_ _ If the idea M-hk had is a good one, it will be a good idea next week or next month when there's been a chance to given it thorough consideration, but putting it off that long offers no significant harm, compared to the years that WP has limped along with
Luis Miguel being an article on the singer. On the other hand, it will be surprising if we've run with a bad idea for three and a half years without anyone else suggesting that. And two people quickly came up with different reasons (or different versions of similar reasons) why the old way was a good one, once the new one surfaced. The burden of proof lies with M-hk, and his suggestion of in effect waiting around while he solicits someone else to defend it for him is offensive.
_ _ In fact, i'm confident that his idea is a bad one. There is not even a consensus, i think, that pages concerned with people who share given names are encyclopedic. IMO they have been tolerated for two reasons:
I've already cited
COMMONNAME, and i remain open to someone giving evidence that there is another Luis Miguel who can muster more than 100K G-Hits, or something close with more than 77% uniqueness (in the first 1K). In the meantime, we are going back to having an article with his common name. I will add a ToP Dab to the low relevance page that M-hk has created, bcz it's hard to show how close to worthless it is, and i've got more important work to do than to try to show it.

We COULD just put on the Luis Miguel article (This article is about the Mexican singer, for other uses, see Luis Miguel (disamgution [not sure how it's spelt]). I'm pretty sure when someone types Luis Miguel, they are more than likely looking for the Mexican singer, not the others. magiciandude 20:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Luis Miguel was born in Puerto Rico and therefore he is Puerto Rican, simple as that! He was, however raised and educated in Mexico and considers himself Mexican, I'm O.K. with that. Luis Miguel enters the United States and Puerto Rico without a passport because he never renounced his U.S citizenship even though he considers himself Mexican. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that requires verifiable sources, I have the following good-faith questions with the intention of correctly informing myself and others.
1. When did Luis Miguel apply for Mexican citizenship as required by all those who are forgien born? Is there proof that he indeed is a Mexican citizen? Is there a reliable source which can show us proof of his Mexican citizenship?
2. If, let's say, George W. Bush and his parents and family moved to Mexico and lived there for forty years and all of a sudden he declares himself Mexican, would he be Mexican? Wouldn't he have to apply for citizenship and renounce his American citizenship?
3. I believe that Luis Miguel did apply for Mexican citizenship, but since he never renounced his Puerto Rican nor his U.S. citizenship, wouldn't that make him a Puerto Rican-American-Mexican?
Remember, I don't care what Luis Miguel is or claims to be, what I care is for verifiable facts that can be posted in Wikipedia. Tony the Marine 21:44, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Luis Miguel is of Mexican descent. He was born in Puerto Rico because his parents were vacationing/living there for a little while; therefore, he is by no means of Puerto Rican descent just because he happened to be there when his mother gave birth. He is a Mexican that was born outside Mexico while parents of vacation, and thereafter, moved back and was raised in his native Mexico. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ammorrossa ( talk • contribs) 07:20, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I believe that you should just search yourself for this information youd like. All your going to get here is commentary and opinion. As far as I am concerned, Luis Miguel is in fact Mexican. Hes born from Mexican parents that happened to be in Puerto Rico when they gave birth. He considers himself Mexican because his roots and decent are from there. Its like foreign people that are born in a different country, they carry that pride of their country of origin always. I was born here in usa from Mexican parents. And well i consider myself Mexican-American because i was raised here but my descent is mexican and i love it. But luis miguel cant consider himself Puerto Rican - /mexican because he wasnt raised in Puerto Rico and his descent is not from that country.

A while back, Luis Miguel was involved in an incident in a bar in Colorado. This was covered in the press, and even the court dockets were available in the 'Net. I included it in the article because the context could provide some evidence to the fact that LM has a dual nationality, something that could put to rest some of the discussions above.

Why do you need this section if the most of the material comes from amarilistic media? Who informed you that Luis Miguel was engaged to Myrka Dellanos? La revista Fama?

As far as I rememebr on Luis Miguel's official site the series of concerts from April 2007 - September 2007 was called simply Tour 2007.

