Hip Hop albums by year

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

unmanageable list, appears to be the exact same as List of rappers' discography, already nominated for deletion here. Calliopejen1 15:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unmanageable and created as duplicate. --Tikiwont 09:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unmanageable, unsourced, unencyclopedic, redundant to "Year in music" articles, and appears to suffer from systemic bias besides.  Heather 19:21, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - unsourced, potentially vast, no objective inclusion/exclusion criteria. Moreschi Talk 19:24, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Jay-Z is OK with me, but what's missing? Shakira's 2003 Rotterdam concert live is missing, and anything by Shakira too. No green light for this hip hop article without Shakira. AntiSpanish or antiArab tendency? Please, recycle. greg park avenue 17:50, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hehe. I likewise object to the absense of Eedris Abdulkareem, Tony Tetuila, Ruggedman, etc.  AntiNigerian bias, anyone?  LOL.  (Seriously, though, many of our hip hop articles do suffer from an anti-African bias, and this one is no exception, which is what I was complaining about above.)  Heather 11:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment - As far as I see, an initial systemic bias would by itself not be a reason for deletion, unless it is a deliberate POV fork. In any case, the same question arises with respect to the idea of having articles of the type 'year in hip hop', which I mentioned as a possible alternative to Mr Green, the creator of the list discussed here.

 * Comment. IMO, the absence of non-American artists may be indicative of a slight systemic bias, but hip-hop is a predominantly American medium (and was an exclusively American medium at its birth). Therefore American artists should outnumber (by far) artists of other nationalities.  Other nations have hip-hop music, true, but it is much less notable. Calliopejen1 16:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Listcruft on basis of inclusion criteria being to wide and unmanageable. A1octopus 22:15, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Too broadly defined and nebulous to be managable or of use.—Ketil Trout (&lt;&gt;&lt;!) 22:47, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
