plenty of of articles like this one, have stated she has sold over 90 million. https://mvsnoticias.com/entretenimiento/2023/4/16/selena-la-reina-del-tex-mex-estrella-latina-mas-importante-de-todos-los-tiempos-589578.html

Also, I would like to add that in 2024 President Biden awarded Selena the Medal of Arts of 2023. Making her the only deceased person to ever win that award.