I think that the article needs a free image of him in the infobox, given that fair use images of living people can't be used in the infobox. David Pro ( talk) 14:51, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
To the anonymous user(s) who keep changing the sales figures from 50 to 90 million, please stop and discuss it. There is a source for the 50 million figure so don't just change it without providing a better one. If you continue, you can be blocked and the article can be protected. I don't think asking for some dialogue is unreasonable. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 06:41, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I do not think there is a big difference between 50mln and 52mln in this case, so the artists cite might be cited as well. And yes, I know that is not the best source, but as a secondary source I wouldn't raise a brow over it. The source stating 90mln might have been mistaken, but on the other hand I do not see how you can remove it. It is after all a source. Especially since the article specifies that it represents a different opinion.
And please don't scare editors, even anonymous, with blocking. You yourself are trespassing here when you remove sourced material. Consider Wikipedia:Newbie#Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers. Debresser ( talk) 16:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm not a party in this discussion per se, I'm just having a look how the discussion is being handeled by the involved parties. Deleting it might be a nice way of resolving this problem. Debresser ( talk) 11:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Go ahead. But I do hope you mean Harout72 and I and that anonymous user. Do not repeat the mistake of Harout72 and avoid edit war or deleting sourced information. Present all the sources here, talk it over, try to involve perhaps some other editor whom you respect and who has not been involved in this article yet, and act upon consensus. Debresser ( talk) 14:55, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Well, I know that Miguel is considered the most popular Latin Artist since 1990, and Billboard mentions this about him in their site, the original work of which is done by All Music Guide, perhaps we could use that [6]. There should be more info available on him (since he's earned 304 platinums), maybe in Spanish though (I'll look around). He's had his first Grammy by age of 14, I think that's rather a great achievement we should mention [7]. It's just for some reason I am having a hard time locating a sales figure for him published by a prominent English language news service; however, I never thought the German language source should be discounted (which I am assuming is the main reason behind Debresser's presence here).-- Harout72 ( talk) 06:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
I've been reading and i found out that he sold around 100 million copies, maybe i'm wrong but there are a lor of articles that say so Xtinafanxz ( talk) 16:30, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
"Me Gustas Tal Como Eres" (You Like Me Just As You Are)
The English translation in parentheses is wrong. It should be "I like you just as you are" or "You are pleasing to me just the way you are." Something. Just not that. "You like me just as you are" both wouldn't make sense and would be "Te gusto tal como eres" instead. Unless, of course, the actual title includes the mistranslation, then we'd be on a whole different topic. -- GMSuerte ( talk) 23:17, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

According to the CURP database, Luis Miguel still holds Spanish nationality and is not a Mexican citizen. The CURP is the national identification number for all Mexican citizens and legal residents of Mexico. After plugging in Luis Miguel's statistics, here is what his CURP info produces: http://consultas.curp.gob.mx/CurpSP/curp1.do?strPrimerApellido=GALLEGO&strSegundoAplido=BASTERI&strNombre=LUIS%20MIGUEL&strdia=19&strmes=04&stranio=1970&sSexoA=H&sEntidadA=NE&rdbBD=myoracle&strTipo=A&entfija=DF&depfija=04
As you can see, Luis Miguel is still a Spanish citizen due to being of a Spanish father. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.171.52.166 ( talk) 04:47, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello I am writing to persuit you into adding another category.
I am a new member and I cannot do it myself.
The new category is "DUETS" in which list Luis Miguel and other singers singing an specific song.
EXAMPLE:
Luis Miguel & Lucho Gatica > NO me platiques mas
LUis Miguel & Lola Beltran > Mexico Lindo y querido
Luis Miguel & Yuri > YO te pido amor
please consider this new category , if you need help finding out all the duets, I can contribute you with the information.
If his birth date is actually April 18 (though he celebrates his birthday as April 19) shouldn't his birth date be April 18, 1970 not April 19, 1970?? 67.9.143.66 ( talk)

