Occupations and genres
Pharrell's occupations should be "musician, singer, rapper, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer" (including in the infobox), and his music genres should be R&B, hip-hop, and pop, just like that AllMusic source says so. 2601:18D:4A7F:1590:4CD6:34AB:E972:7DE (talk) 21:33, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
Occupation update
Pharrell's occupation list in the infobox should say "songwriter, record producer, rapper, singer, and fashion designer", the short description should say "American songwriter" instead of "American musician", and it should say "Pharrell Lanscilo Williams, also known mononymously as Pharrell, is an American songwriter, record producer, rapper, and singer". Again, his music genres in the infobox should be changed to "R&B, hip-hop, and pop", just like how AllMusic sources it. AndrewTheWikiEditor (talk) 17:51, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

In the infobox, the occupations should say "songwriter, record producer, singer, rapper, and fashion designer" and the genres should say "R&B, hip-hop, and pop". In the lead section, the introduction should say "Pharrell Lanscilo Williams, also known mononymously as Pharrell, is an American songwriter, record producer, singer, and rapper". The short description should also say "American songwriter (born 1973)". ~2026-14794-32 (talk) 13:26, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
