List of hip hop rivalries

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Un-encyclopedic, non-notable, trivial content. Full of alledged and unsourced comments littered with weasel wording. Delete as per the G-Unit feuds article. Lugnuts 19:55, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) At first I'm tempted to keep this and the other two below, and then I read the article. Poor unencyclopedaic writing, list that isn't really a list, too broad to be about a specific rivalry, too in-depth to be an overview, either vastly chop to make it into a list, or delete, merging any valuable content into specific artist's articles, if necessary. --ST47 Talk 20:03, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Unencyclopedic, redundant (a couple of the entries on this list can be found in the other "Hip Hop Rivalries" articles up for deletion, and as per my previous comment, some of these don't seem to even fit the term "rivalry".--Ispy1981 20:19, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom and G-Unit feuds AfD. --- Realest4Life 23:13, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep I'm not a fan of rap, but I am aware that the "rivalries" are an important aspect of that genre of music, which has a lot of one-upmanship, battling it out, etc. My knowledge is strictly OR of course, having watched the last few scenes of 8 Mile.  I'm not sure how often rap fans visit the Wonder Bread world of AfD, but as long as I don't have to hear it booming from a car stereo, I can live with it in Wikipedia.

 * Yes, in hip hop the rivalries and such are in a sense significant. Still, the significance of the subject of the list does not mean that the list itself is significant or necessary. I support the inclusion of a Hip hop rivalry article on wikipedia, but I don't think that we need a whole list of specific rivalries. Let anything notable be included in the articles of the respective artists. by the way, my vote is Delete. Calgary 06:02, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, per notability and BLP concerns and the lyrics are probably copyvios. Otto4711 04:21, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Sorry, creators, I like rap music, but I don't even know half of the rappers in that article. If some beef has an impact on the hip hop scene and can be sourced properly, create an article for it or note it on the rappers page, and let this list go. #29(talk) 07:08, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete- Although I didnt want the G-Unit Feuds article to be deleted, this should be deleted for the same reasons. --The-G-Unit-Boss 17:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, because of the widespread news coverage of several of the major feuds, including those that resulted in the deaths of some rappers (Biggie Smalls, Tupac, etc.). Definitely notable and definitely concerns well-known, national media-attention rappers.  Also, this list is hardly indescriminate or loosely connected, rather, it actually contains text as well that puts the subjects in their context, plus it can be easily sourced.  --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 18:08, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Some of the feuds that were mentioned in the G-Unit feuds article also received news coverage, but that wasn't a good enough reason to be kept. --- Realest4Life 20:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete If we were to list every single rivalry that occurred throughout the decades, there wouldn't be enough room for it in one article. The article is a breeding ground for unsourced info and OR. And in response to Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles' comment that some of these received media coverage, this info can easily be merged into their respective artist pages. The featured Biggie Smalls article is a good example. Spellcast 19:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