I think that the article needs a free image of him in the infobox, given that fair use images of living people can't be used in the infobox. David Pro ( talk) 14:51, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
To the anonymous user(s) who keep changing the sales figures from 50 to 90 million, please stop and discuss it. There is a source for the 50 million figure so don't just change it without providing a better one. If you continue, you can be blocked and the article can be protected. I don't think asking for some dialogue is unreasonable. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 06:41, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I do not think there is a big difference between 50mln and 52mln in this case, so the artists cite might be cited as well. And yes, I know that is not the best source, but as a secondary source I wouldn't raise a brow over it. The source stating 90mln might have been mistaken, but on the other hand I do not see how you can remove it. It is after all a source. Especially since the article specifies that it represents a different opinion.
And please don't scare editors, even anonymous, with blocking. You yourself are trespassing here when you remove sourced material. Consider Wikipedia:Newbie#Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers. Debresser ( talk) 16:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
I am sorry, the one removing that sourced material was not you, that was User:Harout72. Debresser ( talk) 17:10, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
For what it's worth, Webster’s Quotations, Facts and Phrases claims over 60 million sold. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 07:42, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm not a party in this discussion per se, I'm just having a look how the discussion is being handeled by the involved parties. Deleting it might be a nice way of resolving this problem. Debresser ( talk) 11:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Go ahead. But I do hope you mean Harout72 and I and that anonymous user. Do not repeat the mistake of Harout72 and avoid edit war or deleting sourced information. Present all the sources here, talk it over, try to involve perhaps some other editor whom you respect and who has not been involved in this article yet, and act upon consensus. Debresser ( talk) 14:55, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Well, I know that Miguel is considered the most popular Latin Artist since 1990, and Billboard mentions this about him in their site, the original work of which is done by All Music Guide, perhaps we could use that [6]. There should be more info available on him (since he's earned 304 platinums), maybe in Spanish though (I'll look around). He's had his first Grammy by age of 14, I think that's rather a great achievement we should mention [7]. It's just for some reason I am having a hard time locating a sales figure for him published by a prominent English language news service; however, I never thought the German language source should be discounted (which I am assuming is the main reason behind Debresser's presence here).-- Harout72 ( talk) 06:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
I've been reading and i found out that he sold around 100 million copies, maybe i'm wrong but there are a lor of articles that say so Xtinafanxz ( talk) 16:30, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
"Me Gustas Tal Como Eres" (You Like Me Just As You Are)
The English translation in parentheses is wrong. It should be "I like you just as you are" or "You are pleasing to me just the way you are." Something. Just not that. "You like me just as you are" both wouldn't make sense and would be "Te gusto tal como eres" instead. Unless, of course, the actual title includes the mistranslation, then we'd be on a whole different topic. -- GMSuerte ( talk) 23:17, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
In 1996, Luis Miguel became the first Latin artist to receive a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[2] -- this is incorrect & record-company hype. Several people preceded him:

According to the CURP database, Luis Miguel still holds Spanish nationality and is not a Mexican citizen. The CURP is the national identification number for all Mexican citizens and legal residents of Mexico. After plugging in Luis Miguel's statistics, here is what his CURP info produces: http://consultas.curp.gob.mx/CurpSP/curp1.do?strPrimerApellido=GALLEGO&strSegundoAplido=BASTERI&strNombre=LUIS%20MIGUEL&strdia=19&strmes=04&stranio=1970&sSexoA=H&sEntidadA=NE&rdbBD=myoracle&strTipo=A&entfija=DF&depfija=04
As you can see, Luis Miguel is still a Spanish citizen due to being of a Spanish father. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.171.52.166 ( talk) 04:47, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello I am writing to persuit you into adding another category.
I am a new member and I cannot do it myself.
The new category is "DUETS" in which list Luis Miguel and other singers singing an specific song.
EXAMPLE:
Luis Miguel & Lucho Gatica > NO me platiques mas
LUis Miguel & Lola Beltran > Mexico Lindo y querido
Luis Miguel & Yuri > YO te pido amor
please consider this new category , if you need help finding out all the duets, I can contribute you with the information.
If his birth date is actually April 18 (though he celebrates his birthday as April 19) shouldn't his birth date be April 18, 1970 not April 19, 1970?? 67.9.143.66 ( talk)

@ Josemi5000: Please stop changing the sales figures, 100 million is inflated and his certifications don't reflect it. Get consensus on this talk page instead of edit warring with other editors. Erick ( talk) 22:36, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
Putting Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias with more sales than Luis Miguel is blatantly lying. Josemi5000 ( talk) 06:51, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
Luis Miguel's albums have been released in America, Europe and Asia several times. For example, Romance from 1991 is the best-selling album in the history of the Spanish language with more than 12 million units. Your bolero albums have more than 45 million copies sold, almost half of all your physical and digital sales, greetings.. Josemi5000 ( talk) 20:07, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
