Should we change the pronouns on this article back? (This seems to be different from the discussion above, which uses Instagram as a source.) George Huntley ( talk) 18:53, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
feeling more femininedoesn't have anything in particular to do with being or not being nonbinary.
such a fluid personmight hint at an emerging genderfluid identity, but that isn't mutually exclusive with nonbinary identity and, in any event, isn't presented as a gender identity in these articles. Newimpartial ( talk) 19:24, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
https://www.etonline.com/demi-lovato-updates-her-pronouns-to-sheher-188417 Hello, it appears that plenty of non deprecated sources have reported on this and she herself made the statement she has officially changed her pronouns back, including her saying “Everyone messes up pronouns at some point” implies she has abandoned identifying as they/them. We should respect her wishes and change her Wikipedia page to reflect how she identifies, especially before users like Newimpartial that contributed to petty conflict in the other topic on her talk page turn this into a repeat of that topic. JNC23 ( talk) 19:46, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
“Everyone messes up pronouns at some point”should not be misread as suggesting that Demi messed up their own pronouns - that's not what it says.

The article is fake news and clickbait, Lovato never stopped using the they/them pronouns, they added the she/her pronouns months ago, but the main ones are the neutral ones, they identifies as a non-binary person. They never claimed to leave their pronouns in the interview, their pronouns are on his Instagram. In the article, the neutral pronouns must remain, since they are the main ones that they uses. "As of August 2nd, 2022, Lovato no longer uses they/them pronouns" is fake, please restore to the previous and correct version.:) BePlus ( talk) 21:27, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

I would like to object to the current formulation of the footnote, as I do not believe that anything in what Demi said indicates a complete abandonment of they/them pronouns and Instagram still lists they/them/she/her. I think that a formulation similar to the one on Judith Butler's article (along the lines of "Lovato uses they/them and she/her pronouns, but in August 2022 expressed a preference for the latter.") would respect recent developments while not completely ignoring they/them. Bizarre Bizarre Talk modern to me 12:58, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Demi Lovato goes by Demi and not her birth name. The lead should read "Demi Lovato (born <birth name> [...]". We need to decide whether to put her birth name in parentheses or not. It may even be possible to remove her deadname, per MOS:DEADNAME. WPEditor42 ( talk) 20:19, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
In "Early life and career beginnings", please change "whom she first spoke to when Demi was 20 years old." to "whom Demi first spoke to at age 20." I feel this better handles the issue of the double she pronouns for Amber and Demi by removing that issue altogether, as it reads a bit clunky in its current form to refer to Demi as "she" first and then by her name. FeFiFo ( talk) 01:49, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
Please, since edition is closed to prevent vandalism, Demi’s genre should be updated. Her last album is rock and there are many reliable sources. For example
https://www.billboard.com/lists/demi-lovato-holy-fvck-tracks-ranked/
Also, most of the professional reviews agree on the album being rock, with some pop punk songs and metal, hard rock and goth influences. Maybe the best option is: Early and contemporary: rock, pop punk, pop rock. And the rest: R&B, Pop… Hadriensaori ( talk) 17:18, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
Also, in Don’t forget page I added a source classifying the album as Rock. Hadriensaori ( talk) 17:19, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Dear Mr/Mrs, I think the main Profile Picture of the Singer-Songwriter Demi Lovato should be changed. As is a very old photo of her in 2020 and it doesn't even show off her beauty in the best possible way instead it is a photo taken from an interview while she was laughing and moving around. So I request you to kindly change this picture of her to a new one.
I suggest a picture below but you can choose any other one that suits you and help show off her beauty in the best way possible.
change https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Demi_Lovato_Interview_Feb_2020.png to https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/e226ae1d136d9d3b06adad9873a17d3723cb8cf8/0_88_3500_2100/master/3500.jpg?width=1200&height=1200&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&s=0eb5a9e6b34e88b82b20a8cc8e7ea265

