Zendaya Coleman → Zendaya — She only goes by her first name, like Cher. -- Confession0791 talk 03:31, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Dear Wiki Admins,
I represent LOL Social Media Group and manage Miss Coleman's official website, Zendaya.Com. We work directly with Miss Coleman, her family, her manager, her publicist, and her agent.
Her Wikipedia page states: Zendaya is signed to Hollywood Records which is the same music label as many other disney stars such as Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez.
Zendaya is NOT signed to Hollywood Records! The single "Swag It Out" was released independently. This can be verified here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/swag-it-out/id439662455?i=439662504&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
Please make this correction at your earliest convenience.
Thank you very much!

Zendaya's Full name is Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman . Scorce www.imdb.com/name/nm3918035/bio. -- Bella##Fan##262 ( talk) 16:28, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Well what I find a reliable scorce. Because we could put it in the infobox in the Birth name part. There's no rule that says we can't do that.After all many other stars have it done like that.
(like Bella Thorne---Annabella Avery Thorne
Taylor Swift---Taylor Alison Swift
Lena Meyer-Landrut---Lena Johanna Threase Meyer-Landrut
etc)
so there is no rule that says we can't put it in the info box if someone finds a reliable scorce. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BellaFan262 ( talk • contribs) 14:19, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
Genres should be referenced from reliable sources. I added allmusic's evaluation ( "Zendaya - Credits". allmusic by Rovi. 2012. Retrieved December 23, 2012.) that stated genres as Pop/Rock and Children's. Allmusic is a recognized authority on genre classification so needs a pretty good reference to say they are wrong. This is based on what she has done so far. Pop rock is a pretty high level genre and encompass a lot of styles that don't need to be mentioned in this level of article.
Zendaya mentioned plans for a future album in this video from March 2011 and mentioned the types of music she is planning on doing. These are still only stated plans and don't count as an evaluation of what she has actually done. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 22:34, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
I removed this allmusic reference to entry for "Something to Dance For" as the listed song genre is Pop/Rock with style Pop. Genre listed is same as for allmusic artist genre so was redundant. Style "pop" is basically a sub-genre of Pop/Rock for this song and need not be listed here as the genre includes it. Also genre "Children's" is listed in the main artist listing so should not be removed without a good reason as it does have a good reference. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 04:48, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Zendaya's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Please correct the meaning of Zendaya's name. It's either it means "to give thanks" in yet another language but Shona. I am Shona myself from Zimbabwe. The Shona name meaning "to give thanks" is TENDAYI. Its rarely spelt with a "Y" that is normally TENDAI.We also have versions of the name TENDAI, such as TATENDA, (my daughter's name), TINOTENDA, NOKUTENDA and a couple more. I am guessing who ever named her, if they were looking for a Shona name with that meaning it should have been "TENDAYI", unless otherwise "Zendaya" has a similar meaning in yet another language. Prominent figures from Zimbabwe with this name are namely Tendai Biti Zimbabwe's Minister of Finance, Tendai Mtawarira Zimbabwean born, South African rugby union player etc Please refer to the link provided for meanings of Shona names zimnames.It is vey common practice for most Shona names to end with ...ishe, which means Lord, in which case the version Tinotendaishe, simply means - "give thanks to the Lord".

We have references to support current article content and according to WP:V that is what we must go by. No response to the question I asked above and no additional references provided. Even though the spelling may be technically incorrect it is a plausible English phonetic spelling of a foreign word. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 18:57, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
I am also a Shona speaker and as such think that to say this is trivial is insulting. Either you are interested in accuracy or not. Zendaya cannot be a variation on the name Tendai - never in a million years. No one who speaks Shona would replace a 'T' with a 'Z'. Her name is fictional, based on no language - maybe inspired by the Shona name Tendai but meaningless. Also to end the phrase give thanks with 'ya' is totally meaningless in the shona language. Please can you reflect that truth - I heard this nonsense being quoted on radio - which is why it makes me mad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.221.242.190 ( talk • contribs) 14:48, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Zendaya's official site states that her name derives from the word, "Tendayi," meaning "give thanks" in Shona (a Bantu language native to the Shona people of Zimbabwe).

