Removal of Category: Youtubers from London ; Not a Youtuber. 62.74.24.175 (talk) 22:25, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

 Not done:: She is technically a YouTuber, see article. Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 23:49, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
Find me the respective section. Uploading songs on your own chanel doesn't make you a YouTuber. 62.74.24.175 (talk) 23:56, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
She technically uploaded covers of songs before her career. Editor00744 (talk) 13:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
I would tend to agree with 62.74.24.175. She has certainly been a YouTuber technically, but was this to an extent that warrants her presence in the category? Was/Is she notable as a YouTuber? I don't think so. That being said, I am not going to remove the category as I suppose inclusion criteria in the category should be discussed on the category TP.

Calling for her death

In the Political Views and Advocacy section it says: In November 2023, Israeli music duo Ness & Stilla released the single "Harbu Darbu", which called for Lipa's death. This statement is incorrect.

The lyrics of the song can be found here, and the relevant lines are:

(מח)בלה חדיד, דואה ליפה, מיה קאליפה כל כאלב ביג' יומו

Which translates roughly to:

Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, Mia Kalifa, Every dog has its day

The phrase "Every Dog has its day" is a phrase in arabic (roughly "Kul kaleb biji yomo") which has been adopted to Hebrew (not-translated) and has the opposite meaning to the phrase in English. It means every bad person eventually gets their punishment, "they will get what's coming for them". It's used colloquially in Hebrew and does NOT call for a person's death.

I would change the relevant sentence to: In November 2023, Israeli music duo Ness & Stilla released the single "Harbu Darbu", which mentions Dua Lipa as a person that will get their punishment".

I am open to other turns of phrase which do not mention the call for her death. 2600:1702:A20:17F0:219A:E56A:D7D2:4CE7 (talk) 01:32, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done You're right, though I will note that further changes to this will probably mean that a RfC is needed to settle it. M.Bitton (talk) 22:16, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
