Someone attempted to change the image to [[:File:Kiesza2014.jpg]] which was reverted when another editor felt it wasn't best. I actually think [[:File:Kiesza2014.jpg]] is a fine image to use for the infobox. My only problem with it, is that it's probably a copyvio (I nominated it for deletion on Commons). Anyways, I just want to ask anyone trying to get a new/better image here to please discuss it here. This is the second (or same) editor to make changes without any explanation, and to have them promptly undone. Please talk with us, and we can work together. Thanks. --[[User:Thivierr|Rob]] ([[User talk:Thivierr|talk]]) 20:44, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

:IMHO The above image seems more "albumish" whereas the current one's more "real" ..... But I have no problem if anyone wants it changed again.

Current Location

There is only one source that says she is based in London. Multiple say she is in New York, including the most recent one, which is dated March 20, 2014 [1]. There's also [2] [3] [4] and more confirming New York City. The Irish Times is the only source to say she is based in London. Kiesza has performed in London, but there's no basis for saying she was based there. Combine this with the fact that numerous sources give a detailed history of her life in the US (first Boston, than New York), and very little of her doing stuff in the UK. The one thing she's noted for doing in London, was playing on Canada Day. --Rob (talk) 17:21, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I now see another London source, so for the moment, I've mentioned both. --Rob (talk) 21:38, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Last name

An incorrect last name (Szosi) was included and sourced to the Irish Times. All other sources go by only the name "Kiesza". It's likely Szosi may have at some point been used (e.g. a joke), but isn't her true last name, and isn't normally or officially used as a stage name. Per WP:BLP the onus of proof is on whoever wishes to include the information. A single source isn't sufficient. I could have added inline citations for the first name, but that would mean citing all ten sources, which I think is overkill. --Rob (talk) 17:55, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are several sources which confirm the last name. The Irish Times is the only independent source.--Launchballer 18:04, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's because she has used it periodically in the past. The problem is, she's not using it now, the vast bulk of reliable sources don't use it. And, it's not her legal name. If it's mentioned, it has to be clear what it is (an alternate stage name, not a real name), but there aren't sufficient reliable sources to explain what it is. Using a name for fun on YouTube or other social media doesn't count for anything. Anyways, I'm not against mentioning "Szosi" per se, but just don't like to imply this is an actual legal name. --Rob (talk) 18:29, 21 March 2014 (UTC) Incidently, this gives the proper name, but it can't be used, since it's not a reliable source either. --Rob (talk) 06:25, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
