[edit] Asian american rappers

Asian american rappers (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non notable musical phenominon, rather difficult to cite, certainly a rather indiscriminate list of non-notable rappers. Deletion may not be the best course here, although I can't really see what could be done. I'm neutral. J Milburn 02:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

• I'm going to have to go with delete. This is basically an original and unsourced essay about how hard it is to be an Asian rapper. My guess is also that "spittin" is a desirable characteristic in a rapper. Three of the four named rappers appear to be non-notable and the fourth is borderline. eaolson 02:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete There are no sources to confirm notability of the subject, as it stands the article is a commentary/essay. Calgary 03:01, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete due to lack of sources. --Metropolitan90 03:35, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• keep It's notable. A Google search yields about 3,000,000 hits.----^DarkTea© 04:01, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • How did you calculate that? I found that a Google search yielded only 767 hits. [1] --Metropolitan90 17:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete this entire article is original research and completely uncited. Even if the subject s notable, it'd better to start over. Corpx 05:36, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Perhaps a real article might be possible on this topic, but the present content is just four microstubs on painfully non-notable people squished into one page. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:00, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. My initial reaction was "I can't think of too many Asian-American rappers", which seems to be kind of the point of this article, but that doesn't equate to a valid article topic. If any of the four mentioned here are in fact notable (which seems to be questionable at best), then they'd be in need of their own articles. If there's a series of identifying marks - other than the ethnicity of its performers - which characterise Asian-American Hip-Hop, then an article should be written on these. This is neither of the above. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:42, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with Asian Americans in Hip Hop, or categorize. (I think these guys are already categorized in Category:Asian Americans in music though.) Wl219 16:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
