@MarksmanRifle: you've already violated 3RR, which you were warned about, and now you're edit-warring about the spelling of the subject's last name, despite the sources in the article proving you are incorrect. Please discuss. Seasider53 (talk) 18:52, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Seasider53 Her name is confirmed to be Haliey Welch, which has been subject to some dispute from different editors. However, this is her name, as her own websites and social media accounts confirm this in addition to these references. [1] [2] [3] I think that changing the good faith vandalism back shouldn't constitute as edit warring, as the edits made by @MarksmanRifle were simply just justified as 'Google said it's spelled this way' despite Welch saying herself that it's the contrary. I was simply removing content that was poorly sourced. Should my previous edit be reimplemented, I will add these references to prove her name, which has been controversial among other editors.

I tried to add this information about her and the animal shelter, but I was unable to do so, as I encountered an error that said an automated filter prevented me from adding it:

On July 12, 2024, she posted a video that showed her purchasing various animal care products from a PetSmart store and donating them to an animal shelter that was nearby with the song "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton playing in the background. In the video, she also showed a dog named "Blondie" that was in the shelter for 130 days, saying that the dog needed to be adopted.^[1][2] After the video was released to the public, Rolling Stone called her a "charming Gen Z Dolly Parton."^[3] Teal Lobster (talk) 16:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This should be the title to the article. Something more nice and respectful.

Profanity and pejorative terminology ..Hawk Tuah Girl Now that Haliey Welch is famous .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Lewinsky

in comparison Monica_Lewinsky is just Monica_Lewinsky.. and not the .......... Wikipedia is not censored. Yes, profanity is found on Wikipedia sometimes. But it is only used in articles when it is really appropriate. For example, profanity is found in articles about the words themselves, in titles containing those words, and in quotations. But Wikipedia's neutrality guidelines prohibit the use of profanity as a method of labeling a subject or namecalling. A more neutral term should be substituted in these situations.

Haliey ... "My mom a crack head you don't want her ... I'm a crack baby"

OK, so she's known for a catch phrase. Is this really enough to guarantee a person an entry on Wikipedia? Her 15 minutes of fame was up before the Olympics. Right now Raygun's in the spotlight. At least she's got more a bit more to her than Welch. 13Sundin (talk) 14:58, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article was previously nominated for deletion, with a consensus to keep. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haliey Welch. 162 etc. (talk) 15:09, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can we please explain what she is famous for a bit better in the article? The only part of this article outside the led which explains her notoriety is as follows:

During the video, she was asked a series of not-safe-for-work questions including, "What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?" Welch's reply, using her Southern accent, was, "You gotta give 'em that 'hawk tuah' and spit on that thang."

Previously the article explained what "Hawk" and "Tuah" meant as well as the "act" which Welch was referring to (please don't make me write it here).

Most of this is not encyclopedic and reads like a PR piece. I'm ok keeping it this way but I personally believe Philanthropy, In popular culture, and Personal life should be deleted or consolidated. ReidLark1n (talk) 15:54, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add that this is an article about the Hawk Tuah Girl meme, not a biography of Haliey Welch. See the AFD discussion. I agree that some of the more biographical content should be deleted. 162 etc. (talk) 16:30, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

“Hawk Tuah” [i]s the onomatopoei[a]...of spitting “before—or during—f******* to increase ... lubrication.” See, https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattsalyer/2024/07/08/hawk-tuah-girl-the-obscure-whose-story-is-the-hawk-tuah-meme/; https://slate.com/life/2024/07/hawk-tuah-girl-video-what-is-haliey-welch-meaning.html.

This seems to be to be a sufficient explanation, although the current state is also sufficient (I will note that an IP deleted the explanation of "hawk tuah" stating "The previous statement “added that she was spitting on the man’s p**** for f******* [sic]. I removed “for f*******” [sic] because that’s only an assumption by the viewer. What she said was “spit on that thang” however never suggests what her next action was."). That IP does not appear to understand WP:SOURCEDEF.

I agree with 162 etc.. Moreover, I believe everything below the first paragraph under "viral video" should be deleted per WP:NOTPROMO. ReidLark1n (talk) 21:51, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Hawk Tuah" is the notable part of the name, the "Girl" afterwards is unnessecary. I think we should rename it to "Hawk Tuah", and change the wording in various places to make the article less about the woman herself and more about the catchphrase. Cereally8 (talk) 08:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all of the sources refer to her as the "Hawk Tuah Girl." The page is currently set up to really be about Haliey Welch, not the internet meme (however, I disagree with that decision).

