Michele's bullying accusation

ancestry

her father is of Spanish-Sephardic Jewish ancestry sepharadic means "arab jew" and so it's from the "maghreb". There is no sepharadic jews in Spain but rather they come from the maghreb (tunisia, algeria, and morocco) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.97.198.50 (talk) 14:57, 3 March 2014 (UTC) Her second surname Sarfati is a Moroccan Jewish surname so her father is from MOROCCO. Doesn't Sephardic mean from Spain? --85.181.230.77 (talk) 09:56, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

'Sephardic Jews' can also be from Portugal. 'Spanish-Sephardic' is simply more specific. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.67.44.132 (talk) 05:22, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

"Sephardic" is from the Hebrew word, "Sefarad," which means "Spain." Sephardic Jews are those who originally were of Spanish ancestry but were expelled from Spain in 1492 by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, "Los Reyes Catolicos," and shortly afterwards from Portugal. Most ended up fleeing to Northern Africa, the Netherlands, and the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). Many who escaped to the New World were burned at the stake, as the Inquisition set up shop in Mexico City and other places.

BTW, because her MOTHER is not Jewish, Ms. Michele is not a Jew, under Jewish law. She may undergo a conversion under Jewish law and become a Jew, as can any non-Jew.76.255.108.107 (talk) 04:53, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

She's not of Spanish ancestry, unless you think the fact her ancestors may have lived in Spain 500 years ago makes her Spanish. You shouldn't assume that a site called "Jvibe" is accurate. Also Sephardic Jews aren't Spaniards who practiced Judaism, they're Jews who lived in Spain.184.59.7.32 (talk)

Technically, Sefardi means Iberian, but I think Spanish is an over specification, as there were little differences between various Iberian communities prior to the Expulsion of 1492. However, in this case it might mean that her father is actually from Spain, which is rare for most Sefardim today. Just like most Ashkenasim are not from Germany anymore (Ashkenas = Germany in Hebrew) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.144.26.242 (talk) 20:24, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Loreal True match Ad says she's Turkish too, kinda makes more sense now. Also I deleted the "Hispanic/latino actress/singer" category, I don't see any evidence that she was ever considered one. Anyone has evidence supporting this?--76.213.236.108 (talk) 15:31, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Religion

Lea Michele was raised a Jew by her father and a catholic by her mother (she experienced both religions). Should we also add her to the category of American Roman Catholics?74.167.245.190 (talk) 19:56, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

  • No, because there is no sourcing for the claim that she's a Catholic. If there's reliable sourcing for such a claim, fine; if not, we should recall that "raised by one or more Catholic parents" =/= "Catholic." - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 17:30, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
No, because who's to say she's a Catholic or Jew now?

Relevance of tattoos and cats

I fail to see the encyclopedic value of including information about tattoos and cats. Just because "data" is sourcable to a reliable source doesnt mean that it should be included in an article. Active Banana ( 14:44, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree its not encyclopedic and more suited to a fanpage.--SabreBD (talk) 14:58, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Mistake on page!!!!!!

Under Lea's film and television credits it says that lea is in glee from 2009 to 2012, however co-creator Brad Falchuk revealed at comic con 2011 that season 3 would infact not be Lea's last season, i include a link to a video which show glee co-creator brad falchuk clearly state that lea would not leave glee after season 3 and there fore she will be in glee till after 2012

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSyAbCagsjY&feature=player_embedded (start watching the video 2 mins 49 seconds into the video and brad makes it clear that lea will not be leaving glee as previously reported)

I therefore propose that in lea's tv credits the year for glee should be changed from '2009 - 2012' to '2009 - ' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hahjafhkjfhkj (talkcontribs) 00:52, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, the credits should not have an end date until it actually happens and done now Jnorton7558 (talk) 01:53, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Spanish?

Shouldn't she be Spanish-American too? Jewish people need to decide whether it's a religion or an ethnicity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.222.238.38 (talk) 22:55, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

No, she's not Spanish. While Sefardi (Iberian) Jews lived in Spain for over millenium and a half, that all ended in 1492, when they were expelled from Spain. Since which time few if any Jews lived there. Also, her fathers last name means French (in Hebrew) which implies that his ansestors came to Spain from France (or more likely Provance). On the issue of Jewish identity, we decided a long time ago, that we are a people. As such, while we do have a national religion, it is not practiced by everyone. There are Jews practicing most other religions without losing their status as such. Unlike other nations, we consider being born to a Jewish mother to be a minimum requirement for natural membership. Someone not born Jewish can join by converting to the national religion. 216.144.26.242 (talk) 20:16, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
No. In this case Spanish is a Nationality/country of origin of her father, not an ethnicity since Sephardi is considered a different ethnicity from that of Spanish. Would the Jews that escaped from the Nazis be German-Americans even though that's the country/nationality they came from?--Anen87 (talk) 00:09, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
So I would think that the category for 'Americans of Spanish descent' should be removed. The only thing the links that are purported to support this assertion say is that her father is of Sephardic Jew descent. Not Spanish. Depor23 (talk) 07:07, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Personal Life

It's well-documented that Lea Michele dated Theo Stockman. They appeared in public several times and she acknowledged the relationship in several magazine interviews. She also made a statement that the relationship had ended in September 2011. Misplaced Pages regularly publishes this type of information about other celebrities... perhaps it would be relevant to some readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.241.72.196 (talk) 05:50, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

In the information box it was decided Cory Monteith was not a partner to be include in that box so therefore I do not see why five years after his death and Lea having two long term relationships after him why he is still included in her personal life section. If she married will it still warrant one old boyfriend in that section? If it had been a non famous BF to pass away would he be included doubtful. I propose Cory mentions fit better within her music section and the two songs written for him. Sorry I probably did this wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Attmcb (talkcontribs) 00:43, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Public Image

The quality of the writing here is at times, in my opinion, low and biased. It reads like it is straight from Lea's publicist along with a bunch of selected citations to support the claims. For instance, "She is known to take fashion risks at public events, and, in the past, has been made fun of because of her ability to pose on the red carpet."

