 * Comment: it seems to me the focus of the article is all wrong – it talks mainly about artists of Hispanic descent making hip hop in America, rather than Latin American artists making hip hop in Spanish or Portuguese, which is what I would think of as Latin hip hop. Certainly South America has any number of artists rapping in Spanish, and many of them are famous and Grammy Award winners (e.g. Calle 13, Choc Quib Town, etc.) but without a specific definition of "Latin hip hop", many of these artists will be classed as reggaeton instead.

 * Keep The article might need work, but it is the good foundation of a solid article. C. W. Gilmore (talk) 15:39, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:UGLY is not a valid argument, try again. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:11, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The Latino foundations within of Hip-Hop are well documented in it's history and it's formation into a subsection of Hip-Hop, especially in Latin America are without question. C. W. Gilmore (talk) 16:17, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Other than your use of the wrong "its", none of this has to do with the article. As I said, it's just a slapdash synthesis of unconnected ideas. Just because there are hip-hop artists who are Latin American does not mean that "Latin hip hop" exists. It's like saying that "African-American country music" is a thing just because Charley Pride and Darius Rucker exist. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:36, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

 * The worst part is that I don't even like Hip-Hop and even I know the value of this article . C. W. Gilmore (talk) 16:49, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

 * As noted in the discussion by C.W. Gilmore above this is a very notable subject covered very substantially in reliable independent sources. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:14, 16 January 2018 (UTC)




 * Keep – Meets GNG per a source review. Perhaps add a copy edit template atop the article with an explanation of how it can be improved, along with further commentary on the talk page, instead of overtly deleting it. North America1000 14:25, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The sources prove that Latinos do hip-hop, not that "latino hip hop" is a genre. That's WP:SYNTH on its face. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:07, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
