Article information only

First I hope that Julie's interests work out and that her sister and her husband can resolve their differences. But Julie needs to call Delilah! Not wiki her! Also I have patched up the article significantly. If it still needs improvement, please do whatever is necessery to do that. --StevenL 02:34, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

Call Delilah...don't make your requests here! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Branigan22 (talk • contribs) 08:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC).

KBIG

I have a question here, and no I don't need any requests.

This article says that Delilah is airing a live show on KBIG, entirely different from the syndicated program. Is this true, or is it just a modified version of the hot AC version? I'm wondering because the two shows overlap two hours time, and there are several syndicated versions.JMyrleFuller 12:48, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Article

Currently this article is dominated by the radio show info, which though is what makes her notable tends to give undue weight to a portion of her life. More personal info is needed, and much of the other info needs to be moved to an article on the radio program (if the program passes WP:NOTE). Aboutmovies (talk) 04:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Quite frankly, the radio show is what she is almost exclusively known for (pardon the preposition at the end of the sentence). It's listed under her name since there is already an unrelated story at the Delilah article. JMyrleFuller (talk) 14:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Children

Her official bio on the point hope website says seven of her ten children are adopted, not eight. I made the change in the article - but noticed after I made them that I wasn't logged in. Pixiestix (talk) 20:44, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Contradictory info; issues overall

Firstly, in the personal section there is contradictory information marital status, which needs to get fixed. However, this article in general is poor; it's mainly focused on PR-style material (I wouldn't be surprised if this article's seen a few biased edits by Delilah fans or reps, but don't construe that as an accusation), it's poorly sourced, and it has little focus.

Line 49 was poorly sourced, violated NPOV twice, and highly selectively quoted the original web source upon which it was based. Thus, it was not deserving of the space or attention it received (undue weight). I removed it.

Real Name?

The article includes a (not real name) however she's introduced in the article as Delilah. If Delilah was a stage name usually wikipedia articles would list her real name.

Any reason for not using her real name or is her real name used with an incorrect (not real name)?Woods01 (talk) 08:07, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Delilah Rene → Delilah (radio personality) – or Delilah (radio host), though the former phrase seems more common on Misplaced Pages in general. Although natural disambiguation is generally a good idea, it's not usually applied to mononymous people. See Talk:Madonna (entertainer)#Requested move (May 2013) for a recent example of this. Checking the low hits from "delilah rene" -wikipedia confirms that this is not her WP:COMMONNAME. --Relisted. — Amakuru (talk) 10:45, 21 October 2013 (UTC) BDD (talk) 19:51, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Oppose Delilah (radio personality), neutral on Delilah (radio host). "Personality" is nearly as bad a disambiguator as "entertainer" is, so moving to a version of that would be a step in the wrong direction. While I agree that she's not most commonly known as "Delilah Rene", avoiding artificial disambiguation for people is useful, so I don't have a strong preference on the "radio host" disambiguator. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 20:45, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
Oppose Delilah (radio personality), neutral on Delilah (radio host). pretty much verbatim as 168.12.253.66. I don't think she's really in the Madonna category either as she has used both maiden and married names in some talk shows. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:03, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
Oppose - Surname is fine as is. Regardless of sources, why must everybody call a lesser-known radio host/personality simply "Delilah" is beyond me. Maybe we can ignore WP:COMMONNAMES and WP:NCP in favor of common sense? There is Delilah (musician), a more notable figure. --George Ho (talk) 17:05, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