This article is an example of why many say that Misplaced Pages has some issues. It's a great site but this article reads like press material instead of a neutral look at the many great contributions and artistic achievements Lea Michele has achieved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.237.238.124 (talk) 06:01, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Again she is now married. There is no reason to continue to mention Cory in her personal life because he is not part of her personal life. There are other places he can be mentioned in relation to her. Her old house use to be in the personal life box but when she got a new house we did not keep that info on wiki so why have just this one relationship that ended almost 6 years ago? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Attmcb (talkcontribs) 07:30, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Again, this article is not about the present day. If it were, we would remove her tenure on Glee! (which ended years ago) and delete our articles on World War II {which has been over for, like, decades).
This article is about Michele, covering important aspects of her life, personal and professional. Primarily, we judge how important something is to a topic by how much coverage it receives in independent reliable sources. Yeah, relationships begin and end. Some of them are of comparatively trivial importance to a topic. Others are a meaningful piece of their story.
That the relationship is not part of her personal life today is not relevant. Using your criteria, we would remove most of the article, deleting shows as they end and removing people who die or are no longer part of her life. This is an encyclopedia where we record the past and (to a limited extent) the present. Magazines and newspapers are focused on the present. Misplaced Pages is not a newspaper or magazine. - SummerPhD 16:51, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

But who are we to decided which were the important readerships and which ones were not? She actually lived with Theo Stockman and Matthew Peatz but they have been randomly determine not to be important to her story. Cory still had a house with friends so it was not at the same level at lea tin that respect as two other relationships.

We've been through this. Repeatedly. The last advice on your talk page still stands: "Over the course of a year and a half, you have removed the section 6 times. You've been reverted 6 times by multiple editors. It is time to either drop it or take the issue to an appropriate venue." - SummerPhD 12:38, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Main Photo

Please update the main photo for this article. Right now, it's from over a year ago. It would be so much more relevant for readers to see a recent photo of Lea for the main photo. This link will take you to a photo of Lea that she posted on her Twitter at the 2011 Emmy Awards on September 18, 2011 - http://twitter.com/#!/msleamichele/media/slideshow?url=http%3A%2F%2Fyfrog.com%2Fh3k2bzxj Please take this into consideration. I think it's important for the main photo to be recent — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tedroxie0222 (talkcontribs) 15:48, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Cory Monteith

The information "| partner = Cory Monteith (2012-2013; his death)" keeps being removed from Michele's Infobox. It was removed, reverted and then reverted again which means the issue comes to the Talk Page to be decided. So the question is was Monteith considered Michele's "partner" (meaning a committed relationship) or did they casually date? I'm sure that Michele's fans have a better idea of the state of the relationship than I do, so please weigh in. This delete also seems to be going on on the Cory Monteith article. Liz 20:00, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

You make it sound like I am censoring the article. I am not. The infobox guidelines clearly states: "For unmarried life partners". The article does not state that they did anything more than dating. Nymf (talk) 20:52, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
I haven't seen any reliable source that states that the two had reached the stage of becoming life partners. Absent such a source—which should be included in the article, if found—I don't see that the infobox can be justifiably include this field. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:42, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Recently on ellen, she discussed her relationship with Cdory. Not sure if this is a "reliable source", but it is certainly worth noting. Bojo1498 (talk) 22:08, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Song in animated movie

I think that her song was great. Include somewhere? See the publication. My very best wishes (talk) 04:20, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Deactivated twitter account

I the aftermath of the disappearance of Naya Rivera, Lea deactivated her twitter account due to harassment and trolling. If it was considered relevant enough to be reported on Naya's article, would it be relevant enough to be reported here as part of the controversy around her?

"Mistreatment of fellow cast members and allegations of racism"

First of all, no one accused her of being a racist, not even Samantha. I quote her own words: "Am I calling Lea a racist? No."

The word 'controversy' would be somewhat more convenient as a title.

It would be good if you don't give people bad information.

Literacy

@Parispv: The rumor/conspiracy about Michele's literacy is widely discussion and well sourced, including her making a statement on the situation in the NYT in addition to WP:BUZZFEEDNEWS and WP:RSPDEADLINE covering the topic. It is well deserving of inclusion in the article and is far from "Totally irrelevant". Cerebral726 (talk) 12:42, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

@Parispv:, I also think their should be subheadings in the personal life section for clarity (especially if the literacy rumor is to be added). Please explain your reasoning for removing them.--Cerebral726 (talk) 19:26, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

@Parispv:, you cannot unilaterally removed well cited content without engaging in a conversation on the talk page, see WP:STONEWALL. None of your reasoning has justified removal of the addition on literacy.--Cerebral726 (talk) 20:10, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Photo choice

Since it has been switched around recently I wanted to start a discussion. The two options that are not clear copyright violations are on the right. Relevant pings: Parispv Wiki-nPhoenix

Option A from 2015
Option B from 2022
  • Option A is my vote. While Option B is much more recent, her appearance has not changed significantly in the last 7 years. Option B is not as flat, focused (shallow depth of field for artistic photos aren't as useful in an encyclopedic context), or well lit a photo for the intended purpose.
