[edit] Comment

• I added evidence of notability as suggested by FisherQueen, and then removed the subst:prod template as indicated by the same template. This is actually my first edit, I hope I did everything right!  ;) --Outspan 21:05, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How about...

... adding a short paragraph [probably after Videos], which I don't know how do call, about her "ethnicity", the aspects that are "Pilipino" in her videos (like her accent) and her relation with it? Wouldn't know what to write though :) -- Outspan [talk · contribs] 23:20, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I think that's a great idea. The Asian Journal article goes into her family's history a bit, as well as into her experience as a Filipino-American; and the Sentinel talks about her reception from the Filipino-American community. But I wouldn't be sure what to call it, either. "Filipino heritage"? Ichormosquito 03:45, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

...Changing the repeated use of of "Gambito" to "Christine". A name instead of a label. -AChrispy (talk) 19:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bio/married

I heard that Christine is married -- and there's the wedding ring, but I've seen no details about this. She is a legit celebrity, so it seems that her marriage is newsworthy. However, I do not have these details -- I was hoping to read it here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.198.205.158 (talk) 03:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

A "celebrity" is not one who is known only in a particular web site. That word - 'celebrity' should be used cautiously rather than haphazzardly. Youtube does not make one a celebrity regardless of the number of subscribers. If you mention this woman to anybody who doesn't waste their time on any particular web site, they wouldn't have the slightest idea who you are referring to. There are thousands of "celebrities" on youtube...that word could be used should the mainstream in the real world choose to twist it's definition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.116.219.74 (talk) 04:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Verifiability over truth. If the news media calls her a celebrity, who are we to say otherwise? Ichormosquito 12:32, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

The mainstream media makes no mention of her. There are fringe papers in public directed at a small minority of people but to brand them "THE media" is a considerable stretch. I've also been mentioned more than once in the media for my contribution to my community but by and large the mainstream media including Fox News, CNN & CBS would have to introduce me and my background so the folks can understand what I'm about. Oprah Winfrey's, Paris Hilton's, Tom Cruise & company don't need an introduction - hence; they are indeed celebrities. I'd appreciate it if people here would stop using Wikipedia as some cheap publicity campaign to promote oneself. But I suppose I can create my own article here and claim to be a celebrity in my own right.

Sorry, whoever denies that Gambito is a celeb needs to get a clue. You don't have to be Oprah Winfrey or Tom Cruise to be a celebrity. Perhaps she's B-list or C-list but she's still a celebrity. (I am not connected to her in any way.) There is an entire demographic out there that is watching online video instead of more traditional media. I would wager that a good percentage of people aged 14 to 25 in the U.S. know who Happy Slip is. PS: And I hate to break it to you but lonelygirl15, Esmee Denters, Tay Zonday, etc., are all celebrities also. Just because Jay Leno or some cable news host needs to explain to Baby Boomers who somebody is doesn't mean that person is not a celebrity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.197.234.253 (talk) 05:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I love you. Will you marry me? Or at least get a Wikipedia user name? Ichormosquito 11:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

To the person stamping his feet insisting she's a celebrity; There's no such thing as A, B, C, D, E-lists...you either are or aren't. In regards to Lonelygirl115 and company, they are "news items" but there's a distinction here that you apparently are not getting. Nobody can blanket the internet with there name and billboard there name across town and be inducted in the "celebrity" club. My real estate agent is well known in Vancouver so does that make him a celebrity? If not, is it because he's not entertaining people? The grounds from you are arguing from is in the realm of splitting hairs and I believe I'll lose mine trying to argue with somebody as "slippery" as you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.116.219.74 (talk) 05:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move?

Can this be moved to HappySlip? No one really knows her real name (or cares) like Madonna, or Cher. Please! Calicore (talk) 18:58, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

^^^^ Her name is Christine Gambito. Few people care, you are correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.116.29.187 (talk) 04:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

It used to be at HappySlip but was moved as a result of its deletion discussion. ~Enviroboy^Talk_Contribs - 05:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Date of birth

What is her date of birth?--NAHID 09:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
