Joshua Tillman → Josh TillmanJosh Tillman – links above FiccionesFicciones (talk) 18:45, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

• I mean, I'd much rather this be moved to Father John Misty, which seems much more like his common name over Joshua/Josh Tillman. Nohomersryan (talk) 01:32, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
  • Does that fit? Father John Misty is only his current name. He previously known as J. Tillman. He also was Fleet Foxes drummer. Josh Tillman is the only name he's commonly been referred to since the start of his career. Will Oldham is example. FiccionesFicciones (talk) 03:21, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
    • He commonly does go by Josh. He doesn't like using his full name because it is a reminder of his religious upbringing. I think it should be granted. As for changing it to Father John Misty, it is possible that he may "kill" that character soon, as he has mentioned in some recent interviews. Letsgetphysical5678 (talk) 04:35, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
      • I think that settles it. FiccionesFicciones (talk) 18:17, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Kendrick Lamar coincidences - noteworthy?

I'd like to propose a mention of the fact that this artist's albums have been released within days or weeks of Kendrick Lamar's (often surprise) releases. Is this noteworthy enough for the article? Sources:
