[edit] Extended Aftermath Entertainment family

Extended Aftermath Entertainment family (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There is no proof that any real relationship, a side from being signed to the same label, exists to be considred an "extended family". Ted87 00:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

• Nominate and Delete --Ted87 10:38, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The article appears to be just that (just what is says it is) so as not to be indiscriminate. Recommend contacting the sole author via his her talk page to justify sourcing. Navou ^banter / _contribs 00:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Nominator said it: indiscriminate collection of information. YechielMan 00:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. /Blaxthos 06:13, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - I don't understand how this is indiscriminate. It very clearly specifies who should be included. -- Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 09:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Coment - Where is the proof that this is such an "extended family" worth mentioning more then any multiple labels signed under one parent comapny? --Ted87 10:38, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

• Is it appropriate for AFD before attempting sourcing, or tagging as such? Navou ^banter / _contribs 13:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and Delete to the various labels listed in the article; you could, with equal justification, list every bluelink employed by Time Warner. And it's certainly appropriate to file an AfD on an article where the criteria for deletion have little to do with sourcing. RGTraynor 15:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I mean come on. Where is the relationship there between Lil' Murda and Aftermath Entertainment? Lil' Murda is signed to Young Bucks label, who is signed to 50 Cent's label who is signed to Dr. Dre's label (Aftermath). And this is a so called extended family? Nevermind that Dre will probably never meet Lil' Murda (we are never definite about the future), but this article is nothing but a bunch of loose affiliates. No family is ever applied. Why? Because it doesn't exsit. --Ted87 07:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. This is too fancrufty. There is no point in having an article about "extended Aftermath Entertainment family," or whatever. It's convoluted, serves no real purpose, and has the potential to spiral out of control. If an artist is signed directly to Aftermath, then they can be cited on the Aftermath article. If they aren't signed directly to Aftermath, then there's no point in drawing a correlation simply because they're merely associated with someone who is.Enotiva 06:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - No point of having this article, as Ted87 said, I don't see how guys like C-Bo, Lil' Murda, or Awesome Two are related to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment label. Maybe we should just add a list of artists who are signed to Aftermath, Shady, and G-Unit, but nothing else, no "Fyre Dapartment" or whatever, and just add that list to the Aftermath, Shady, and G-Unit articles as a section such as "Record labels affiliated with Aftermath". So then only add the artists that are ON Aftermath, such as Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Dr. Dre, etc. Or G-Unit, 50 Cent, Young Buck, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, Olivia, and so on. --- Efil4tselaer 01:37, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
