Fails WP:UNDUE and WP:NOTE. Littlecarmen (talk) 22:20, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Comment: In what respects does it fail mentioned policies? You're being a little vague. (I'm the creator of nommed article)  Azealia 911  talk  22:22, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Creating an entire article discussing Banks' feuds and controversies gives this part of her life and career undue weight. The subjects is also not notable enough to have its own article. This topic should be contained to a small section in Banks' biographical article. Littlecarmen (talk) 22:28, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * It's never been seen as an issue with the multiple other pages revolving around a musicians controversies, especially considering those pages are based on less controversial artists (Jay-Z, Eminem, Drake) and I'm not sure how much you know about Banks, but in almost every instance on the internet in which she is mentioned, there's talk of her controversies. The article was initially made due to a massive 7,000 bytes of her bio article being taken up by these feuds, 2/3 as big as her "Life and career" section, and when I tried to be remove selective chunks, was met with editors telling me I was trying to improve her poor public image. As a compromise I created the article. I agree that some of the musicians listed in the article are throwaway sections, but I'd be happy with a selected merge as suggested, on the basis that we agreed on what to transfer with consensus to avoid further hassle.

 * The Jay-Z/Nas feud was a major event in the history of hip-hop but I don't think the Eminem and Drake lists are notable either. I would also support a selective merge. Which feuds do you think are the most noteworthy? I've only heard of her feuds with Iggy Azalea and A$AP Rocky. Littlecarmen (talk) 22:50, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Definitely Iggy Azalea, and possibly James DeWolf Perry. The A$AP Rocky event was very minor, she just alluded to the fact that he was gay, he never responded to her. There was also a note on an older version summing up all of the minor feuds she had with other artists that read: "Banks has been known for her public disputes with other artists on social networks; she has had minor online disputes with Kreayshawn, Dominique Young Unique, Lil' Kim, Nicki Minaj, Jim Jones, Angel Haze, Baauer, Diplo, Rita Ora, ASAP Rocky, Lily Allen, Lady Gaga, and Pharrell. &lt;ref name="BeefList1"> " which I think would be useful to re-add upon merge.  Azealia 911  talk  22:56, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure, Iggy Azalea, James DeWolf Perry and that sentence would be fine. Littlecarmen (talk) 23:07, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

All done, you have the green flag from me to delete.  Azealia 911  talk  23:24, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Selective Merge in to Azealia Banks - Some of this can be shoved in her article so not really seeing any reason to have it as a separate article.... – Davey 2010 Talk 22:29, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per Tarc - I'm a complete fucking idiot for not properly reading it!, It's all just Twitter bollocks which doesn't belong anywhere on this site!, – Davey 2010 Talk 02:17, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete, or more pointedly, nuke the fucking thing from orbit. My god, most of it is is a ranting list of Twitter fights.  Twitter!  An encyclopedia is not TMZ or perezhilton.com, this is not the place for this idiocy, and for precedent we have deleted this nonsense before, e.g. Dave Mustaine and Axl Rose.  Seriously, just say no. Tarc (talk) 00:33, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Christ, it's clearly been civilly decided to merge the more-important, relevant info, please calm down.  Azealia 911  talk  00:34, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete per Tarc; the language is a little rough but yes, even cut down to the most 'civil', this is pretty much 'artist hates everyone and everything and acts like a younger and female Archie Bunker...bring on the pageclicks!' that doesn't need wiki-classification for each incident. A merge shouldn't even be considered because what's in this article would pretty much make the main article so unbalanced it could be used as a catapult.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 01:53, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The merge proposal wasn't for the entire article to be copy/pasted into the main article, it was to add the main snippets in as little text as possible, I've pretty much added what I think's appropriately keep-worthy. As far as I'm concerned, delete away. What's all this talk of the article becoming unbalanced? I'm aware of the main policies on NPOV but I don't see how adding a select one or two majorly-reported controversial events surrounding a person is swaying any perception of the article one way or the other...

 * Speedy delete -, since you've endorsed the deletion, I've added the speedy deletion template so this does not need to stay open a full seven days and have people unnecessarily rip on the article when it's already been decided to delete it. If people have a problem with anything included in the Azealia Banks article then it should be discussed on the talk page, not here. —Мандичка YO 😜 03:25, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
