List of Drake feuds

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A trivial list, that could easily be condensed into Drake. Koala15 (talk) 05:11, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - who is making these? —Мандичка YO 😜 07:18, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Very trivial indeed. This article is trying to make Drake look like he's in a Scarface movie and make it seem like everybody is against Drake. The article is way too exaggerated and dramatic. Just delete it.

 * Delete Who's next on this list A$AP Rocky, PartyNextDoor and Justin Bieber? Most of the supposed feuds on there are minor and irrelevant with people he has collaborated with and are friends with him.
 * Do Not Delete - Drake's feuds are numerous, long and complex enough to warrant a page, in my opinion. However, it may be possible to condense it into a very large section on Drake's personal page. Atomthegod (talk) 21:39, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, passes WP:GNG. Drake has been the subject of some notable feuds, as documented at that page and as such, this is a perfectly valid WP:SPINOFF of the main Drake article. It's not perfect, but it is fairly well sourced, with 45 sources and counting. -- Tavix ( talk ) 22:20, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, gotta agree. These are getting a lot of media attention (especially the songs that are being put out because of them), and there's too much information about them to really do them justice if we want to put them in the already long article. Charwinger21 (talk) 11:21, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Most of these beefs are not serious and many of these rappers follow Drake on Twitter and have backtracked their opinion. Check https://doesfollow.com/.
 * Delete completely These are all irrelevant feuds that have been resolved and are a publicity stunt. Most of these rappers "beef" with him for media attention then later say they are a fan of Drake. Look at these for example: http://www.bet.com/news/music/2014/09/12/chris-brown-on-ending-drake-beef-you-cant-hold-grudges.html

 * Keep - Well sourced and does pass WP:GNG. If not kept, should be condensed into main article. -- Dspradau   → talk   15:02, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Just delete. That article is ridiculous and pretty pathetic and is written like a gossip blog or gossip magazine. No offense and it doesn't contain additional references. All of the songs' lyrics are subliminal and don't do any name dropping and are unknown who they referring to. Please delete this ambigous article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.65.210 (talk) 22:58, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. It seems like a lot of the arguments against are WP:I just don't like it. It's fine if you think that the events are "manufactured" or "old", but that doesn't change the substantial media coverage (both now and when they happened) from both music news sources (like Rolling Stone and MTV) and more mainstream sources (like CNN and Time Magazine), and is not a reason to delete. Charwinger21 (talk) 05:40, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment This article is nonsense. Drake doesn't have serious beef with anyone. Most of these feuds didn't last long and have been squashed.
 * Delete - The overall theme here is: "Drake had a feud with Smith. Smith said/did (whatever).[1] Then Drake said/did (whatever).[2] Then Smith did/said (whatever).[3] Then Drake did/said (whatever).[4] Then Smith did/said (whatever).[5] Then Drake did/said (whatever).[6] Then Smith did/said (whatever).[7]" We could easily write meaningless "List of Donald Trump feuds", "List of Mark Twain feuds", "List of McDonalds feuds", etc. articles all day. Each would have lots of references, one for each thing each supposed side of the feud did or said. That the "controversy" is likely manufactured to generate press is immaterial. Each piece of Drake's supposed feud with whomever tells us nothing at all about the supposed topic of Drake's feuds. Yes, we have a lot of "list" articles. The best of them are lists of things there are already articles about and the inclusion criteria are breathtakingly clear. Lists of United States Supreme Court cases, for instance (this is actually a list of lists, but pick one, say List of United States Supreme Court cases by the Warren Court. There are articles outlining what a Supreme Court case is. There are articles for most of the individual cases. There are no meaningful questions as to what belongs on the list. Was Brown v. Board of Education decided by the Warren Court? Find a source of any depth about the Warren Court and it is in there. Numerous sources list Warren Court cases. The lists are all identical. How about Drake v. Meek Mill How many in depth sources about Drake or Mill discuss this? Where are the reliable sources listing all of Drake's feuds? If Drake disputes his credit card bill is it a "feud"? If he takes a stalker to court, is that a "feud"? He didn't like Clone Wars? (Who did?) Did anyone respond to his tweet about Jarjar? It's a feud! There simply isn't an article here because there isn't a clear topic here. Drake says something about someone else. They respond. If it's all a love fest, we don't care. If Drake and the other person disagree, though, it's a "feud"? - Sum mer PhD v2.0 01:46, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - None of his feuds have been really notable or relevant to hip-hop. 60% "He did that, diss songs, they're friends now". I highly doubt most of them are "beefs". Cornerstonepicker (talk) 04:35, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
