"Buena will be performing at V Festival on August 18 and 19 at Hylands Park, Chelmsford and Western Park, Staffordshire. She has also been added to the line-up for T4 On The Beach 2007 on Sunday July 22." - Hahahahaha, you're not gonna get bottled much.


This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Mutya Buena article.

[edit] Explanation

Who is this? Ive never heard of her, and this page doesnt even begin to tell me about the person in question, what they did to grant wikification, and no pagelinks or offsite information makes it even more difficult to work out whats going on. - After a bit of research -Trjn 12:44, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Just did a short google, appears she was a member of the 'Sugarbabes', even so, this page should be cleaned up, ill make a short stab at it with what ive gained from around the web, but believe me, im no expert on her-Trjn 13:00, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
Hey Dude Dont YOU Know POP??????? You must be from out of space not to know her???
Yeah this person is perfectly notable as a previous member and now a solo artist- she's just released her debut solo single "Real Girl". Im going to remove the notability tag. Leemorrison 18:58, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
If you remove the notability tag, please assert her notability with third-party reliable sources. Otherwise I shall consider AfD, as per above comments. Thank you. Rjgodoy 19:16, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh, please. (Sorry, I didn't realise this discussion was at the top whenI added the previous comment) This edit, three whole days before you added the tag, added her chart position at No 11 for "Real Girl". This fulfils the second of the relevant notability criteria. (Yes, it's not sourced, but nor are any other chart positions that I've seen on any other music articles -- if it makes you happy here's the Radio 1 chart page.) The fact that that notability tag has been there for two days just makes Wikipedia look petty and stupid. And I don't even particularly care, I only came here 'cos it was bugging me what the sample was. --86.128.139.22 14:35, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Partner's name

Anyone know the surname of her partner Jay? It'd be better to include it. Jess Cully 17:59, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tidy this up!

The last time I made a slight modification to this page, it was short but nevertheless reasonably consistent. Now it reads as if a lot of information has been taken verbatim out of a magazine! I assume whoever it was who added the extra info is a fan, possibly from the Phillipines, so the fact that the information is out of date (at least a year old, from before Mutya left the Sugababes) seems rather irritating. I've reverted the article back to the version saved by me on the 18th of August. Please copy edit the additional text if you want it put back in, please. Tozznok 23:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fix It Up

This page is in poor shape, please upload a newer photo of Mutya and re-edit the page to make it look professional, it looks really bad.

Yeah, you can hardly see her face in that photo! CC 91 17:15, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Munter?

Is this really a relevant or fair comment for an encyclopedia entry?

Errr... what are you talking about? Also, please sign your commentshippi ippi++++ 11:10, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I've added both the cleanup and expand tags to the article. The pre-solo section of the article is well written but the solo section is a mess and is full of statements that need credible citations. Jamie 15:45, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability tag removed

This article was tagged as failing to assert notability on the 23rd. I have removed this tag because as far as I can see, criterion 6 on Wikipedia:Notability (music) means that notability is inherited for musicians:

Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable

Mutya contains at least one member of the very notable Sugababes (viz. herself), and this is stated in the article's very first sentence (the Sugababes' obvious notability is established in the first section where their multi-platinum-ness is stated). There is no notability issue here. (She also satisfies criterion 11 now that Real Girl is getting airtime.) --86.128.139.22 14:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

  • I understand that {{notability}} tag does not qualifies for this article. Lack of third-party sources seems more correct. Currently the only third-party reference is http://www.popjustice.com/, but since she is notable there should be another one. Rjgodoy 21:21, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
