I removed material on bar fights Diff of Davido. WP:BLPCRIME calls for the exclusion of such material unless charges have been laid. Comments are welcome. -- Diannaa ( talk) 18:03, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
Regarding re-adding the content, once material has been challenged, you shouldn't re-add it unless there's consensus to do so on the talk page. Re-adding material once it's been challenged is (as you probably know) called WP:edit warring, and it's something you can be blocked for. Edit warring to restore contentious material on a biography of a living person (BLP) is definitely something you should not do. Please read Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons for more information on Wikipedia's policies on BLPs. -- Diannaa ( talk) 21:05, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

As the creator of the article. let me just drop my comment. I understand the angle Diana is coming from. That controversy section just keeps staring at my face anytime I am reading the article. I wanted to comment on it before but probably ignored it.
But I still feel it would be very appropriate with Wikipedia policy and guidelines to dedicate a sentence or a line of text of the incident in the article. Darreg ( talk) 09:12, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
In the second incident, we have newspapers reporting that someone made accusations toward Davido in 2012, accusations which he later denied. Stuff like this does not belong in the Wikipedia article per WP:BLPCRIME, which states that we should not include material about possible criminal activity until and unless a conviction is secured, no matter how good the sourcing. I can see that both of you believe these incidents are starting to give the man a reputation for violence, but unless you have a reliable source saying that, I think it should stay out of the article. -- Diannaa ( talk) 14:30, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
The first incident is a bit trivial and if it doesn't get added back, it will be because of that. Now to the second incident. An incident doesn't always lead to a conviction. OJ Simpson was acquitted and didn't get a conviction, yet information about the incident are part of his biographical article on Wikipedia. The same thing goes for Bill Clinton who was also acquitted in the Monica Lewinsky's sex scandal. The point that I'm driving at is that not all incident will lead to a conviction. One cannot diminish or dismiss an incident just because it didn't lead to a conviction. The incident is very important. If it wasn't, it wouldn't have gotten so much media attention. You are entitled to your opinion, and so am I. I do not agree with what you're saying, and no matter what the outcome is, some people will know Davido for this incident as well as for his music. Also, this incident will in no way overshadow his music career. People generally like musicians for their music, and not their personal lives. A perfect example of this is Michael Jackson, the legendary King of Pop who will always be remember for his music first and foremost. Versace1608 (Talk) 19:34, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
Davido plays a poor farmer who falls in love with the prince's fiancé- is it a man or a woman? fiancé is male, fiancée is female.
In its second verse, Davido addresses his arrest and Caroline Danjuma's role in fueling the rumor he was involved in the death of Tagbo Umenike- It would have been nice if either of these immensely important things had been mentioned before!
Davido released "Assurance" on April 30, 2018; It samples Paw Paw's "Biggie Biggie".
he dedicated the track to his girlfriend
"If", "Fall", "Fia" and "Assurance"- these are almost all singles from the same album. Just use the album title.
"Blow My Mind" contains lyrics are about a girl who blows Davido's mind simply- unnecessary (and awful grammar, as a side note, so it may have been randomly added by a not-main editor)
who asked Davido to appear on his 2018 single "Dun Rich"- so did he feature on 'Dun Rich' or not?
said the album will feature- change tense/phrasing now that the album is out
Well it's well-written, the content of most of the writing is a long prose list of his singles. A bit of his cultural impact, traveling, music tours, and whatever this arrest and murder business is (!) should be included for suitable biographical coverage. At the moment, the article could be accurately retitled 'Description of singles and albums by Davido'. Kingsif ( talk) 14:30, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Paragraph one of § Personal life reads, "Davido has four children; two boys and two girls. He confirmed his marriage to his partner Chioma Rowland in March 2023. With four baby mama." I do not understand the last sentence, nor the reference adjacent to it, whose abstract seems like cultural jargon. The sentence was first added without any reference by Pretty-Mercy02, after which it was removed by Framawiki. Pretty-Mercy02 then readded it with the reference, after which Curious fairy added a period to the end. I am creating this discussion to avoid an edit war, and I am pinging the three aforementioned users because they each have seen the sentence and hopefully can offer insight regarding its meaning. If no one replies to this discussion with an explanation for the sentence's existence within the next few days, I will probably remove it. – CopperyMarrow15 ( talk | contribs) Don't be afraid to ping me! 18:27, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