This article contains the following "Zendaya promptly took to Instagram to address the racist reference of the remark and point out that many successful people have 'locs,'". While nobody actually can know what Guiliana Rancic actually thinks, describing her comment as "racist" seems inaccurate for a couple of reasons. As the second part of the sentence points out, "many successful people have 'locs'", including many white people. The comment may be stereo-typing Zendaya as a pot-head because of her hair style, but unless you believe that only black people smoke pot (in which case, you're the racist), the comment falls far short of the editorialized "racist reference". It is my understanding that Wikipedia aims to avoid editorializing.
My suggestion is to change "Zendaya promptly took to Instagram to address the racist reference of the remark" to "Zendaya promptly took to Instagram to address the remark". Matthewottoweber ( talk) 14:54, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
New Section (?? Thought there was supposed to be a button to create a new section). Anyway I want to address the following section of the page, right after citation 42:
"...in December 2017, Zendaya co-starred in the musical film The Greatest Showman, alongside Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron, as an trapeze artist named Anne Wheeler, who falls in love with Efron's character, Phillip Carlyle, durring a time Interracial romance was taboo. Her chemistry with Efron throught the film was well received by Owen Gleiberman from Variety "Efron and Zendaya have a terrific chemistry — they never stop seeking each other out." [43] The Greatest Showman grossed $18.6 million over its first six days, finishing 4th at the box office.[44]"
First, it should be "a trapeze artist", not "an trapeze artist". Then the sentence about chemisty needs to be rewritten; it's hard to know just what's being said. "Throught" is supposed to be "throughout", but probably we don't need that word. I'd suggest simply "Owen Gleiberman stated in Variety: "Effron and Zendaya... etc." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neurodog ( talk • contribs) 02:48, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Also, "during" should have only one r, and "a time when Interracial romance"-- should be " a time when interracial..." No reason for capital letters, and it works better with the word "when" in there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neurodog ( talk • contribs) 02:52, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

I fail to understand how she qualifies as a 'single name' star. Generally a singer has to have a couple of platinum albums - her "best" (if you can call a kiddie album that) peaked at #51. While all the bloated egos in Hollywood want to be so famous as to be known by their single name (or stage name), she isn't that. In fact she doesn't make Ranker's list of the 96 'top' single name stars. Simply because her fans as well as her Public Relations machine try to pretend that she's got that status, she doesn't qualify, imho. This article ought not to be titled that.

In the lead sentence after her name, it says known mononymously as, which should have not been there in the first place. SNUGGUMS had done this practice multiple times with single named people such as Madonna and Kesha Rose Sebert. Of course she was never credited by her full name in both of her Disney shows to date. I repeat the phrase should have not been there in the first place.

I think that the details of her music career should be moved to her ‘Other Ventures’ page. She has chosen to turn her focus towards acting, so keeping her music career where it is seems a little pointless. That would also make room to add more details of her acting in that area instead, which is what she is most well known for. Ajack15 ( talk) 01:10, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Please consider (just consider) switching main photo to Google search panel profile photo if available & possible by license. It has dark but uniform background and imho is really much better photo as profile one. Google has it locked internationally (probably on all language editions) as main photo shown in her search panel (quite interesting if this is their idea or it was submitted by her representative). Just an idea because this other photo from the same event that you discussed earlier about is possible best but background is bad actually and it is too dark. Current one on the other hand is not her best to be used here in my opinion. With all her styles it is hard to choose best but I think Google has the best one to represent.

