[edit] 50 Cent

A really informative article. It follows the manual of style, is well written and has many reliable references to support its statements. It covers all aspects of his life from a neutral point of view. Is stable and has experienced editors keeping watch on it and updating it. --The-G-Unit-Boss 20:42, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

• Support-This is a very well written article. A very good representative of the Hip hop and G-Unit articles. --The-G-Unit-Boss 20:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose This passed as a good article only three weeks ago. The reviewer suggested room for improvement, which has not even been addressed yet. It's still not as comprehensive as it should be. For example, there's no critical reviews of his acting and there's little critical reception of his albums. And since he's coming out with an album in a few weeks, there could be stability issues. This nomination is quite early and I think there should have been a notice on the talk page first. Although it's a fairly good article, it's still not up to FA standards.

• Oppose Spellcast took most of my words. Wait until the album comes out. Add any extra information with the album if there is any. Also I would like to see the page unprotected. If it is semi-protected, it probably means its a target for vandalism which is a no-no for a FAC. However this article does have potential and I am ready to change my vote after the album comes out. -ScotchMB 02:55, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  Semi-protection should have absolutely no impact on whether or not an article passes FAC. "Reversions of vandalism and improvements based on reviewers' suggestions" do not make an article unstable. 17Drew 21:35, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering if I should have put up that comment but vandalism on the page means there are some people who disagree with the current writting stuff on the page. If a neutral compromise is found then vandalism would probably go away. -ScotchMB 14:19, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Please re-read the cirteria, you clearly do not understand them. Vandalism has nothing to do with stability. Tayquan^holla_{My work} 01:41, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose - Per Spellcast and ScotchMB. Especially because of the upcoming album(s). Also, as Spellcast said, if the suggested improvements have not been addressed yet, it is still at GA status. --- Realest4Life 15:47, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose - Per Spellcast and ScotchMB. --Ayoleftyz 15:50, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose. Needs more time put into it, and more polishing. •Malinaccier• ^T/C 20:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose. Too many opinions Rlk89 00:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose, per Spellcast and ScotchMB. --RandomOrca2 03:29, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose - Per above, sorry. - Caribbean~H.Q. 18:10, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
• An administrator should close this per WP:SNOW. Davnel03 12:21, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
