Talk:David Archuleta

Missionary choir participation

I recently added the text to the article regarding Archuleta's participation in the MTC Choir during the annual General Conference of his church, but my edit was reverted (see diff). I believe this event to be notable and ask that the community restore the content. It's very rare to learn of missionary activities during their service due to the secluded nature of their work, and this occurrence received widespread coverage, including Disney Dreaming and Deseret News.

WP:NOTNEWSPAPER applies here, especially points 2 and 4. Wikipedia is not and should not be an ongoing newsfeed of Archuleta's activities. Where he has been reportedly assigned, and when he began his missionary service, is notable; that he in six months baptizes three people or meets random fans in the market on a day off, something then reported on TMZ or JustJared, is not.

Interesting point. I would say that since Archuleta is a singer, the switch to choir belongs in the article. I think NOTNEWSPAPER should be interpreted to mean, no items that stray from the notability that merited the article. "Archuleta rides in parade at Miley Cyrus's Disneyland Sweet Sixteen," "Archuleta visits boyhood home, signs autographs," would be out. "Archuleta transitions to Mormon religious music," would go in. Going all the way back, Little Richard turned, for a while, to singing gospel when his version of rock went stale. So did Joe Tex, though it was Islamic family values that inspired some of the late songs. This may be a similar turning point. If it's music, it's part of Archuleta's career arc, and belongs in. IMHO. Profhum (talk) 19:14, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Sexual orientation?

No word about David Archuleta's sexual orientation in the article. Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.204.96.74 (talk) 07:09, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Does David discuss his sexual orientation? Does reliable sources discuss his sexual orientation? If you can't answer yes to both of those questions it doesn't belong in the article. GB fan 10:13, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Actually only your second point is valid. That Archuleta does not talk about his private life *publicly* is of no consequence at all. The *only* issue is a reliable source. 2601:8:9180:604:219:D1FF:FEA8:25F0 (talk) 03:58, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
