[edit] Pimp_C

Fails to establish notability. That is possibly because the article doesn't explain what band this guy is in. --Radiant! 10:42, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Merge into UGK. Nateji77 12:47, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, article does not establish notability, possible artist vanity. Megan1967 02:03, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. You people are so full of it. UGK has sold over 2 million records. That means millions of people know who this guy is. You can't delete a page because you personally are not familiar with it. CPS 04:37, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into UGK this is a stub, so is UGK. A merge leaves us with 1 article thats improved.  ALKIVAR™ 06:09, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Cleanup. UGK has had six albums including a greatest hits album. All of these have charted on the Billboard HipHop Album Charts and most have made the top 100 of the Billboard album charts. They therefore qualify under the Wikimusic project guidelines. A search for "Pimp C" on Google shows 17,500 hits as well as 634 Google Groups hits and 2 Google News articles. It seems that he has a solo album coming out which suggests that he might qualify for an article in his own right. [1].

• Merge agree with Alkivar.--ZayZayEM 14:00, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or merge Kappa 14:58, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for meeting WikiProject:Music's guidelines for inclusion. Tuf-Kat 03:50, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to UGK. The group is notable, but this individual is not notable outside of the group's context. Cleanup needed. — Gwalla | Talk 23:51, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP! Pimp C and Bun B both appear on Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin'", a monster hit single in 2000. UGK is one of the most popular acts in the Southern U.S., and are signed to Jive Records. Pimp C is notable on his own because he was imprisoned in January 2003. I cleaned up the Pimp C and UGK articles; the Bun B article is next on my agenda. I know a lot (most?) of people here aren't American, but...what's with nominating articles by well-known rappers for deletion (see Lil' Scrappy VfD nomination below)? --b.
