Page Requirements:

In response to the consensus that emerged during the May 2023 AfD nomination of this article, all new entries to this page must satisfy the below requirements in efforts to reduce the level of WP:FANCRUFT:

Every nickname must be supported by at least THREE high quality and reliable sources. Obscure or user-generated sources will not be accepted.
- Some examples of high quality and low quality sources can be found at WP:RSP.
At least one source should explicitly state "widely", "known as", "dubbed", "often called", or similar.
In addition, non-honorific nicknames and superlatives do not belong here.

Any entries that fail to satisfy these requirements will be reverted. Thank you for your understanding.

On 31 May 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to List of honorific nicknames in popular music. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Please add Franzl Lang and his title, the "Yodel King" (or "Jodlerkönig" in German). The Wikipedia article about Franzl Lang already lists his title. I have also added two German news articles where "Jodlerkönig" is mentioned.

Nicki minaj

Nicki Minaj has been called the queen of Rap for over a decade so I absolutely think she should be added to the table 82.41.1.244 (talk) 18:48, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She is already included as the Queen of Rap, alongside Elliott. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 19:11, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aya Nakamura as "Reine de France" (Queen of France)

Please add Aya Nakamura in Individual titles section as Reine de France (Queen of France) Many Internet users (on "X", for example), newspapers (like Konbini) and her fanbase call Aya Nakamura "La Reine de France" (Queen of France). Sources

More sources after the Summer Olympic ceremony

JO PARIS 2024 - Ses fans l’appellent « la Reine de France ». La chanteuse franco malienne de 29 ans Aya Nakamura a enchanté le public à l’international en chantant lors de la cérémonie d’ouverture des JO 2024 ce vendredi 26 juillet, alors que les rumeurs sur sa participation allaient bon train depuis des mois.

Edit request for w:Lady Gaga

Kindly add the sobriquet "Monster Monster" to w:Lady Gaga, I believe this title befits an honorific description as it is supported by following sources:

"The Performance Identities of Lady Gaga: Critical Essays" by Richard J. Gray II discusses the origin of the title Mother Monster on page 125
An article on Billboard calling her as such, citing her performance on the Opening Ceremony of 2024 Paris Olympics
Her profile on Grammys website

... and numerous other sources -J.avanzado (talk) 09:44, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This still does not meet requirement 3: mother "monster" is a nickname, not a honorific nickname. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 17:40, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's at least one article that explicitly states "Mother Monster" as an honorific title for Gaga. Also in the book The Oxford Handbook of the Bible and American Popular Culture by Dan W. Clanton Jr et. al., the authors used the phrasing "referred to as Mother Monster" which is contextually similar to the usage of the terms "widely", "dubbed" or "often called" which is one of the requirements for inclusion of such title. As a point of contention it would be wise to discuss why you believe the title "Mother Monster" is just a nickname and not an honorific title bestowed to her by media and her fans. -J.avanzado (talk) 04:33, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Mother Monster" doesn’t carry the same honorific weight as titles like "Queen of Pop", which Gaga is already listed for in this article. To be honest, even her Wikipedia article writes Gaga's fans call her "Mother Monster", and she often refers to them as "Little Monsters", which tells me that this nickname isn't used much outside her fandom. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 22:01, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