Per my last note, I believe the page should be about the meme, but it is likely a separate Haliey Welch page would survive WP:SIGCOV.

However, this page has risen to the point of violating WP:NOTPROMO.

I would like to open a discussion on whether the aftermath section should be removed as it currently violates WP:NOTPROMO. ReidLark1n (talk) 23:58, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: "Welch lives with her grandmother in Belfast, Tennessee" is not mentioned in the article. M.Bitton (talk) 22:23, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I get it's a particularly gross sexual act and you want to keep an encyclopedic tone, but expectoration is a stupid, hard to understand word to use there and the article blurb you get hovering on it is exactly zero help. change the wording there to something that's actually intelligible. Duenine (talk) 03:12, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The word is, handily, linked for the uninitiated. Seasider53 (talk) 03:29, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has been proposed in this section that Hawk tuah be renamed and moved to Hawk Tuah.

Hawk Tuah Girl → Hawk Tuah – The closure of the previous AfD stated we should make it primarily about the meme rather than the person, and the corresponding discussion was clear that the article should not exist to cover only Haliey Welch because of WP:BLP1E but should instead focus on the event. The current title was chosen unilaterally and I think fails to orient the article towards the meme/phenomenon/video, and instead continues to orient the article around the individual. I am therefore proposing the article be renamed to simply Hawk tuah (capitalisation up for discussion) in similar fashion to other articles that discuss viral phrases, see You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?. This would also address several of the concerns raised on this talk page about the unusual/informal current page name. EoRdE6^(Talk) 01:43, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i agree with this (see previous comment on the talk page), and also think Hawk Tuah would be the correct capitalisation. Cereally8 (talk) 12:02, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Support The rename and editing to make the article less about the individual and more about the meme. AusLondonder (talk) 14:24, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Support I agree with everything said so far in this discussion.El monty (talk) 14:38, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Support The current state of this article not only violates the AFD but also WP:NOTPROMO. The description should also be changed to internet meme. The entire aftermath section should accordingly be deleted.

ReidLark1n (talk) 15:26, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's what the article should look like. I imagine it looking like Star Wars Kid after we synthesize the aftermath section to be WP:NOTPROMO compliant.

Internet Meme

Hawk Tuah is a phrase from a viral video posted in 2024, in which during an interview, Haliey Welch^[a] (/ˈheɪli/; born 2002 or 2003)^[2] used the catchphrase, "hawk tuah", an apparent onomatopoeia for expectoration on a man's penis during oral sex.^[3]

History

On June 11, 2024, a man on the street YouTube channel, Tim & Dee TV, released a video featuring an interview with Haliey Welch in the Broadway district of Nashville, Tennessee.^[4] During the video, she was asked a series of not-safe-for-work questions including, "What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?" Welch's reply, using her Southern accent, was, "You gotta give 'em that 'hawk tuah' and spit on that thang," referring to spitting on a man's penis during oral sex.^[5][2][6] The original video went viral, receiving millions of views across TikTok and Instagram, spawning remixes and remakes of the original audio, and gaining Welch the nickname Hawk Tuah Girl.^[7] ReidLark1n (talk) 23:22, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support as per nom. Lewisguile (talk) 18:37, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support per User:ReidLark1n. Reads very much like a promotional article in its current state, and would be far better off being about the meme itself instead of the advertisement for the WP:BLP1E case it currently comes off as. JeffSpaceman (talk) 15:14, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Support The AfD consensus was very clear. This article should be about the meme/phrase. This was discussed already, and I find the closer's decision very odd as the current name has an identical scope to the previous, equally problematic name, which is why the page is still in the same unacceptable state that it was when it was brought to AfD. This page shouldn't just be a bullet-point list of every time Welch got to hang out with larger celebrities. That's the clearest example of WP:NOTNEWS (4. Celebrity gossip and diary) I've seen in all my years on this site. I'd delete the infobox and at least two thirds of the Aftermath section. The meme is notable. The person behind the meme is not.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 21:22, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We should replace the word expectoration in the introduction with a simpler word like "spitting", to make the article more accessible. 88.212.130.115 (talk) 18:01, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect. Seasider53 (talk) 20:19, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this, actually. Not because it's simpler, but because it's more correct. This article used to say that the "hawk tuah" catchphrase referred to expectoration after oral sex, which is doubly wrong. It's referring to spitting before or during it. At least the latter part has been fixed. Expectoration is just not correct. I mean, the other half of the catchphrase is literally "spit on that thang", it's not ambiguous.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 18:48, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
