Talk:Brit Smith

Merger proposal

I propose that Brittany Smith be merged into Matisse (singer). I think that the content in the Brittany Smith article can easily be explained in the context of Matisse (singer), and the Brittany Smith article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of Matisse (singer) will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.Alanl (talk) 10:31, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is unknown when this began, but the biographies of Brit Smith have been confused and mixed up with the biographies of an actress born in 1985 named Brittany Alyse Smith. This is most likely because they are both born in 1985 and have the same name. Childhood photos on Brit Smith's social media prove that she is not the same Brittany Alyse Smith who acted in the 90s in such films as Pinocchio's Revenge and A Goofy Movie. These are two separate women and because of the strange mixup, and the fact that Brittany Alyse Smith seems to have withdrawn from acting and having any sort of public presence, practically all info about the actress online actually belongs to Brit Smith, the singer formerly known as Matisse.

The information on here needs to be fixed and updated to reflect this fact. Stop reverting the info back to incorrect info. Brit Smith/Matisse is NOT Brittany Alyse Smith, the actress from the 90s. She needs to stop being mistaken as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.63.67.2 (talk) 00:14, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could you provide the other Brit Smith's IMDB, or their Facebook page? monkeysmashingkeyboards (talk) 00:16, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also have to apologize for the reverts - that's my bad. monkeysmashingkeyboards (talk) 00:16, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, there's no need to apologize at all but I appreciate you reaching out and wanting to correct things, or at least being open to the possibility that some info might be incorrect! Here is are two links to Brit Smith's Facebook page where she uploaded two photos of her from childhood.

I've tried my best to find any sort of social media presence from Brittany Alyse Smith, the 90s actress...but there seemingly is none (unless she has a different last name these days). Her IMDB page can be looked at though:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0807543/
You can see that she doesn't look like Brit Smith from the childhood photos she uploaded to her Facebook. 174.63.67.2 (talk) 00:23, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One more photo she uploaded of herself much younger. Again, it seems clear that she isn't Brittany Alyse Smith, the actress :/ 174.63.67.2 (talk) 00:28, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If(with no intent to attack or insult) the Brit Smith you're referring to isn't notable at all(by Wikipedia's guidelines), then the most face that people would think of when they think the name "Brit Smith" would be this article's subject.
If the Brit Smith you're referring to has enough coverage from news corporations to be notable, there would be an issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Your Brit Smith is not, sadly, the subject of this article, so there isn't a mixup. Cheers! monkeysmashingkeyboards (talk) 00:34, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Her birthday is on December 3, 1985.

Here is the proof her birthday is on December 3, 1985. Reliable source Rotten Tomatoes says it https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/brit_smith The location she is born is EXACTLY the same as the one given in this article.

And also this Instagram post. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5pocl9FRdG/?igsh=YzljYTk1ODg3Zg== Posted the day after She says that her birthday is clearly the day before indicating her birthday is December 3. The Rotten Tomatoes source is considered reliable so I'll use that one but here's proof her birthday isn't in September. 96.43.189.203 (talk) 15:42, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rotten Tomatoes' claim is almost certainly a wikipedia echo. RT is reliable for reviews of TV/Movies, not for biographical info. The instagram post only verifies the day and month; extrapolating to be her actual birthdate is synthesis. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 18:32, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can a fair use image be used as a picture on the article?

As of current there are no non fair use images of Brit Smith but I feel like a fair use image of her used on the article would help users and avoid confusion. I'm not going to put it as I was asking first if this can be done or if it breaks a rule. This0k (talk) 20:54, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
