Name

The overwhelming majority of early Chinese immigrants to Hawaii came from southern China, and they were mainly Cantonese speakers. The spelling of his Chinese name suggests that Don Ho's family is Cantonese. Including Don Ho's Chinese name in Mandarin--a separate language that is mutually unintelligible with Cantonese--makes as much sense as giving the French equivalent of an Italian's name. Accordingly, I have deleted it. Godfrey Daniel 00:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don Ho - religion

Does anyone know the religious backround of Don Ho?72.197.208.34 23:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)kalishpsych@cox.net[reply]

Hoku statement

In September 2006, Ho married Haumea Hebenstreit, who produced his show at the Waikiki Beachcomber. Ho's daughter, Hoku, performed with her father in his Waikīkī show and later went on to become a nationally known recording artist in her own right.

Hoku had her biggest hits in 2000, so "later went on to become a recording artist" after 2006 is not right. Guroadrunner 14:09, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aloha ʻe Don. A hui hou. The heavenly band has an awesome new edition. -- Kanaka maoli i puuwai 09:21, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

何大來

Is the name 何大來 recognized by the late singer himself?--218.103.214.94 17:21, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Children

The Los Angeles Times obit says he has six children with Melva May, three with Patricia, and one more, unnamed. Does anyone know the name of this child and who its mother is? Corvus cornix 21:16, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think I remember there used to be more information about wives and girlfriends in this article. Did someone delete it? --Gbleem 22:50, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the LA Times obit said it got its information from Ho's daughter Dayna, but though she told them 10 children, they didn't know any further info as to who the tenth was. Corvus cornix 20:37, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article image

Per WP:FUC we can not use a copyrighted image of an album cover to illustrate the artist. We could use it to illustrate a section or article specifically about the album per fair use terms. Any effert to find an image we can use to illustrate this article without violating copyrights would be greatly appreciated. Rklawton 18:34, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can we use a copyrighted picture of him though? He's no longer living, so a free replacement could probably not be found... Ab e g92contribs 22:29, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That would run against our goal of creating a "free" encyclopedia. Besides, there must be hundreds of thousands of snapshots of him out there. A free replacement is available if only someone would donate one. Rklawton 15:06, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dayna Ho-Henry

Dayna died after Don Ho in 2007. She isn't mentioned in his article. She doesn't have an article of her own. Since her death didn't affect Don Ho's life, and since this article is about Don Ho's life (as opposed to his family tree), reporting her death here isn't helpful.

Move from Don Ho

This page has been moved from Don Ho and replaced with an article about a lesser-known Vietnamese singer. I propose moving this back to Don Ho and moving that to Don Ho (Vietnamese American singer). Jokestress 16:54, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to be bold and speedy this. Don Ho by far most commonly refers to the Hawaiian performer. older ≠ wiser 17:06, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
