[edit] Discussion

This is just copy-paste from the Antony and the Johnsons page, or the other way round. Either way, it is redundant.

I've added a merge request, and if there's no objections then I'll make this page a redirect to Antony and the Johnsons. Durnar 16:31, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Perhads instead of merging the articles it would be more appropriate to request a reworking of this page by someone with expertise on the artist. I admit that the page is currently inadequate, and if there is truly nothing to add then a merge between the two articles would be appropriate. Kikkoman 07:01, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe these two articles should be merged. This is obviously a cut and paste job, but they need two different articles. The band and the person are two different things. I strongly oppose any merge. Codu talk contribs email 13:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Points in article

"He was looking to release his new untitled album on 31st September, however, due to unforseen circumstances, this is not possible." Um....and it's not possible.....why???? If you don't have sources, or the whole story, why would you put it in an article?

Also, there are two statements in there saying "It is rumoured......." Well, until rumor becomes FACT, it should NOT be in this encyclopedia article.

Thanks. NickBurns 13:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gay/Transgender

This article says that he is openly gay, but the page for his band "Antony and the Johnsons" says that he is transgender. Gay and transgender are obviously not the same, does anyone know which one is right? Arcticwoman 20:57, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are you sure about this?

Is anyone else confused by this line? "Contrary to popular reports, Antony does in fact not have a penis."

"Popular reports" say that Antony is transgendered. That doesn't mean he doesn't have a penis and I have never heard anything saying that this was true. Please site some sources. Unless you looked under his skirt, how are you proving that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.70.254.114 (talk) 00:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC).
