Talk:Kellee Maize

Stylistic
Hello! It seems I'm the first one to make a talk for this article. I'll state my concerns, although I don't think anyone will be reading this for a while. First of all, this page doesn't follow Wikipedia style. Things like "Aligned Archetype, released in January 2010, is Kellee's sophomore album featuring the sounds of Dub Step, Hip Hop, and Baltimore Club, behind spiritually inspired lyrics.", for example. We can't say 'spiritually inspired lyrics'. The article just feels really partial - it almost sounds like something from a promotional website. These lines "When Kellee was born her biological parents could not keep her and she was quickly adopted by her loving parents. Being adopted, Kellee often felt alienated growing up, and dealt with deep seeded issues of abandonment. Little did she know that this would be a powerful influence in her identity and drive to succeed." This is what Kellee might say about herself - we can't present it as fact. We need to make it clear that this is what Kellee is saying. So, I'll go through it, check the references, and make things more clear. I'll also try to find some stuff on her reception beyond her Frostwire download count. I'll try to find negative as well as positive reviews, since the article is quite one-sided. If I have time I'll also see about finding some appropriate pages to add links to and if I can do that I'll remove orphan status. Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong, I'm very inexperienced.

 * You are absolutely right. The article was a giant ad, and that's not what Wikipedia (or any encyclopedia) is about. I removed the promotional information and reduced the article to the essential information. To verify how long and commercial the article was, see the articles from female rappers Charlie Baltimore, Rasheeda and Salome - they are all short and sweet.

 * The promotional information was returned to this entry. It has been reverted to its most recent state. Millionmilesinexile (talk) 11:09, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Image copyright issue
I removed the image that was placed on the article because it was taken from a site without authorization (see http://pigeonsandplanes.com/2010/06/video-kellee-maize-big-plans.html/kellee-maize-lady-gaga). UltraEdit (talk) 01:56, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Recent Edits/"Road to Roo"
One user continues to censor/remove new content to this page, despite the fact that there is clearly evidence that the information provided is both accurate and relevant. There has been a full-fledged controversy and backlash over Maize's cheating in the 'Road to Roo' contest, and I see no reason that the information shouldn't be contained in this otherwise self-serving article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.112.147.128 (talk) 05:03, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Is that facebook source the official page for the contest? In general, facebook cannot be considered a reliable source because it is self published.  Also, it is not 'one user' it is now two. Syrthiss (talk) 11:24, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Written by Kellee? Irrelevant?
I have a feeling this page was mostly written by Kellee Maize, and I wonder whether she's relevant enough to even have her own Wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.164.107.227 (talk) 22:14, 18 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I have the same feeling. UltraEdit (talk) 04:23, 21 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Should we include it in the AfD list? UltraEdit (talk) 04:26, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Parking recently inserted problematic text here
We'd need a solid source for this text that was added by an IP:

"recently found out that she is the daughter of 80's teen heart-throb, Jimmy McNichol, Kristy McNichol is her Aunt. Jimmy Alludes to it on his web page "Finding Jimmy""

His web page isn't the best source, and all it says is this: "his connection to blond-haired bombshell Kellee Maize, the top female rapper on Amazon." If this is to be added to the article, we'll need a better source for the information. TimidGuy (talk) 09:28, 5 October 2013 (UTC)


 * OK, there's this. I'll add something. Spicemix (talk) 20:48, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
