I added a few more typical headings, but this article is super bloated, especially given she's an artist with only 8 years of career. To have a legacy section is just a bit outrageous. I am not NOT a fan, but this page is just in dire need to trimming and clenaup. She's got a new release but even that information is buried under the deluge of nonsense on this page. The volume is in the way of actually conveying information. If she was someone with a 20 or 30 year career it would be one thing, but egads. I mean, 294 citations, and not all of them crucial / the highlights. 1940CStreet (talk) 22:44, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Be bold then. (I do agree the legacy section is ridiculous. Give it another 10 years.)Trillfendi (talk) 23:02, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I am going to work on trimming this thing down. Too many extraneous details, plus a notable overabundance of references that repeat the same information. I will start working on making this a bit more palatable and less bloated with trivial information. --Drown Soda (talk) 01:49, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If there are sources supporting a legacy, I don't know why the length of her career should be a reason to remove all of that. Sure there are some pieces of the article that can go, but I wouldn't say that part. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 02:06, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I’m putting an overly detailed tag. Trillfendi (talk) 14:37, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed some of the occupations that were stated in the introduction and in the infobox. In my opinion this should state as clearly as possible what the person does. I think it's safe to say that everybody would primarily consider Lana del Rey as a singer and a songwriter first and foremost. I really think it would be misleading if her page stated otherwise.This should not be a list of all her abilities, but rather the one in which she invested herself consistently and for which she has gain recognition.

I am well aware that she has directed a lot of her own music videos and that she also has directed some shorts. Yet, I think calling her a director doesn't make much sense. There is a difference between doing and being, and so, yeah, she did act as director on a couple of her shoots, but this is in direct relation to her craft as a singer-songwriter and her brand development. Saying she is a director is an exaggeration in my opinion and I couldn't find in the media anything either praising or critical of her work as a director. It has nothing to do with the level of talent she may holds or not for the medium of cinema. Simply put, at this particular time she doesn't hold the credentials to be recognized as a director and I really don't think, she, herself, would describe herself to be a director

Also, I don't think record producer applies here, for roughly the same reasons. If she were producing for people other than herself, yes. But producinng herself is a natural extension of her occupation as a singer and doesn't constitute a whole different body of work for which she has gained recognition. She a also is not an actress an has never been publicly recognized. All that she did on film is merely a representation of herself or characters very much into the realm of her singer persona. Nor is she a model. Being an egeria for a brand, the face of some products is a different thing than modeling. Having your picture taken doesnt't make you a model. When she re represents a brand, she represents it as the singer Lana del Rey. Finally, I'm aware, she is about to to drop some poetry collections. Since this has not happened yet, calling her poet is prematured. Also, even when that is released, I really don't think she should be described as a poet unless she pursues that path with successives publications and gains recognitions in the literary fields. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexandrelussier (talk • contribs) 02:54, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just removed "poet" once more from occupations in the info-box. Don't revert this unless you can provide sources stating she is regarded as a poet in her own right with some sort of consensus, that she is actively pursuing poetry and has published collections of poems (preferably more than one) for which she has gained recogition. Ideally those would be sources from publications that have authority in the field of literature. If you can prove it, submit the sources you have to support that claim on the talk page first, so it can be discussed before a change is made.AleXMetz^{❯❯❯Reach me!} 21:57, 18 November 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexandrelussier (talk • contribs) [reply]

Since this section is so long, a separate page would be the best for all the details. I believe it's best to slowly start removing information to make this sense dense and incorporate it on the page Career of Lana Del Rey.--Ottamieh (talk) 04:01, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On the contrary, I really think the page "Career of Lana Del Rey" should be deleted and whatever relevant information on it that are not already on the main page "Lana Del Rey"XX could be added to it. Having a page about her career is just redundant and it has no distinct purpose than the main page. What is the distinction between the two ? She's on Wikipedia because of her career, that is already what this page is about. Also, there is no limit to the length of pages; this is simply not a thing, as long as the information is relevant. In fact, the page is well organized and nicely presented and if the information is divided in different sections thoughtfully planned, it is a good thing not a bad one to be able to find the core of the information on the same page. Of course, there are some reasons for which it is justified to create satellite pages. Pages focusing on an album or a single or a tour are obviously very useful. Specific pages on discography or videography or list of awards are also totally justified. A page on her career though is really not helpful, in my opinion it even makes thing more complicated and the risk of contradiction between the two pages would be really high. It's best if everybody contribute to the same page in order to create some sort of consensus and with good team work achieve something very polished instead of dividing our efforts. It would be ok to have a second page if she had a career a totally distinct field, if she also was a renown scientist or an elected politician, then a second page on that topic would be ok, but this does not apply here. I don't know what other contributors think, but for my part, I'd argue that the page "Career of Lana Del Rey should be deletedAleXMetz^{❯❯❯Reach me!} 09:44, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hence why I put the overly detailed tag. Hack this thing down to a half and maybe we’ll get a Good™ article out of it. But frankly put, Lana is not yet on the calibre of artists who need separate pages for different aspects of their life. She’s got a long way to go for that.

Does Ms. Del Rey believe that the .org domain should be sold to the highest bidder? EllenCT (talk) 03:58, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@EllenCT: What are you talking about? --Drown Soda (talk) 21:33, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this photo (recently uploaded to the Commons) would make a great, newer infobox photo. Thoughts? --Drown Soda (talk) 21:26, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
