[edit] This article

No offence to the good-faith contributors who have made it, but this article is in need of some serious help. I can maybe help with making some of the language more encyclopedic, but among other concerns, redlinks should only be used if three is a serious possibility of an article being written. I'll be back with more ideas when I can, but in the meantime if anybody felt like tidying it up I would be very grateful. --Guinnog 13:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I've reverted it to a stub for now. Any properly sourced and properly referenced material from earlier versions can be replaced at will. --Guinnog 14:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Delete?

There is precisely one act (Marxman) mentioned on this page notable enough to have its own article so far. Suggest a serious amount of work, or failing that, deletion as non-notable? Bastun^{BaStun not BaTsun} 22:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Ignore the above comment. Knowledgeiskey is really turning the article around. Bastun^{BaStun not BaTsun} 09:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

One goes to 'Page not found', the other is a dead end and link to Paypal. Suggest this article is given up for dead and deleted. Emeraude 13:42, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

No objection from me. I would say Scary Éire and Marxman are somewhat notable (whether they'd satisfy WP:MUSIC, I don't know. But the 'Present/Future of Irish Hip-hop' section should be removed if the article is kept - nothing notable, and bad wikilinks abound. Bastun^{BaStun not BaTsun} 19:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Why has the reference to Dj Bosco and Rhymes Vital been deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sertone (talk • contribs) 12:58, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Because its not encyclopedic. Please see the following policies: WP:CRYSTAL and WP:MUSIC. The information you have added to the article satisfies neither. Following the actual release of an album, the information could be included if it satisfies WP:MUSIC - not until then. I am going to remove it again - please do not readd it.

This is Wikipedia - the encyclopedia anyone can edit. That does not mean you can add anything you want! If you are adding anything to this article, please first read Wikipedia's 5 Pillars, what WP is not, and notability guidelines, especially WP:MUSIC. Material that does not satisfy these criteria is liable to be deleted at any time. Bastun^{BaStun not BaTsun} 14:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