Demi lovato no longer uses they/them 2600:4040:28C6:3C00:41EE:FDD7:CB47:AF8B ( talk) 16:20, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
I know we've had this discussion several times and I hate to rehash this. However, in light of a new interview with Demi with the Spanish edition of GQ, [1] I am once again questioning which set (they/them or she/her) to use across articles. Demi has said in this new interview that they adopted she/her again in addition to they/them (never as a replacement, unlike what was reported in some outlets) because "I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns [they/them]. It was absolutely exhausting. [...] I just got tired." [2] [3] To me, this indicates a clear preference for they/them. For transparency, I will disclose that I am non-binary and use they/them pronouns myself, which may colour my interpretation. However, speaking to other Lovatics on social media showed me that I was not the only one in thinking this. What does everyone else think? The change has been made in both directions before so I don't believe it would be too complicated to adjust it again, but it's still a big change so I would like to reach consensus. Bizarre Bizarre Talk modern to me 10:49, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
If someone expresses a feminine pronoun choice in one language it is common sense that the choice would extend to all languages. It is absurd to claim otherwise.I take feminine or neuter pronouns in English, but exclusively feminine pronouns in grammatically gendered languages. Anecdotally, I think that's pretty common for multilingual nonbinary people. Haven't looked enough into the specifics to say whether it applies here, but you're very off-base to say consistency across languages is "common sense" and that the alternative is "absurd". -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 20:19, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Two people are in favour of it in the lead: Ben0006 and Barry Wom. There argument is the same per WP:HYPOCORISM: "Assume that most non-English hypocorisms are not familiar as hypocorisms to readers of the English Wikipedia, even if well-known in their native culture". But this is countered by the fact that Demi Lovato is an American whose first language is English, regardless of her mixed ancestry. So far two people are against the inclusion of Demi in the lead: myself and Bizarre Bizarre. Because of the simple reason that "Demi" is an obvious diminutive for Demetria, and both are not unusual names in America (remember her?). Can both sides now reach an agreement please? Kailash29792 (talk) 05:18, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
"Demi" is an obvious diminutive for Demetria.
I believe the fact that several sources list her as "born Demetria Guynes" shows that there is some sort of established tradition of Demi as a nickname for Demetria
Demi Evans, whose full name is listed as Demetrious in her article; this is pretty similar to Demetria
Demi Lovato will release a new album on September 15 titled Revamped, with new versions of songs already released. I'm in doubt if we should place it in the "Discography" section and how to classify it. Remix album? (According to Wikipedia an album consisting of remixes or rerecorded versions of an artist's earlier released material). Compilation album? (According to this source). Or studio album? Also Variety names it as a "collection". For me, I believe that we should not place it in the "Discography" section, and name it a remix album, taking into account the definition of Wikipedia. I am looking for other opinions. BePlus ( talk) 16:16, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Lovato's fourth studio album is mentioned as an eponymous album in the second paragraph of the article. Since Lovato's stage name is "Demi Lovato" and the album is only called "Demi" and NOT "Demi Lovato" I do not believe it is correct to describe the album as eponymous.

Demi lovato no longer uses they/them 2600:4040:28C6:3C00:41EE:FDD7:CB47:AF8B ( talk) 16:20, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
I know we've had this discussion several times and I hate to rehash this. However, in light of a new interview with Demi with the Spanish edition of GQ, [1] I am once again questioning which set (they/them or she/her) to use across articles. Demi has said in this new interview that they adopted she/her again in addition to they/them (never as a replacement, unlike what was reported in some outlets) because "I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns [they/them]. It was absolutely exhausting. [...] I just got tired." [2] [3] To me, this indicates a clear preference for they/them. For transparency, I will disclose that I am non-binary and use they/them pronouns myself, which may colour my interpretation. However, speaking to other Lovatics on social media showed me that I was not the only one in thinking this. What does everyone else think? The change has been made in both directions before so I don't believe it would be too complicated to adjust it again, but it's still a big change so I would like to reach consensus.

If someone expresses a feminine pronoun choice in one language it is common sense that the choice would extend to all languages. It is absurd to claim otherwise.I take feminine or neuter pronouns in English, but exclusively feminine pronouns in grammatically gendered languages. Anecdotally, I think that's pretty common for multilingual nonbinary people. Haven't looked enough into the specifics to say whether it applies here, but you're very off-base to say consistency across languages is "common sense" and that the alternative is "absurd". -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 20:19, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Two people are in favour of it in the lead: Ben0006 and Barry Wom. There argument is the same per WP:HYPOCORISM: "Assume that most non-English hypocorisms are not familiar as hypocorisms to readers of the English Wikipedia, even if well-known in their native culture". But this is countered by the fact that Demi Lovato is an American whose first language is English, regardless of her mixed ancestry. So far two people are against the inclusion of Demi in the lead: myself and Bizarre Bizarre. Because of the simple reason that "Demi" is an obvious diminutive for Demetria, and both are not unusual names in America (remember her?). Can both sides now reach an agreement please?

"Demi" is an obvious diminutive for Demetria.
I believe the fact that several sources list her as "born Demetria Guynes" shows that there is some sort of established tradition of Demi as a nickname for Demetria
Demi Evans, whose full name is listed as Demetrious in her article; this is pretty similar to Demetria
Demi Lovato will release a new album on September 15 titled Revamped, with new versions of songs already released. I'm in doubt if we should place it in the "Discography" section and how to classify it. Remix album? (According to Wikipedia an album consisting of remixes or rerecorded versions of an artist's earlier released material). Compilation album? (According to this source). Or studio album? Also Variety names it as a "collection". For me, I believe that we should not place it in the "Discography" section, and name it a remix album, taking into account the definition of Wikipedia. I am looking for other opinions. BePlus ( talk) 16:16, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Lovato's fourth studio album is mentioned as an eponymous album in the second paragraph of the article. Since Lovato's stage name is "Demi Lovato" and the album is only called "Demi" and NOT "Demi Lovato" I do not believe it is correct to describe the album as eponymous.
