Proposal to move recent Idol performances out of the 'Retirement from music' section[edit]
i just added a new line for his recent performance in May of 2022, but i was simply following the format that had his 2016 appearance in that section. It seems to me somewhat counter intuitive that musical performances are listed in the 'Retirement from music' section of the article.

Please change "Retirement from music" to "Putting his entertainment career aside" because he just performed at the American Idol Finale last year and he will continue to perform whenever he gets a chance.
Please change "technical crime analyst" to "statistical analyst" because that is the correct job title while he was working for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. WHungSpeaks (talk) 18:07, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove "Civil engineering university student" from the list of Occupations in the bar on the right. I do not think it is regular practice to label people who have changed careers as being an "X university student" when they no longer pursue X profession. In fact, the lead of the article says that this person abandoned his studies to pursue an entirely different career. There is no evidence that he has worked in the field of civil engineering.

Proposal to remove "civil engineering university student" from occupation[edit]
Sorry, I'm still not clear on which things need consensus and which don't (good thing I did a request- I didn't see anything at the top of the talk page that said I needed consensus, so I almost did it myself!).
I think "Student" should be removed from this person's list of occupations. He has never worked in the field of civil engineering and there is no evidence that his time as a student before he changed careers has significantly impacted his life. The article states that he now works as a technical crime analyst, so even after leaving his music career he has not returned to civil engineering. Below see my original semi-protected edit request.
