Eminem's kid

The page refers to his "three daughters", and one of his children identifies as genderfluid/non-binary. This should be updated. 2603:8000:6D00:413:3190:4959:2C5D:29B7 (talk) 16:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

do you have a source? Babysharkboss2 was here!! 13:16, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

To be clear, the section in question that makes this mistake is the 'Notes' section. BlueRose710 (talk) 17:15, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
User:FMSky please see this discussion as per the reason for returning to the gender neutral language of 'children' instead of daughters. Thanks --ImGz (t/c) 18:42, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
Hadn't seen it, my bad --FMSky (talk) 18:45, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

In the other names, it could be beneficial to mention Cinderella Man, a self given nickname from the song Cinderella Man on his album Recovery, he also has the self given nickname Rap God (from the song Rap God on the Marshall Mathers LP 2). The real 9-VoltYT (talk) 08:31, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

is he only called those names in those two songs? if so, I wouldn't consider it notable. Rainsage (talk) 22:47, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

I Wish to Edit Eminem's Page because his year of birth was stated incorrectly Thecoolestdude2 (talk) 04:10, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: The birthday listed is backed up by reliable sources. cyberdog958 10:07, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Age

Please update age of Eminem as 52 on October 17, 2024 2605:B100:708:AF03:4C6D:B164:2E9B:490C (talk) 08:50, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

It happens automatically because of Template:birth date and age. Binksternet (talk) 12:49, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Fortnite.

I have looked over the article, but nowhere I have seen has mentioned Eminem ( Marshal Bruce Mathers III ) being in Fortnite. I believe we should add this. I may have just missed it, And if so, I apologise for the waste of time. Josh.D.Mullins (talk) 10:41, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Please change "committed suicide" to "died by suicide" AnneMarieWellsWriter (talk) 21:15, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Both wordings are fine. There's not one thats preferred --FMSky (talk) 21:20, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

put best albums on a page

list what albums are most listened to or his personal favorite 40.133.106.26 (talk) 22:13, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Add new "tour" section

Since Em has done now like 2-3 shows, I think it should have it's own dedicated page as well as mentioned in the "Tours" section. While it isn't defined as a tour, the shows he has done and scheduled for may as well be considered as a tour. AustinVD (talk) 07:49, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
