Controversies[edit]

Should there be a section about controversies Madonna has been involved in? Like accusations of child trafficking and stuff. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 23:10, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@NintendoTTTEfan2005: the information is actually present in one of her articles, philantrophy and activism. Seems it was a claim made by the EWF and later by Candace Owens and met a bit of popularity in Twitter or some platforms. A demand for a "controversy" section seems have been requested here since mid '00s by some IPs and active users of their time. The lack of the section might be comparable to the absence of other sections like "public image", a bit common section in some pop stars and other public figures articles. But her public image/controversies are fragmented by areas (like Donald Trump), because she has "many" public image(s)/reception(s), evidenced by areas such as her gay icon status, fashion and more plus denoted by a response from multiple ideologies/interests and decades/clichés from popular press and other sectors. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 14:38, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Lets not use drivel by a despicable piece of shit like Candace Owens to try to engage an accusation piece on Madonna, when everything has proven to be the opposite of.

Well, how about you look up "Madonna sex trafficking" on Google and see what you can find. Analyze the information available and then we go from there to determine whether this is notable to be included in this article. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 14:59, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@NintendoTTTEfan2005: Regardless if the info is later deleted or synthetized (now or posthumously), what you request is found under the circunstances of the above article. About Google searches, seems those are circular reports with roots from the mentioned organization. Maybe we can compare it to request conservative reactions regarding Nintendo in their main's article, though Madonna generates a more "obvious" reaction due to her known polarized figure xD. Although are not untypical reactions from sectors like religious/conservatives/sociological reviews towards even superstars of "friendly"/"nice" image within popular press/public collective. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 16:36, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. There has undoubtedly been criticism throughout her career (similarly with many public figures) and I was very much expecting to find one in Wiki. Its absence seems to suggest an effort to keep the entry clean fbow. 2600:1700:22F0:59EF:8980:6397:490C:72B0 (talk) 22:28, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know enough about trafficking accusations to comment on those, but lumping controversies into separate sections/subsections within bio pages is frowned upon as that would create undue negative weight. We're better off interspersing such details throughout the article instead. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 00:24, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that makes sense. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 15:35, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I know this is not a reliable source, I heard about this from watching this YouTube video titled "Madonna Investigated for Human Trafficking Her Own Children" by SLOAN NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 13:40, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One studio album is missing/listed as a soundtrack. I'm Breathless (1990) is a full-length studio album, with music from/inspired by the film Dick Tracy. An actual soundtrack for the movie is also available. 216.187.38.170 (talk) 18:02, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
