[edit] Notability

Regarding the deletion proposal, I disagree that she's not notable. She appeared on Later with Jools Holland in June earlier this year (http://www.bbc.co.uk/later/show/) and one of her records (Hometown Glory) was played on 3rd September 2007 on Zane Lowes's Radio 1 music show as his "Hottest Record In The World". There's also an article on The Observer's website about her and Kate Nash (http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/story/0,,1992210,00.html) and her MySpace page comes up as the first result in a Google search on "Adele". So I'd say in terms of notability she's certainly on the radar. --82.68.44.150 19:29, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

This article should be deleted?? I don't think so. She is - if not now, although rapidly becoming - very notable. Tune in, and watch... :) --andreasegde (talk) 20:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

from Tottenham, South London. It's in North London 78.86.13.170 (talk) 20:00, 16 December 2007 (UTC)Elise

[edit] Label

I'm confused - the label info in the article doesn't gel with that in the infobox. Wwwhatsup (talk) 22:14, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Small Britain gigs"

Has Adele played "small Britain gigs", or small UK gigs? The Baroness of Morden (talk) 22:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC) Okay, I see it has been amended. The Baroness of Morden (talk) 22:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chasing Pavements

Does anybody know what the hell this means?... I chased a pavement once. I caught up with it immediately. 217.154.153.2 (talk) 11:32, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I can't reply to that because this ain't a forum. Just listen to the chorus. Starczamora (talk) 13:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

First of all you can reply to it, get a grip of yourself and secondly Im sure even a pavement could outrun her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.207.65 (talk) 23:43, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I think it's a fair question, and an interpretation of the meaning of the song, particularly if it can be referenced, would not be amiss in the article. Wwwhatsup (talk) 04:23, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I read in a newspaper interview (although I forget which one, which is useless) that it was about her having an argument with her boyfriend and chasing pavements means to 'run away' in this context —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.72.24 (talk) 19:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bisexual boyfriend?

The Daily Star is used as a source, and tabloids are not particularly desirable sources in BLPs. Thoughts?--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 18:51, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I am not really keen on the accuracy of articles on the British press, but it seems like there is a need for further references on that one. Starczamora (talk) 13:38, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discography

Is there a reason why the whole singles chart was removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jammy2 (talk • contribs) 23:09, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
