• Delete. Ambi 08:12, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Delete until notable - Tεxτurε 19:06, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. No reason to delete, unless such articles as Tego Calderón and Control Machete are also deleted. --Fibonacci 03:48, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Never heard of him, but I'm not Spanish and can't speak Spanish. It's information, and it's verifiable. This page claims he got seven Latin Grammy nominations for his first solo album. - MattTM 07:22, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. I agree with MattTM. In my case I've heard of him, but I've never heard his songs. Pablo.cl 19:43, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable enough - seven Latin Grammy nominations.. Nadavspi 20:36, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion

As far as I can tell, the only thing the last two edits have done were to delete most of the article and then bring it back de-wikified. Reverting to Luigi-ish's previous edit. Hwonder 16:33, 1 May 2006 (UTC) juanes is the most important latin singer nowadays. He has won 12 latin grammys with only 3 albums and he fights for social causes too. Paul McCarthey honored him for his fight against landmines in colombia and time magazine named him one of the most influential person in 2005. All his singles from his new album reached #1 in US latin charts and latin america and la camisa negra was #1 in seven european countries. Juanes has been the first singer to sing in the european parlament too. Juanes is a tremendous singer.

[edit] Reason to make apart discography page

What I've added to the discography page is just a beginning. I'm still planning to expand it. The reason why I think it deserves an apart discography page is that he's already released three albums and more than 10 singles. Not everybody is interested in all that chart information so i figured why not make an apart discography page where we can put all info about the singles. Just like on the Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson article; just showing the release date and the title. If people want to know about the chart positions, they just check the discography page. So no, I don't agree with merging it to Juanes -- Luigi-ish 20:27, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Politically Minded?

I am familiar with his music since he is so extremely well known and popular (not sure where those people who wanted to delete the article are living...?), but I don't know much about his political philosophy. The article says he is politically-minded and that it influcences his music, can anyone elaborate on that at all?24.196.83.29 15:26, 22 October 2006 (UTC)rglong

Cacique49 23:15, 13 December 2006 (UTC) Most of his songs, especially those in Mi Sangre talk about the blood shed and wars going on in Columbia. He's very passionate about his homeland -Cacique

[edit] Before solo

The article is missing his early life and his time with Ekhymosis. Anyone can get that information to improve this article?--((F3rn4nd0 ))^{(BLA BLA BLA)} 22:23, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

What a coincidence. I just started on creating the section before seeing your comment here. ShadowHalo 19:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] bio

Where does he live these days? Whom is he married to? Whoistheroach 03:15, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Medellin, Colombia and Karen Martinez. My apologies, I left out the actual word "wife", but the first part is in the article. ShadowHalo 03:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA

Very good article, well written, referenced, laid out etc etc One of the better GA's. Only minor issues

• At the 2005 Latin Grammy Awards, Juanes won three additional awards to his nine previous Grammy awards. This paragraph needs a citation or two
• Please add WP:PDATA

Goodwork. M3tal H3ad 08:44, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing the article. I could have sworn I'd added in the reference for the 2005 Latin Grammys, but oh well. It's there now, and I've added the persondata. ShadowHalo 01:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
