Bugz

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't see how this meets WP:MUSIC or WP:GNG. He only released one album while alive and I don't see where that would make him notable. Prod tag was removed without reason (along with cleanup tags). Dismas |(talk) 23:58, 19 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I think releasing an album is notable. Have you ever released an album? Do you know how much work goes into the craft? Beyond having released a solo album of his own, he was a member of a rap group that released albums, making him further notable. This page should be kept. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.166.139.87 (talk • contribs)


 * I believe this page should be kept. To ensure this I have added a bunch of d12's awards. User:Hiya3101 —Preceding undated comment added 23:31, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep The article needs work and will never reach even good article status.  Bugz is most notable for his violent death .  He was criticized for espousing a gangsta lifestyle that glorified guns and violence by many outside the rap/hip-hop niche but revered by those inside.  He was (and is) imitated and memorialized.  Dozens of wanna-bes use his handle in theirs: New Bugz, Young Bugz, etc. after digging deep into Google results.  I agree he doesn't meet WP:MUSIC and WP:GNG but the article also isn't WP:NOT.  Although a borderline keep, I don't think the history of rap/hip-hop in Wikipedia can be complete without this article, hopefully improved.

 * Merge to D12. As this book, and others note his death and membership in D12, the only question is whether a standalone article is justified.  As far as I can find, the coverage on Bugz is in relation to D12 and so I conclude that a merge is the appropriate action. -- Whpq (talk) 21:11, 23 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep If there is any way that I can improve this article to standards that will ensure it will be kept, message me.Hiya3101 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:05, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to D12 as per Whpq. Stuartyeates (talk) 05:14, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to D12 as above. I could not find any coverage of Bugz as an individual prior to his death. This to me shows he was probably not notable except for the manner in which he died. Thus, given the WP:1E issues here, I think the appropriate course is to merge any encyclopedic material and redirect to D12. --Batard0 (talk) 12:59, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
