• Younique (company) → Younique
• Younique → Younique (album)Younique (album)

– With a valuation of $1 billion, mainstream media coverage, and active online communities like /r/Youniqueamua, the MLM scheme Younique clearly has much more reader interest and significance than an obscure album from two decades ago. feminist (talk) 16:14, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose 1st but Support 2nd. I'd say there's no primary topic (or shouldn't be), and that a disambiguation page should be created at the basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 17:07, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

  How is the album comparable to the company in any sense? feminist (talk) 17:48, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

• Tentative Support. I wish this discussion weren't happening the same day this article was created - I'd feel more comfortable endorsing the company as WP:PTOPIC if there were some pageview stats supporting its primary-ness. That said, I agree that the album seems very obscure and the company has received considerable RS coverage, so it seems very likely that the company will prove itself to be primary with respect to usage once the dust settles. Not a fan of putting a disambiguation page at the base name, given this is a WP:2DABPRIMARY situation. Colin M (talk) 00:07, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
• Younique (disambiguation) In ictu oculi (talk) 09:46, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
• Support - the billion-dollar company is far better known than the obscure album. There's no indication from the album article that it even meets WP:NALBUM. -Zanhe (talk) 23:52, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
• Support - Based just on current sources, this company is clearly more notable. Heck, based on sources, this company is more notable than than Superior (band). If there are additional sources for the album, and they are substantial ones, they should be added to that article, and then perhaps a disambiguation would make sense.

False claims about losing money

I never lost money with Younique the only people who lost money were those who never even tried selling their products or those who sold under cost I love Younique and I sell for them I have been selling for 2 years now and recruited 10 others who also never lost money — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noelle190 (talk • contribs) 14:49, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

While it's fine that you never lost money, unfortunately the testimony of one editor is not a WP:RELIABLE source. The reliable sources we have on the article at the minute indicate otherwise as to the monetary problems faced by some Younique sellers. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 22:57, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Promo editing

Please do not replace reliable sources (The Guardian, Wall Street Journal) by promotional fluff websites. We have reliable sources indicating it's a multi-level marketing system, that's what we should call it. Robincantin (talk) 23:13, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Would this need some semi-protection? I've been debating it for a while since it does seem to be prone to promotional editing. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:16, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Nice of you to offer, @ReaderofthePack. At your discretion, but I don't mind keeping a watch on it. A revert doesn't take long. Robincantin (talk) 20:16, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

As long as you think you have a handle on it, I'll leave it be - but any time you need a little help, let me know. I can start with a short burst of semi-protection and then work up to anything permanent. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 16:50, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
