"Over-went an overhaul" is one of many errors of syntax and grammar (and taste) in this article. It reads as if it were written by a 10-year-old. 173.77.71.234 (talk) 19:34, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

I wanna edit this article with some new information I have about him, he is my favorite artist by far and I know basically everything about him. Scarlet19267 (talk) 10:36, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
I know R. Kelly has committed many crimes but using his mugshot to represent him when referring to the weeknd's musical influences seems a bit off topic Nitrophos (talk) 18:30, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi. I think that Alternative R&B should be the lead genre in the Infobox instead of R&B. The LA times source in the lead states he "eschewed conventional R&B boundaries in favor of edgier productions", and the "Voice and musical style", mentioned as the supporting section for the matter, also gives a lengthy explanation on how he's known for not making "canonical R&B", but the alternative counterpart instead DollysOnMyMind (talk) 15:04, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello all,
I have seen on some pages related to The Weeknd that there are some sentences that contain “the Weeknd” (where the “t” is lowercase), but “The Weeknd” is a proper noun in this context. His alias isn’t just “Weeknd,” it contains “The” next to it. I was wondering if we need to capitalize all of the “the”s (such as on his main Wikipedia article as well as his songs like Die For You, where I have seen multiple “the Weeknd”s), or if it is not a big concern.

Should information about the leaked "Noise" EP that were demos Tesfaye "wrote as a teen to get recognition" via X be added? Here is the source: https://twitter.com/theweeknd/status/263753618484760577?t=1RYPZha3CnilfmorjZk5uQ&s=19 Asknaffffwiki (talk) 15:08, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
This article reads as though someone was paid to write it. It’s very complimentary towards Tesfaye seems like a list of “great things he’s done” or “great things about him.” E.g., there’s a list of seemingly every charitable donation he’s made, there’s a very long section on his hair, and his singing is described as “enticing” with no citation. 2601:1C2:500:1A20:927:B869:F044:15A8 (talk) 05:09, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
as of January 2023, The Weeknd made a collaboration with the 2017 video game Fortnite to add his skin into tthe game. It says nothing about this and it is February. 99.209.44.242 (talk) 15:59, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
Is this guy's middle name Makkonen or Makonnen? The disambiguation page Makkonen claims it's Makkonen while the disambiguation page Makonnen claims it's Makonnen. JIP | Talk 21:33, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
