[edit] Rap Basement

This article does not assert notability; internet forums are not by themselves encyclopedaic; I believe this article was created by members of the forum (so is therefore vanity). Talrias (t | e | c) 01:32, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as it stands. Sort of senseless: how does rap basement deal with rep trading. Marskell 10:30, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete unless notibility goes into the article and can be verified. The photo caption claims 56,000 users. Is that true? Does that make it notable? Tedernst 18:43, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep the site -- it is one of the most well-known internet hip-hop sites on the internet. Real celebrites have frequented on the site, something that nearly no other website can match. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.107.203.25 (talk • contribs) 19:36, 31 October 2005

  Could you add this information to the article, providing links to the examples you give? Talrias (t | e | c) 20:01, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable forum. Article is being vandalized by anons. jni 19:57, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Article has been fixed to give examples of notibility. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.241.226.31 (talk • contribs)