The consensus is to use the 2019 photo ( File:Zendaya 2019 by Glenn Francis.jpg) or 2019a ( File:Zendaya - 2019 by Glenn Francis.jpg) photo. There is no prejudice against further discussion about which 2019 photo to use.
Should the 2018 photo be used or should the 2019 photo be used? The 2019 photo shouldn't be used just because it's more recent, there has to be a legitimate reason to use it or any other 2019 photo of Zendaya. I don't care either way, as long as a proper discussion is held, per policies, for an official consensus to form. Pinging involved editors: Toglenn, Mazewaxie, Krimuk2.0, Davey2010. Amaury • 15:40, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
The only exception to that is former child actors – for them, if you can replace an image of the subject as a child with an image of the subject as a teen or adult, then that would justify using the "most recent" image even if the most recent image is "lower quality".This isn't the case here, as the 2018 photo is still Zendaya as an adult. Amaury • 16:03, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
Regarding the 2019 photo of Zendaya:
One of the things a photographer who specializes in photos of people tries to capture is the person’s personality or character.
The choice a woman makes when it comes to what to wear to the Red Carpet premiere of your movie is an extremely important and a very personal choice. The outfit one chooses is a good indicator of something about a person’s personality. The outfit Zendaya chose to wear helps identify the person she is beyond just what she looks like. The 2019 photo achieves that.
In addition to providing an image of what Zendaya looks like today, the 2019 photo is technically far superior to a low quality video screen grab that was copied from YouTube. My 2019 photo is hi-resolution (2.3MB) with a printable dpi of 300 whereas the low-res screen grab is not. Wikipedia is a very high-quality publication, and so should be the photos. The composition of this photo is also what Wikipedia prefers – a recent and pleasant Portrait style close-up of the person looking into the camera (not away from the camera). Also, this 2019 photo is the main photo on 60 Foreign language Wikipedia’s.
For those who are interested, here is Zendaya’s full outfit.
Thanks for everyone’s input and consideration. Glenn Francis ( talk) 00:52, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

I looked at a few different photos of Zendaya. I suspect there is something wrong with the 2019a photo (see above) used in the article. It looks to me that her skin has been artificially lightened to make her look racially white rather than brown. All other photos, even the 2019 photo above which is lighter than most, give her darker skin. If my suspicion is correct, the 2019a photo is unethical and should be replaced.

Hi. Before anymore edits are made to the filmography section, can we discuss exactly what should be written here first? I feel like starting a back and forth becomes disruptive. No films that don't have a confirmed release year/are not currently in principal photography should be placed in her filmography table. A White Lie, Finest Kind, the Ronnie Spector biopic: all of these have been announced, but there are no current updates on them. As for the music videos, just for consistency, they should be placed at the bottom. That's how it is on other actor's pages ( Thandiwe Newton and Issa Rae for example). She hasn't been making music for years, and hasn't been in a music video since 2017. Making her music videography the focal point of the section is nonsensical.

Dear Wiki Admins,
I represent LOL Social Media Group and manage Miss Coleman's official website, Zendaya.Com. We work directly with Miss Coleman, her family, her manager, her publicist, and her agent.
Her Wikipedia page states: Zendaya is signed to Hollywood Records which is the same music label as many other disney stars such as Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez.
Zendaya is NOT signed to Hollywood Records! The single "Swag It Out" was released independently. This can be verified here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/swag-it-out/id439662455?i=439662504&ign-mpt=uo%3D4

Genres should be referenced from reliable sources. I added allmusic's evaluation ( "Zendaya - Credits". allmusic by Rovi. 2012. Retrieved December 23, 2012.) that stated genres as Pop/Rock and Children's. Allmusic is a recognized authority on genre classification so needs a pretty good reference to say they are wrong. This is based on what she has done so far. Pop rock is a pretty high level genre and encompass a lot of styles that don't need to be mentioned in this level of article.
Zendaya mentioned plans for a future album in this video from March 2011 and mentioned the types of music she is planning on doing. These are still only stated plans and don't count as an evaluation of what she has actually done. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 22:34, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
I removed this allmusic reference to entry for "Something to Dance For" as the listed song genre is Pop/Rock with style Pop. Genre listed is same as for allmusic artist genre so was redundant. Style "pop" is basically a sub-genre of Pop/Rock for this song and need not be listed here as the genre includes it. Also genre "Children's" is listed in the main artist listing so should not be removed without a good reason as it does have a good reference. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 04:48, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Please correct the meaning of Zendaya's name. It's either it means "to give thanks" in yet another language but Shona. I am Shona myself from Zimbabwe. The Shona name meaning "to give thanks" is TENDAYI. Its rarely spelt with a "Y" that is normally TENDAI.We also have versions of the name TENDAI, such as TATENDA, (my daughter's name), TINOTENDA, NOKUTENDA and a couple more. I am guessing who ever named her, if they were looking for a Shona name with that meaning it should have been "TENDAYI", unless otherwise "Zendaya" has a similar meaning in yet another language. Prominent figures from Zimbabwe with this name are namely Tendai Biti Zimbabwe's Minister of Finance, Tendai Mtawarira Zimbabwean born, South African rugby union player etc Please refer to the link provided for meanings of Shona names zimnames.It is vey common practice for most Shona names to end with ...ishe, which means Lord, in which case the version Tinotendaishe, simply means - "give thanks to the Lord".

