Proposed merge of White lighter myth into 27 Club
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- To merge White lighter myth into 27 Club for short text and context, but not for notability. Klbrain (talk) 13:35, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
Very short article, can be contained in a single section of 27 Club. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 00:46, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- Don't merge The White lighter myth is primarily based on the deaths of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain. Kolano123 (talk) 20:04, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- MERGEGood to mention it though as they were the 4 main reasons the 27 club even rose as a conspiracy, especially Kurt Cobain.
- It adds more mystery.
- I personally see no harm. 217.32.247.85 (talk) 10:50, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support the merge of a very short article into this one. There's not much to say about the white lighter thing, except as it pertains to this topic. Joyous! Noise! 17:38, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Merge. Anyone familiar with supernatural TV fiction knows the term "white lighter" originated with the long-running series Charmed to refer to guardian angels. The creation of this article was in 2007 just after that series. Someone probably thought it would be fun to create a second meaning, which as Snopes showed, lacks factual basis. A lot, if not all, of the articles online mentioning the myth were likely generated as a result of this Wikipedia article. No harm in including the myth in the 27 Club article. 5Q5|✉ 12:01, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Don't merge but mention in the 27 Club article, providing a link to the White lighter myth article; the article White lighter myth seems to be independently notable, even though it is very small. Kolano123 (talk) 16:10, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Merge. It is a short article associated with the four main artists that started the speculation that turned into the 27 club. Earth Mountain (talk) 04:18, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 13:35, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
Addition to In Popular Culture: Music Tab
In Mac Miller's song Brand Name from his album "GO:OD AM" he mentions the 27 Club in the line, "To everyone who sell me drugs, don't mix it with that bullshit, I'm hopin' not to join the twenty seven club." I would suggest adding this to the In Popular Culture tab. Brycevrska (talk) 21:38, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
In Allan Rayman's song "27" from his album "Hotel Allan" (2016), he shares his concern about rising fame and substance use as he approaches age 27. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.0.179.2 (talk) 16:07, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Please add Amar Singh Chamkila to the "Notable individuals" section of the 27 Club page. Amar Singh Chamkila (July 21, 1960 – March 8, 1988) was an iconic Indian singer, songwriter, and musician, known for his influential contributions to Punjabi music. He tragically died at the age of 27 when he and his wife were assassinated in Mehsampur, Punjab, India. Chamkila's untimely death and enduring legacy in music make him a notable addition to this list.

- Looks to me like he's already included in the table of names in the "Identified members" section. — Mudwater (Talk) 15:03, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Not done. See the note at the top of this page which says that the 27 Club must be mentioned in the reference. None of your references even have the word "club". Binksternet (talk) 04:10, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Please HugoCaldeira92 (talk) 21:15, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Not done You did not provide a reliable source that they are described as belonging to the 27 Club. KOLANO12 3 17:58, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- @HugoCaldeira92: Hello! Based on previous discussions about this article, there's a consensus that, to be included in the list, a reliable source specifically has to say that a person is a member of the 27 Club. That Guardian article about Ahmet Calik, the soccer player, does say that he died at age 27, but it doesn't mention the 27 Club. — Mudwater (Talk) 22:39, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
