[edit] Why is this archived?

• There's seriously only like 4 to 6 topics on the talk page. That's hardly enough to warrant archiving. Anyway, this article does feel a bit biased. unsigned comment was added by 70.225.169.226 (talk •contribs)

• Anyone know why there isn't article about Yanni in gree Wiki? Greeks don't like him? unsigned comment was added by 91.153.113.130 (talk •contribs)
  • Does anyone like him? 222.155.158.171 08:08, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Yannibook.jpg

Image:Yannibook.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The Music God Yanni.... 203.99.212.224 11:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)Being a ardent Yanni fan, i was facinated by this wiki page. Done some modifications required in his name spells. enjoy the Devine music of Yanni...

I updated the fair use rationale, although I think a better picture would be nice. Sanjayhari 07:45, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arrest?

Didn't Yanni get arrested for domestic battery? Should that be in the article? Sanjayhari 02:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

No because it is trivial event in his life with no charges filed, and because this is an encyclopedia and not a tabloid. ♫ Cricket02 03:10, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

True, but Yanni was arrested, just like Mel Gibson; check out his own wiki. I guess I'm not sure as to what constitutes gossip and relevant information. Also, Yanni's mugshot is in the public domain and could be used in the currently-photoless wiki. Sanjayhari 07:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Please...don't even go there. There is no comparison to Mel Gibson. And I suppose if you were a notable person and had an encyclopedic article, you would certainly want your mugshot used to depict yourself? ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 18:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree. The encyclopedia entry should attempt to chronicle all the note-worthy incidents in the artist's life - good or otherwise. per WP:NEU OlkhichaAppa (talk) 06:50, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

How is No charges filed and released the next day even come close to a noteworthy event in a comprehensive encyclopedic Biography of a Living Person? ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 18:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Per WP:BLP: Biographies of living persons (BLPs) must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. Period. ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 18:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure he'd want to put it behind him.Sposato (talk) 01:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yanni's Legal Name

This information is sourced based on a news article vs. public records. Furthermore, the Wikipedia guidelines ask for caution in revealing personal information that could be potentially harmful or disruptive. Yanni's legal name - if it truly is his legal name - should not be included in the article.Bonj100 (talk) 21:02, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Agree. ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 21:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IPA pronunciation

Could somebody add the IPA pronunciation to the article? (an ogg with a his name pronounced would be good) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Equinoxe (talk • contribs) 17:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