We have references to support current article content and according to WP:V that is what we must go by. No response to the question I asked above and no additional references provided. Even though the spelling may be technically incorrect it is a plausible English phonetic spelling of a foreign word. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 18:57, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
I am also a Shona speaker and as such think that to say this is trivial is insulting. Either you are interested in accuracy or not. Zendaya cannot be a variation on the name Tendai - never in a million years. No one who speaks Shona would replace a 'T' with a 'Z'. Her name is fictional, based on no language - maybe inspired by the Shona name Tendai but meaningless. Also to end the phrase give thanks with 'ya' is totally meaningless in the shona language. Please can you reflect that truth - I heard this nonsense being quoted on radio - which is why it makes me mad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.221.242.190 ( talk • contribs) 14:48, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

This article contains the following "Zendaya promptly took to Instagram to address the racist reference of the remark and point out that many successful people have 'locs,'". While nobody actually can know what Guiliana Rancic actually thinks, describing her comment as "racist" seems inaccurate for a couple of reasons. As the second part of the sentence points out, "many successful people have 'locs'", including many white people. The comment may be stereo-typing Zendaya as a pot-head because of her hair style, but unless you believe that only black people smoke pot (in which case, you're the racist), the comment falls far short of the editorialized "racist reference". It is my understanding that Wikipedia aims to avoid editorializing.
My suggestion is to change "Zendaya promptly took to Instagram to address the racist reference of the remark" to "Zendaya promptly took to Instagram to address the remark". Matthewottoweber ( talk) 14:54, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
New Section (?? Thought there was supposed to be a button to create a new section). Anyway I want to address the following section of the page, right after citation 42:
"...in December 2017, Zendaya co-starred in the musical film The Greatest Showman, alongside Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron, as an trapeze artist named Anne Wheeler, who falls in love with Efron's character, Phillip Carlyle, durring a time Interracial romance was taboo. Her chemistry with Efron throught the film was well received by Owen Gleiberman from Variety "Efron and Zendaya have a terrific chemistry — they never stop seeking each other out." [43] The Greatest Showman grossed $18.6 million over its first six days, finishing 4th at the box office.[44]"
First, it should be "a trapeze artist", not "an trapeze artist". Then the sentence about chemisty needs to be rewritten; it's hard to know just what's being said. "Throught" is supposed to be "throughout", but probably we don't need that word. I'd suggest simply "Owen Gleiberman stated in Variety: "Effron and Zendaya... etc." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neurodog ( talk • contribs) 02:48, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Also, "during" should have only one r, and "a time when Interracial romance"-- should be " a time when interracial..." No reason for capital letters, and it works better with the word "when" in there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neurodog ( talk • contribs) 02:52, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Can we change the lead image? The current one is a screenshot from a YouTube video and has got a really poor quality, while the newer one is an actual photography and is far better IMO. -- Mazewaxie ( talk • contribs) 15:38, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
I fail to understand how she qualifies as a 'single name' star. Generally a singer has to have a couple of platinum albums - her "best" (if you can call a kiddie album that) peaked at #51. While all the bloated egos in Hollywood want to be so famous as to be known by their single name (or stage name), she isn't that. In fact she doesn't make Ranker's list of the 96 'top' single name stars. Simply because her fans as well as her Public Relations machine try to pretend that she's got that status, she doesn't qualify, imho. This article ought not to be titled that. (Full disclosure: I've never heard of her (although I must have seen her in Spider-man)). 40.142.185.108 ( talk) 03:45, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

In the lead sentence after her name, it says known mononymously as, which should have not been there in the first place. SNUGGUMS had done this practice multiple times with single named people such as Madonna and Kesha Rose Sebert. Of course she was never credited by her full name in both of her Disney shows to date. I repeat the phrase should have not been there in the first place.

