For long time it was here that she is Serbian Australian, what she is and her name was shown in Serbian Cyrillic: Холи Рејчел Вукадиновић. Who now vandalize this page and remove all of that even when it was fine referenced? Her surname goes after Serb dad Rajko?
Some sources:
" Gilles Nuytens: You are also in the cast of the hit TV show Prison Break, how did you land on the show? Holly Valance: Like everyone else. I auditioned. I didn’t think I had a chance though because the girls I was up against really had Slavic accents so I thought I was screwed, turns out my Serbian roots kicked in and I was able to pull it off.

Serbian Cyrillic: Холи Рејчел Вукадиновић Put it back please! 178.253.217.190 ( talk) 19:58, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Source what for? For Serbian Cyrillic letters? Do you read me? Every Serb and Serb origin person in wikipedia have their name written in Serbian Cyrillic (like i.e. Nikola Tesla). Holly is Serb root and her full name in Serbian Cyrillic is as I wrote up. Or to give you Serbian alphabet to check it out? 178.253.217.190 ( talk) 20:03, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
She describes her father has Montenegrin: https://twitter.com/hollycandy/status/271957994739204097 Richard Gadsden ( talk) 20:52, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
I've managed to secure images from Universal Online Australia [1] to use images of Holly Valance and albums so long as we abide by their terms and agreements. All shots, except Image:Kiss_kiss_-_limited_edition.jpg (which is a limited edition cover which I think should be fairuse for historical reasons) will be publicity shots and we'll have their permission to use them. - Ta bu shi da yu 07:39, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I'd like to know how many songs she's actually written herself, or whether she just gets away with being a singer because she wears next to nothing. I also haven't noted the fact that she got sued (and lost) after she dropped her old manager. - Ta bu shi da yu 09:16, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
It says her father is "Serbian-Croatian". What does that mean? Is he a Serb or a Croat? Is he from Serbia or Croatia? Vukadinović seems like a Serbian name. It also says she was educated at a Roman Catholic high school. Does that mean she's catholic or she just went to a catholic school?
It seems like their inclusion in the main article just adds a cluttered look and even at the expense of having more album stubs added into the mix, it would be fair to at least separate the full length releases into their own articles if they are notable enough to even be mentioned. Anyone else agree? 65.145.212.238 05:55, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
i think she was actually born in new zealand and moved to australia at age 3 or 4. (embarrassed to admit that i know anything about holly valance ;-> )
I know this might seem like splitting hairs, or however the saying goes, but wouldn't it be more likely, given her Serbian heritage, that the song "Kiss Kiss" was based on the Serbian cover-song "Afrodiziak" by Jelena Karleuša (which in turn was based on "Simarik") rather than on the Turkish original?

What is with all the random images just randomly shoved into the middle of the article? Celebrity-Benji 07:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I know its always good to use a free-use image, but the current one is of pretty poor quality, and thus doesnt really represent the subject that well imo. Valet5 16:08, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
The movie is already out for a while now, I think it's time to remove the future tense from the paragraph.
Tell me about it, everytime i replace the bloody thing with a secure image, someone retracts it to the old one. WHY!!!!!????? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.38.227.57 ( talk) 21:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC).
I've removed the sentence, "Valance will be apperaring as State Attorney Vera Mantini in CSI Miami in 2007.", as it is unsourced. Please provide a reliable source before putting it back. -- Donald Albury 16:21, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I want to why the external link to http://www.hollyvalanceonline.com/ is allowed. most pages have "coming soon" loaded with adsense ads.
Can somebody please go through the article and clean up please. I am not a fan, (linked from one article to another), but find the lines toffee crisp, £3 record and sponsorship deals quite hard for anyone to believe. I looked back through several revisions and it appears to be vandalism still left over from previously that nobody has spotted. I did however burst out laughing when I read about her 147. Didn't even know she played snooker. Steve hill4 22:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Have tidied up the things mentioned here. Craigjs 07:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Why is this article rated b-class? I don't think it has that much info on her. Tarkan is rated b-class as well as has much much more info. -- Teemeah Gül Bahçesi 10:30, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
I have added the merge template to the Please Please Please Me article on some reasons per Wikipedia:MUSIC#Albums_and_songs:

Is the info about who Holly is dating really relevant to the article? Lots of famous people have boy/girlfriends, and we tend to ignore it as nonnotable, unless there has been specific covereage about it. - mattbuck ( Talk) 19:37, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Her singing career effectively ended years ago, I'm not sure of the protocol, but does that still warrant a music artist template or should it change since she's full-time actress now? 155.69.192.22 ( talk) 08:13, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
She actually played the character Brenda Snow for the game, in video cutscenes in between missions. The character was not cgi, so she didn't just do the voice.
I removed spelling of her name in the Serbian language as I saw it as unnecessary; she is an Australian while only her father is Serbian. Mattbuck reverted me without much explanation, "may as well keep it...". Is there any reason to have the spelling in Serbian?
P.S.: This is a typical case like the one with Jennifer Aniston, where spelling of her name in the Greek language was removed; her father is Greek while she is American. Any input? Cheers. — Kedadi talk 16:54, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
I've just undone the damage caused by the deletion of the third album information (as well as the subsequent edits). If there is any reliable evidence of a third album, then can that be added with citations please? Kesmet 00:51, 9 December 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kesmet ( talk • contribs)
There presently is a discussion at BLPN Holly Valance ( perm link) looking into addressing Holly's concerns. -- Uzma Gamal ( talk) 11:56, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
