Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because there are enough articles and sources to suggest notability. --Myxomatosis57 (talk) 18:07, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The previous rationales for deletion appear to be correct; however, considering the number of sources referring at the subject is in flux since the mixtape's release, it should at least be discussed on the articles for deletion subpage, rather than being speedily deleted. -Myxomatosis57 (talk) 18:13, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Playboi Carti is not a member A$AP Mob, so his redirect should go to List of current Interscope Records artists. Goforth studios (talk) 20:38, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * He is an associated act for ASAP Mob and as such he has more ties to them over the List of current Interscope Records artists. —  IVORK  Discuss 05:00, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

He is a member of the Mob, A$AP Rocky, Carti, Bari, Illz, Ferg and Lou have all confirmed this on numerous occasions Cash Carti (talk) 00:04, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Genre Suggestion
I do think that Playboi Carti, as well as other mumble rappers like Future, should be classified as Mumble Rap under their genres. I recently edited the page to say Mumble Rap, but it was removed due to not reaching a general consensus. Mumble Rap is not a pejorative term in any way because it describes how the music sounds. It is a type of hip hop music where the artist mumbles the lyrics. This page even states in his genre section that he is classified as Mumble Rap, so I don't know why it hasn't been changed yet.

In Playboi Carti’s early life he was raised in Riverdale, Ga and he attended Riverdale High School in Riverdale, Ga. He did not attend North Springs High School, that piece of false information should be removed. Xavier221 (talk) 21:34, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Whole Lotta Red expected in 2019
Under the career section, someone stated that Whole Lotta Red is expected to release in 2019. It's 2020 and has yet to be announced. Just thought somebody should edit that out Hanoimenace (talk) 12:06, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Added Trillwave(Cloud rap) to Playboi Carti subpages and bio
So this should be an easy one. I found a link that directly references to Playboi Carti music having a "lofi" rap sound. Other than that it should be obvious that he's a repution for making this kind of music.

Carti himself has confirmed that he was born on September 13, 1995. But whenever the correct year is put in it keeps getting reverted (specifically by this user). Please change it back. 71.114.10.101 (talk) 04:29, 2 July 2020 (UTC)


 * ❌. Your twitter link shows Carti writing "17 on the 13th" without any context except the date of September 1, 2012. Something like that needs interpretation from WP:SECONDARY sources to confirm he was stating his upcoming age and birthday in 2012. But when we turn to secondary sources we see stuff like XXL saying "Happy 20th Birthday" in 2016 or Hot New Hip Hop hosting a short bio page that says September 13, 1996. Your request here does not outweigh the two online magazines. Binksternet (talk) 08:39, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

While I was reading (or re-reading, rather) this section, when I put my mouse over Solange's name, it wasn't a link to the singer, it was instead the link to this.

Birthday again
The archived version of the XXL reference says he was 20 in 2016 (which I only just looked at, assuming it was dead due to the presence of the archived version. The current version says he was 22. Ssense says was born in 1996. Added both to the infobox/lead. FDW777 (talk) 17:22, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Actually the live version is just bad article recycling by XXL. It's a totally different story, obviously not written in 2016 as the publication date says since it's referring to 2017 and crucially says Just a bit under a year later, Carti dropped off his debut album, Die Lit. That album came out in May 2018. The publication date is simply wrong, so I've removed the live article to avoid confusion. FDW777 (talk) 17:29, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Hairdresser allegations
If you've been keeping up with Carti you most likely know that his former hairdresser 'outed' him as being allegedly bisexual or gay. Are these allegations substantial enough to make it to the article, or should they be added later when more information's materialized from Carti and his allies?

His public records says he was born in 1995.
1995 is more believable than 1996. He obviously wasn’t born on Tupac’s day of death. His public records says he is 26 not 25.

Jordan Carter was born in September 13th, 1995. It is a common fact that he was born in 1995 and not really 1996 like his wiki page says. He used to say ue was born on the day Tupac died but that was some form to create some hype around himself in the early days of his career.

On his last song "H00DBYAIR", released through Instagram on his alternative account he confirmed he was 24 when he had his son Onyx, in April 2020. Then he says he had 27 when he had his daughter, Yves, this year, confirming in fact he is actually 28 years old despite the 2Pac joke.

Also, we have an photo of his ID Card and it says he was born on 1995. There's too much. Probably you guys are not going to edit his page and put his real age but I tell you guys please annalyse this thing cause 1996 isn't right.

Playboi Carti was born in 1995. His arrest video shows him saying this.

 * @EphemeralPerpetuals Firstly, this is a primary source, and secondly, he was arrested and could have made a mistake about the year. All sources on Wikipedia mention the year 1996. And there are new sources as well. This is not a reliable source. Again, the sources in the article are all about 1996. Moem-Meom (talk) 11:44, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * While I agree that the vast majority of sources state Carti's birth date is 1996, I think it's hard to ignore that he himself stated his birth year was 1995 to police - I don't think that's something you easily forget? I'm tempted to bring this entire dispute to the dispute resolution noticeboard because it's gone on far too long, and I'd like to have a discussion with an uninvolved third party and gain consensus.

