This article needs to be deleted.
It has just as much relevance as a will.i.am and Britney Spears article or a Jay-Z & Kanye West article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.58.172.195 (talk) 00:55, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I thought about this problem when I saw that their work together had been removed from Macklemore's discography page. Although they have worked together a lot, I question whether they are a legitimate, separate musical act or just two artists working together. Sources referring to them as a "duo" don't really count, as a duo is often used to refer to any two artists working together on a piece. This really needs more discussion among other editors, as I suspect opinions will be quite subjective. I Am Rufus   &bull;  Conversation is a beautiful thing.  13:29, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I have seen Macklemore contend many times that they are a duo, and that all his work, performances and otherwise will include Ryan Lewis. However, since we have articles for both members, is it necessary to have this stub? Who knows how long this duo will last, MC/producer combinations never last forever and you cannot really compare their significance to Gang Starr or Eric B & Rakim. I just restored the content on his discography, there is no doubt in my mind that it should remain there. However, this is very very different from a will.i.am and Britney Spears article or a Jay-Z & Kanye West article, those were two solo artists collaborating, these two actually function as a group, their next album will also be a Macklemore & Ryan Lewis project. However, I am pretty sure if someone is looking for information, the previous dab page was much more helpful then this stub.  STATic  message me!  15:36, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Verb Tense
The lead of the article is in past tense as if the duo has disbanded, but the official status of the duo is they are on hiatus therefore the duo still technically exists. The article for One Direction, another group that has not disbanded but is still technically in hiatus, is in present tense. What would be the correct way to talk about groups on hiatus considering that One Direction has a lead in present tense but this article on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have a lead in past tense? You can't have two separate standards because both groups have the same official status. 24.180.22.224 (talk) 18:38, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
