On This Date In Hip-Hop

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can't find much (if any) coverage of this website. Sources given in the article are all unreliable, self-published, or don't mention this site at all (like the Billboard one). Nothing on Google News, nothing among the 31 Google results or the 91 for the abbreviation. Fram (talk) 08:16, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm fairly new in my page creation, I may have rushed through this process but here are more articles that are not self published. Do I add them here or to the actual page?


 * Comment: Add them on the actual page. TomCat4680 (talk) 08:54, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Ok, i've added links. I have more iheart media links but i'm tired. I will add them in the AM

I've also removed some categorizations at the footer. Please advise on what else I can do to improve the page
 * Comment: I added a tag describing what the nominator means by the sourcing problems. Also please sign your name to your posts on this page with four tildes: ~ TomCat4680 (talk) 19:35, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

ok thatnks for your help. I will check out your describing tag QTeeLatinaGurl (talk) 20:37, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

ok as i understand you tag,I need to add sources that speak on/about the website. There are a couple interviews and an L.A. weekly article published that I will post shortly. I just need to locate them QTeeLatinaGurl (talk) 22:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: That sounds good. Also maybe cut back on the Twitter and Instagram sources, that's what the nominator means by self-published. TomCat4680 (talk) 01:20, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

ok. I will pick the important ones. Thank you QTeeLatinaGurl (talk) 07:48, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

hello, I took some time to remove instagram and twitter sources. I have a question, if i am detailing following, is it necessary to have cite to back that up? if not then i have more instagram and twitter links to delete. I have also swapped out some for actual news articles. I am awaiting interview links, I should have by Monday. thank you for your time and tips QTeeLatinaGurl (talk) 02:04, 12 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment: Yes secondary and tertiary sources are always better than primary ones. TomCat4680 (talk) 19:11, 12 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete No independent, secondary and in-depth industry news are available to verify it is notable. Not a sausage. The first 10 references don't mention any significant details about the company as a product, nor a notable website. They are name drops, who is doing what where, some biography details about 2-pac. The second 10 references are much the same. As a corporation it probably falls WP:NCORP or at the least WP:ORG, which fails both is major way. Where are the independent, secondary and in-depth industry source that tell me it is notable. 12 of the refs are instagram or youtube and are non-rs. If I reviewed this on NPP it would post it as G11 as an advertisement. If I had to copyedit I would remove large chunks of it for fails WP:NOTADVERTISING.   scope_creep Talk  13:26, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Being used as a source or breaking news doesn't make it notable unless it is reported on by a secondary source.  scope_creep Talk  13:28, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   11:54, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I tried searching for references but didn't get anything which can be added. Ghits are mostly social media links. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 21:06, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
