== Big clean up ==
I have cleaned this up and sourced the content, as I expect it will be getting a lot more hits tomorrow as the news of his death disseminates. At the moment, the details of his death are sketchy (for example, some sources mention his son was present, other suggests his daughter was too - so I have gone for "children" at the moment). I think we should keep the section on his death neutral and brief until the details further emerge from reliable sources. This page has already been sourced by the mainstream media for info on him [http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,,2-7-1442_2205149,00.html], so lets try and keep it tight over the next few days so we don't embarrass ourselves. [[User:Rockpocket|<
:Argh. The part they sourced as "according to Wikipedia" is actually a statement that is conflicting with the "Official Lucky Dube website," specifically how he got his name. (nowhere could I find anything about "poor health" at birth, only references to the mother's previous failed pregnancies). I fixed the Wik to cite the official site.
Line 36 ⟶ 39:
The introduction and the "Early Life" section in the biography offer contradictory information about why he was called Lucky. Can someone who knows the real story please fix this? Thanks [[User:Qwertyca|Qwertyca]] 19:09, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
:I fixed what I could based on the "official website" and the CNN report. Removed the redundancy. [[User:Keeper76|<
There is no "official website" to base this information on.
Line 45 ⟶ 48:
Is there anybody who knows details of Lucky Dube's contributions to the Nazareth Baptist Church. This seems like significant information to me but I know nothing more than that he donated money and wrote songs about the church (Shembe is the way). <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/198.164.201.93|198.164.201.93]] ([[User talk:198.164.201.93|talk]]) 02:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== Early Life ==
The statement "It was from there that he was introduced to the Mormon religion" is highly contentious as it implies he actually became a Mormon. He may have met Mormons through family. He may also have met FW de Klerk but that would not imply he believed in apartheid. This unjustifiable and extremely dubious statement should therefore be removed. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.95.222.235|86.95.222.235]] ([[User talk:86.95.222.235|talk]]) 23:14, 6 March 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== References ==
It would seem that 95% of references used in this article to support the statements therein are dead or non-existant. This page needs to be re-written and the contentious unsupported statements removed. Most definitely the unsupported reference to the Mormon 'church' which has been picked up from this wiki article and used erroneously in numerous other websites !<span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.95.222.235|86.95.222.235]] ([[User talk:86.95.222.235|talk]]) 00:10, 7 March 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Incorrect spouse ==
Lucky Dube was NOT married to Thobekile Ngcobo 1989-2007.
I don’t believe he was ever married to her. He was single many of those years then married Zanele Dube sometime early 2000’s until his death in 2007 [[Category:Spouse (s)[[User:Iheartlpd|Iheartlpd]] ([[User talk:Iheartlpd|talk]]) 06:13, 8 June 2021 (UTC)]]
