[edit] Vile (Hip Hop) & Subpages

Not notable. Possible vanity. It failed the Google test with "Jose Estrada" Vile. Then it failed the All Music Guide test, there is an entry called "Vile" that is categorized as "rap" but I don't think AMG is trying to imply him. AMG doesn't list the hip hop band "BORED". The subpages are also nominated by me: Tha Creation* IMG., Hitlah, Lucki Charmz, R.I.P. Imani and Imani Asikari. Chill Pill Bill 02:41, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete All as unverifiable, likely vanity. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 10:48, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: Looks like Kiddie Taunts. Unverifiable, likely libel pages. Geogre 12:07, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all nn vanity. --Etacar11 17:47, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong delete. As a hip-hopper, I feel qualified to say, in the grand tradition of Das Efx, that this entry is wiggidy-wack. Somebody had better check themselves. jglc | t | c 20:13, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete. Ok first of all jasonglchu, i don't know who ur trying to pass off as, but that whole little "gangsta" slang term is annoying, and secondly, Imani is a factual person, if u don't believe me then go to his myspace: http://www.myspace.com/ripztah it shows 3 of his latest songs. Remember that Imani, Vile, Hitlah, Lucki Charmz are underground rappers who are trying to get recognition, so i posted this article to get their name in the spotlight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.126.102.142 (talk • contribs) 22:17, 14 Jun 2005
    • You, sir, obviously can't see further than the basement or garage in which you and your pathetic buddies record your music on a Fisher-Price microphone. Das Efx is about as far from gangsterism as one can get in the spectrum of hip-hop, being idealogical cousins to the Native Tongues movement, and such artists as De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. Who I'm trying to "pass myself off as" is a scholar of hip-hop, from Grand Mixer DXT all the way up to Aesop Rock and Eyedea. Go learn some history, then come correct. jglc | t | c 01:50, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - People included in Wikipedia should ideally have had their 15 minutes already, and it certainly shouldn't be for those who really want their 15 minutes or more but haven't got them yet. StopTheFiling 23:51, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Dont Delete - In my neighborhood Imani & his posse are very well known and i think that it should remain in wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.126.102.142 (talk • contribs) 22:58, 15 Jun 2005
  • Deletion Not Necessary - I believe just because these kids arent as popular as Snoop Dogg does not mean we should delete this article. thewiz | thewiztalk | 04:09, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • This is user's first edit jglc | t | c 01:11, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: Let's see. Snoop Dogg is a recording artist who has had record contracts with several different high-profile recording companies, and has released albums in collaboration with several of hip-hop's most well-known personalities, producers, and emcees. "these kids," on the other hand, are "well known" in somebody's neighborhood. Which one would be included in an encyclopaedia...? jglc | t | c 01:16, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all. Defenders essentially admit they're not notable. carmeld1 01:12, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Let's Comprimise Imani Asikari & Tha Creation* Family are working on the R.I.P. Imani Album, it is going to be released on CD Babythis summer I think. I suggest wikipedia keeps the article for the rest of the summer or for atleast like 3 weeks and if the album is not released yet we ban the creator of the article for creating 8 hoax articles, but if the Album releases then we keep the articles. How's that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.8.100.49 (talk • contribs) 22:57, 18 Jun 2005
    • Let's Compromise: You stop being a sock (or meat) puppet, and an admin deletes your article. How's that? jglc | t | c 01:32, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
