[edit] Her Career

According to the Beef II DVD, when interviewed about the UTFO battle, it never involved the actual group. According to her and Marly Marl, it was entirely their idea. In other words, I don't think UTFO had any idea, or were involved, in her career. Richard Corey 16:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Real Roxanne

The Real Roxanne is a different artist than Dr. Shanté. Peace. (MuzikJunky 22:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC))

Apparently Shante has a myspace page Ishmael Rufus 20:20, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I really doubt Roxanne's myspace page is actually *her* myspace page. I think it exists to provide a place to stuff spam messages; just look at the comments. Not an actively-maintained site, not a Doctor's site. 207.81.99.59 —Preceding comment was added at 04:03, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Doctor?

what is up with that? even if she is a doctor, it has no reason to be in the article title. Es-won 15:27, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

• Anyways, I changed it, and cleaned up and added to the article. Much better. Shante you rule. Es-won 17:58, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Someone moved the article back to "Dr. ...", but I've changed it again. There are Wikipedia standards about article naming, and the relevant one here is WP:NAMEPEOPLE. There's simply no good reason to make an exception here. We don't name articles about presidents, kings, or most clergy with their titles, with a very few exceptions. Almost all doctors, such as Michael E. DeBakey are listed under their name only, without honorific; really famous physicians also have a redirect (Dr. Michael E. DeBakey is a redirect to the main article), but famous PhDs do not (Albert Einstein but no Dr. Albert Einstein). Studerby 21:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