 * Good, glad we've come to that conclusion. Will be sure to revert any vandalism towards it in future. I'd like to revoke my former comments here - retrospectively, a conversation with a single user does not provide consensus.EphemeralPerpetuals (they/them) (talk) 22:21, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @EphemeralPerpetuals There is no consensus on the 1996 date that is currently in the article. As you stated, a conversation with one user does not make a consensus and as far as I can tell, the date has been added based on the BLPN discussion. I disagree, and contest the date.
 * My advice would be to add both, to prevent edit warring. The date itself (September 13) is seemingly not disputed, but the year is. Per WP:DOB, both dates should be included in a footnote along with the fact they are disputed if we are to include the 1996 date. However, I think the tweet meets the WP:DOB requirement of a self published post from a verified social media account (See the lengthy RfC that is at the end of the listed link, regarding social media accounts.)
 * Awshort (talk) 18:03, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * 1996 has been in the article for a considerable time, and is properly referenced. There very much is a consensus to exclude 1995. It does not rely on the opinion of one or even several editors, but enjoys broad consensus at WP:BURDEN, WP:SPS (more explicitly explained at WP:BLPSPS) and finally at WP:RSPYT (in particular Most videos on YouTube are anonymous, self-published, and unverifiable, and should not be used at all; A random video on a random Youtube channel can not be used a reference, especially for claims about a living person. Use of that specific tweet for a claimed date of birth was previously rejected by at Talk:Playboi Carti/Archive 1. Even if that tweet was to be used, it would result in the article having to use a "1995 or 1996" construction due to WP:BLPDOB requiring that editors must not include only one date/year which they consider "most likely", or include merely a single date from one of two or more reliable sources. FDW777 (talk) 18:37, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Right, 1996 has excellent referencing. The 1995 sources are tweets or videos, which are much less reliable than magazines and news agencies. In February 2023 when he was arrested for domestic abuse, the media said he was 26, which means he was born in 1996, turning 27 later that year on his birthday in September. Same thing back in 2019 when he was charged with vandalism in the UK; the media said he was 22 in January 2019. The 1996 sources are steady throughout his career. Binksternet (talk) 19:04, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Binksternet While I will agree that most print magazines state his birthday as being the same date that Tupac died (1996), there has not been anything from the subject himself stating 'My birthday is this date on this year', other than the tweet and the YouTube video which state a different date. Per WP:DOB, a verified social media account can be used for statements about the subject, if by the subject themselves. Several other editors have voiced an opinion on this with regard to the 1995 date over the last few years and more recently, and where there is a dispute regarding a date of birth from reliable sources, both dates must be included per WP:DOB, as well as WP:V If reliable sources disagree with each other, then maintain a neutral point of view and present what the various sources say, giving each side its due weight.
 * @FDW777
 * You stated 'it enjoys broad consensus' per several policies and guidelines, which I disagree with, as well as wanting to point out WP:CCC even if that were the case, which judging by the fact this was brought to BLPN very recently, it doesn't seem there was a clear consensus either way.
 * WP:BLPSPS - do not use self published sources...unless written or published by the subject of the article.
 * WP:BURDEN asks for a reliable source, which a self published source from a verified social media account is considered, as noted above.
 * And while the YouTube video itself should not be used to add the birthday on its own, it does support the tweet, and shows disputed dates of birth.
 * Awshort (talk) 19:49, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * "17 on the 13th" is a tweet requirinig interpretation to even suggest it refers to a birthday. As you would know, if you had bothered to read the objection I linked to. Unleds you have reliable references to bring to the table, this discussion is going nowhere. FDW777 (talk) 13:54, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Please change September 13, 1995 or 1996 to September 13 1995. Playboi Carti’s birthday is September 13 1995, not September 13 1996, he has said this himself to a police officer prior to getting arrested while being detained and questioned, additionally there is a twitter post from 2012 stating he is turning 17, which adds up to him being born in 1995. Also, there is a photo of his identification card available online, which would be incredibly difficult and pointless to fabricate. Starting in 2017 there seems to have been some confusion regarding his true age. It seems that an article published in November 2017, which was written prior to September 13 2017, initiated this confusion. On top of this, his apple music profile lists his birthday as September 13 1995, which is something an artist’s label controls themselves. It is known within his fan base that he frequently lies about his age, amongst various other things regarding his musical career.

Carti birth year dispute
After finally having a minute to pull up the sources for this, there is neither a consistent date of birth for 1995 or 1995, so neither can be preferred over the other per WP:DOB. All articles below point to a September 13, 1995 date of birth, and all are considered reliable.

Looking over the sources in the current article regarding the birthdate being 1996, the XXL one conflicts with their prior statement below and should not be included in favor of one date versus the other. And while Billboard has been considered a reliable source regarding album data, it has never been brought to RSN regarding BLP data (from a quick glance of the previous discussions for it), and per WP:CONTEXTMATTERS should not be included, since reliability is not inherently carried over for everything a source provides. I have added a note to the article to show the discrepancy, and hopefully the article can be unrestricted since this seemed to be the biggest problem with the back and forth of edits.

 * The supplied sources do not settle the matter. What I'm seeing is that we have roughly equivalent sources saying 1995 versus 1996. That means we cannot state one of those years in Wikipedia's voice, dismissing the other half of the sources. Rather, we must state both years, using all the sources.

 * @Binksternet I agree, that is what I attempted by adding the note to the bottom and leavjng the included reference that stated the date of September 13, 1996 as well, since it was in an interview and seemed reliable. And has a point, that none of the above specifically state a September 13, 1995 birth date, but they do cause a conflict regarding the year of birth since they all point to a birth date prior to 1996.

Playboi Carti was born on September 13, 1995, NOT 1996. That is false information. 2600:8806:A800:1840:94BF:3837:2027:93C1 (talk) 20:48, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Add him to the Category:Age controversies category. His birth year keeps changing to 1995 or 1996. 2600:6C50:7EF0:71E0:28E3:810D:CB03:E6F (talk) 20:44, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

 * A court document is a reliable source, is it not? Some wikipedia articles are relyed on the Source being court documents. User:IPhoneRoots 11:51, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
