[edit] WP:BLP

I just removed a huge amount of unsourced information from this article. This is the biography of a living person and all information should be reliably sourced. janejellyroll 01:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

• Nice to see that you've confessed to your vandalism. Tom Danson 19:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Pardon me? This article previously included claims that Bryan Williams has a grill in his mouth worth half a million dollars, that he is the "surrogate father" of Lil Wayne, and that he made $80 million from the sales of his special edition Lugz. When I searched, I found no documentation of any of these claims. There was also, more worryingly, accusations of financial misappropriation that were completely unsourced. My removal of material was completely in line with WP:BLP and any editor is welcome to add it back with appropriate sources. I'm not sure why you would assume bad faith of my edits. janejellyroll 00:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I wish everyone here could feel what I feel at this moment. See, I have a vision for this page. That someday it can be a place where people from every corner of the world can come to find out information about Bryan "Baby" Williams. Everything from what his favorite cereal is, to how many different men his mom has had sex with. I know this can come true eventually if we all work together. What I want to know is how many other people out there are as passionate about it as I am. I think we could take this page further than any other wikipedia entry has ever gone. When people look back on the early days of wikipedia, this could be the entry that sets the standard for just how deeply a person can look into the intricate details of a person's life. If anyone is interested, please join me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.22.81.124 (talk) 05:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Biography"

I put the subject in quotes because I only loosely consider this to be a Biography. A bit about an arrest, and his sister's accident, do not a true biography make.

I suggest simply removing the whole thing, filing those arbitrary bits of information under a Trivia section or something.

Thoughts? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lepetiterobot (talk • contribs) 18:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC). recently arrested in tn for smoking pot!!!!

[edit] Businessman?

Seriously, what??? Why isn't he a rapper/producer/musician? Zchris87v 06:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion tag

There is a deletion tag on this article:

"100 Million" is the second single from Birdman's third studio album, Five Star General. The track features Young Jeezy, Rick Ross & Lil' Wayne, and was produced by Cool & Dre. "100 Million" has already been added on iTunes.

A video for the song is already in pre-production, and will be released soon.

I moved the information here. Travb (talk) 07:20, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] maybe mention that

he claims Blood as he throws up a Blood sign in a lot of music videos, says blood in some songs, and his foster son Lil Wayne openly claims Blood on several songs (i.e I'm Blooded) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.14.100 (talk) 17:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

It shopuld be put in a cultural reference that the Episode Gangstalicious is loosley based on Birdmans alleged Homosexuality and or fagdom. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.171.1.97 (talk) 11:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Birth Year?

The infobox says 1969, but the text of the article says 1963. I don't know which one it actually is, but someone should.--69.143.191.89 (talk) 22:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
