What is Mia Khalifa's religious denomination?
I suppose she's either Maronite or Melkite. It would be nice if someone included this information in the article and added the article to the appropriate category. 213.109.230.96 (talk) 23:12, 17 January 2015 (UTC) -She's a non-practicing Catholic. Morbidthoughts (talk) 17:17, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
- There's more than one kind of Catholic. Maronites and some Melkites are Catholic. 213.109.230.96 (talk) 00:36, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- You go find a source that confirms it then. A non-practicing Catholic may not know. Morbidthoughts (talk) 07:45, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- Trust me, if she's Lebanese, she knows. In the Middle East religion is oft-intertwined with ethnicity and it's kind of a big deal. If I come across a source like that, I'll add it here. (To anyone interested in current Lebanese or Israeli affairs, read about this week's Miss Universe incident that has happened between these two countries' representitives.) 213.109.230.96 (talk) 00:51, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Veronica Vain
Another porn star who has recently become famous is Veronica Vain/Paige A. Jennings.[1][2][3][4][5] Someone might want to start on article on her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:6000:FD07:E900:2DB8:731F:4536:6F43 (talk) 13:20, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- You might want to bring this up at the Porn Project linked above. But Vain/Jennings is little more than a WP:1E media person because of her connection with a financial institution and her choice to go into Porn in a fairly public manner. No doubt in order to stir up interest in her career. I put a mention of her in Lexington Steele's article, but I don't see a need to start writing a BLP yet. She has not won any awards, let alone been nominated. Give it time. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 20:18, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

She is 22 now. Nathancoors (talk) 05:51, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Nathancoors: The template used in the infobox automatically updates the subject's age according to the date. As of right now, the age shown is 22. I suspect that you may have viewed the article before it became Feb. 10 and it therefore still said that she was 21.
- If you'd like more information about that template, it can be found at Template:Birth date and age. Dismas|(talk) 08:46, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Please add in the popular culture section that an iOS developer has even created a flappy-bird like game called Flappy Mia Khalifa on the App Store in homage to her. Here is the link : https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flappy-mia-khalifa/id965233099?ls=1&mt=8 VanNord (talk) 13:46, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- IMO, that edit should not be made. The game is not notable in and of itself. Also, there's no obvious tie in. It has her name but that's it. Dismas|(talk) 14:19, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
I disagree with your reasoning as you didnt check out the game properly. What do you mean that it has her name but there is no obvious tie ?? If you play the game , you can see that there is even the "Timeflies" song playing inside it. The game is just not popular yet but it is clearly dedicated to her in my opinion.
- Is there a reliable source that has covered this? If not, the information is irrelevant to this article. --Λeternus (talk) 08:51, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Real name
Mia's true name is "Sarah Joe Chamoun" and she used to study in one of Beirut's most prestigious schools before travelling to the US. See http://www.kataeb.org/en/news/details/434907/The+Truth+Behind+Mia+Khalifeh's+Identity — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.162.200.92 (talk) 17:54, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- I don't think the Lebanese Falange Party is a reliable source, especially as in their sources they have only listed themselves. If a Lebanese newspaper – preferably one with a weak/none political/religious editorial line – also carries this story, go with that as your source instead. '''tAD''' (talk) 18:31, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
Edit Warring by Jobas and Mia's Catholic identity
user:Jobas keeps on removing sourced content from the page. He has been warned on his talk page [6]. Mia chose to represent herself in a controversial role. She also self-identifies as a Catholic. Whether she is practicing or not does not take away from her identity. Due to the nature of her acts it is of vital importance to include her true religious identity. In one of her roles she referred to the religious practices of an other religion as "gross" and "problematic." It is therefore relevant to include her real religious perspectives. There are many non-religious figures figures, such as Salman Khan who have their religious identity on their Wikipedia page. Although Salman's name is Muslim, he refers to himself as both Muslim and Hindu, an identity that is controversial and rejected by many. It is however a relevant declaration from the personality and remains on his Wikipedia page.
Since Mia identifies as a Catholic it should be included. Also, her last-name and nationality may cause confusion to people, since Lebanon has a very small Catholic population (most Christians are Maronite) and the last-name "Khalifa" is taken from Caliphate which is Islamic. It is therefore very important to include that Mia is Catholic and stems from a Catholic background and does not have any connections with the Islamic religion or Christian-Maronite religion. Calm321 (talk) 22:31, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
- I think you having issue with this don't worry no one will think that mia is a muslim her relgious background already mentioned and included inside the article so the very very important information that mia is not a muslim and her "true religion" is catholic is mentioned and included even the article is also under category:Lebanese Catholic. your contributions in Arabic wikipedia that been refused in every time show that the main reason of pushing including her relgion in evey place in the article becouse you dont want people think she is a muslim. This Sentence from the article: Her family is Catholic and she was raised as a Catholic, although she is no longer practicing. it;s enough since her religious background has no role or influnce on her work or her controversial role. By the way the warn was by you. And by the way i been warned by you :) you should read more about The three-revert rule --Jobas (talk) 23:49, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
- Do not divert the issue. The issue is regarding sourced and relevant materials pertaining to her life. The fact that she may be non-practicing does not take away from her Catholic identity. She self-identifies as a Catholic. It is a relevant material to keep on the page. Calm321 (talk) 23:58, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
- I'm agreeing with Calm321. There's no reason to remove this information, especially because of the controversy she has caused. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 00:02, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- And how you decide that she may be non-practicing does not take away from her Catholic identity? in several interviews she mention that she is not practice so it;s mean nothing pushing the informtation about her religious background 5 times in the article it;s a porn star not a nun, and in Middle East where she grow up when you asked someone about his religion he answer his childhood religion, so her answer in twitter is not that evidence. any way this information included once, no reason to mention it five times becouse her carer do nothing with her religion.--Jobas (talk) 00:10, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Jobas: You do make a good point that it is a bit overmentioned, so Calm321, how about we remove the instance at the end of the lede? ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 02:13, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- user:Sturmgewehr88, What do you mean by the "end of the lede"? Calm321 (talk) 02:33, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- Yes its overmentioned, i think this part: In a twitter post from her official twitter account, Mia identifies as a Catholic. should be reovomed since its already been included that she raised a catholic, this part has no sense.--Jobas (talk) 09:16, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Calm321: sorry, it wasn't where I thought it was, but now another user has removed it nonetheless. Is this good enough for you Jobas? ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 17:14, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- Sure that was my point from the first place, her religious backgorund was a bit overmentioned, and now it much better since its already included her relgious backgorund no need to add and include more about it, in the end this figure is a porn star and her relgious background has a zero role or influnce on her work. the part that been removed has no sense just overmentioned.--Jobas (talk) 17:20, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Twitter as a secondary reference
A reference from Twitter is not needed if the same information can be gathered from a third-party reliable source like the BBC. Even if it is being used as a double-check, there are still countless other third-party reliable sources for this fact. I'm not saying this article is, but otherwise it would be possible to construct a whole biography only by taking people's Twitter communications. The fact that she is a Lebanese Catholic is in the public sphere and we shouldn't resort to Twitter when better sources exist. '''tAD''' (talk) 14:37, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
