Have they been Edit Warring over this?
Looking at the history page, yes, there has been a back-and-forth with that example, with ryanisbetter adding it at least twice.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
A bit too slow moving for a suspension, especially since a) Madrugada was not making a mod order there and b) there is a difference between "too early to list" and "don't list this ever".

Would it still fall under edit warring, though?
Peace is the only battle worth waging.
Bumping because he’s deleting a bunch of other examples without seeking consensus.

Looking at her discography all eight of her singles and both her albums have sold way to well to call her a either a One-Hit OR Two-Hit Wonder

Three of her singles have also made the top 25 on the US charts with a forth breaking the top 40. Impressive when she's only had eight singles so far.

Has anyone tried to discuss with him? I agree, looking at that Wikipedia page, that there's no way Lorde qualifies. But these things are supposed to be settled through discussion.
If he's been ignoring attempts at discussion, then that's one thing, but if all sides have been ignoring the possibility of discussion, then that's probably the first thing that should be addressed.
(I'm not going to get involved because I'm an old fogey who knows almost nothing about contemporary pop.)
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
Neither do I.
I'm mainly a country fan when comes to pop/radio music but that Wikipedia page tells be right off the bat she's done way to good be written off as either trope.
Maybe someone should PM them here.
I’ve tried discussing it with him via edit reasons (saying essentially what Shoboni said), but it was fruitless. I doubt a PM would work much better with him.

Edit reasons are a poor place to have a conversation; not everyone checks them. Ryan needs a PM.

I suspended them and removed their last few edits.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Bumping because his recent post on the Two-Hit Wonder discussion page accused me of wanting to remove the example because “I don’t want it listed” when everyone who’s commented on this issue agrees it should be removed. Less seriously, he replied to a four-year-old discussion on the same page, but I don’t know if that’s as serious as necroing a thread.

They seem to be getting rude in the Discussion as well. I think
violates the "Don't be a dick" rule.
So he's still insistent. Time for another chat.

repeatedly insists on listing Lorde as an example of Two-Hit Wonder, ignoring the fact that Madrugada officially ruled against this
