Please add Franzl Lang and his title, the "Yodel King" (or "Jodlerkönig" in German). The Wikipedia article about Franzl Lang already lists his title. I have also added two German news articles where "Jodlerkönig" is mentioned.

Nicki minaj
[edit]Nicki Minaj has been called the queen of Rap for over a decade so I absolutely think she should be added to the table 82.41.1.244 (talk) 18:48, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- She is already included as the Queen of Rap, alongside Elliott. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 19:11, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Aya Nakamura as "Reine de France" (Queen of France)
[edit]Please add Aya Nakamura in Individual titles section as Reine de France (Queen of France) Many Internet users (on "X", for example), newspapers (like Konbini) and her fanbase call Aya Nakamura "La Reine de France" (Queen of France). Sources

Edit request for w:Lady Gaga
[edit]Kindly add the sobriquet "Monster Monster" to w:Lady Gaga, I believe this title befits an honorific description as it is supported by following sources:
- "The Performance Identities of Lady Gaga: Critical Essays" by Richard J. Gray II discusses the origin of the title Mother Monster on page 125
- An article on Billboard calling her as such, citing her performance on the Opening Ceremony of 2024 Paris Olympics
- Her profile on Grammys website
... and numerous other sources -J.avanzado (talk) 09:44, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- This still does not meet requirement 3: mother "monster" is a nickname, not a honorific nickname. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 17:40, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- There's at least one article that explicitly states "Mother Monster" as an honorific title for Gaga. Also in the book The Oxford Handbook of the Bible and American Popular Culture by Dan W. Clanton Jr et. al., the authors used the phrasing "referred to as Mother Monster" which is contextually similar to the usage of the terms "widely", "dubbed" or "often called" which is one of the requirements for inclusion of such title. As a point of contention it would be wise to discuss why you believe the title "Mother Monster" is just a nickname and not an honorific title bestowed to her by media and her fans. -J.avanzado (talk) 04:33, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- "Mother Monster" doesn’t carry the same honorific weight as titles like "Queen of Pop", which Gaga is already listed for in this article. To be honest, even her Wikipedia article writes
Gaga's fans call her "Mother Monster", and she often refers to them as "Little Monsters"
, which tells me that this nickname isn't used much outside her fandom. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 22:01, 9 August 2024 (UTC)- If that's the case, then shouldn't it be too for "Father, Son and the Holy Ghost", "Vocal Trinity", "Asia's Songbird", "The Boss", "The Stupendous One", "The Chairman of the Board", "The Artist", "The Sun of Mexico", "Mama Africa" (this one even resembling Mother Monster), etc which were all listed in this wiki page? In my view honorifics shouldn't be boxed in titles that has "Queen/King of something" in them and that Mother Monster by definition fits the categories of an honorific title separate from her Queen of Pop title which has been contested by other people most notably by fans of Madonna, as does all these titles I listed and all the cases of such titles throughout history which most of the time started as sobriquets attached to them by other people like historians, journalists or fanatics. —J.avanzado (talk) 04:28, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