I think that the details of her music career should be moved to her ‘Other Ventures’ page. She has chosen to turn her focus towards acting, so keeping her music career where it is seems a little pointless. That would also make room to add more details of her acting in that area instead, which is what she is most well known for. Ajack15 ( talk) 01:10, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
The only info about this is her ambassadorship for Tommy Hilfiger. Zendaya is widely known for her fashion and has appeared on numerous famous magazine covers and on many best-dressed lists. Why isn't any of this info in the article? Factfanatic1 ( talk) 06:23, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Please consider (just consider) switching main photo to Google search panel profile photo if available & possible by license. It has dark but uniform background and imho is really much better photo as profile one. Google has it locked internationally (probably on all language editions) as main photo shown in her search panel (quite interesting if this is their idea or it was submitted by her representative). Just an idea because this other photo from the same event that you discussed earlier about is possible best but background is bad actually and it is too dark. Current one on the other hand is not her best to be used here in my opinion. With all her styles it is hard to choose best but I think Google has the best one to represent.

The consensus is to use the 2019 photo ( File:Zendaya 2019 by Glenn Francis.jpg) or 2019a ( File:Zendaya - 2019 by Glenn Francis.jpg) photo. There is no prejudice against further discussion about which 2019 photo to use.
Should the 2018 photo be used or should the 2019 photo be used? The 2019 photo shouldn't be used just because it's more recent, there has to be a legitimate reason to use it or any other 2019 photo of Zendaya. I don't care either way, as long as a proper discussion is held, per policies, for an official consensus to form. Pinging involved editors: Toglenn, Mazewaxie, Krimuk2.0, Davey2010.

The only exception to that is former child actors – for them, if you can replace an image of the subject as a child with an image of the subject as a teen or adult, then that would justify using the "most recent" image even if the most recent image is "lower quality".This isn't the case here, as the 2018 photo is still Zendaya as an adult. Amaury • 16:03, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
Regarding the 2019 photo of Zendaya:
One of the things a photographer who specializes in photos of people tries to capture is the person’s personality or character.
The choice a woman makes when it comes to what to wear to the Red Carpet premiere of your movie is an extremely important and a very personal choice. The outfit one chooses is a good indicator of something about a person’s personality. The outfit Zendaya chose to wear helps identify the person she is beyond just what she looks like. The 2019 photo achieves that.
In addition to providing an image of what Zendaya looks like today, the 2019 photo is technically far superior to a low quality video screen grab that was copied from YouTube. My 2019 photo is hi-resolution (2.3MB) with a printable dpi of 300 whereas the low-res screen grab is not. Wikipedia is a very high-quality publication, and so should be the photos. The composition of this photo is also what Wikipedia prefers – a recent and pleasant Portrait style close-up of the person looking into the camera (not away from the camera). Also, this 2019 photo is the main photo on 60 Foreign language Wikipedia’s.
For those who are interested, here is Zendaya’s full outfit.
Thanks for everyone’s input and consideration. Glenn Francis ( talk) 00:52, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
So I went through my photos and found one that is exactly what everyone requested: a clean background (a big preference of mine) and a distinct separation of hair from the background - also a preference of mine.

I looked at a few different photos of Zendaya. I suspect there is something wrong with the 2019a photo (see above) used in the article. It looks to me that her skin has been artificially lightened to make her look racially white rather than brown. All other photos, even the 2019 photo above which is lighter than most, give her darker skin. If my suspicion is correct, the 2019a photo is unethical and should be replaced.

Hi. Before anymore edits are made to the filmography section, can we discuss exactly what should be written here first? I feel like starting a back and forth becomes disruptive. No films that don't have a confirmed release year/are not currently in principal photography should be placed in her filmography table. A White Lie, Finest Kind, the Ronnie Spector biopic: all of these have been announced, but there are no current updates on them. As for the music videos, just for consistency, they should be placed at the bottom. That's how it is on other actor's pages ( Thandiwe Newton and Issa Rae for example). She hasn't been making music for years, and hasn't been in a music video since 2017. Making her music videography the focal point of the section is nonsensical.
