White Dawg

 * Prior VFD discussion : Votes for deletion/White Dawg/2005 May 25

this rapper is not notable and his annoying wiki edits are ruining our great encyclopedia. F White Dawg 18:01, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sup, BrowardPlaya? How does it feel to be up for deletion AGAIN? HAHAHAHAHA.... we're gonna keep putting this up until you get taken down. You have to win every time, and we only have to win once. That Bentley ain't yours. You ain't from no Westside. And you sure as hell have no right to call yourself a "nigga." Someone's gotta slap the teeth out your mouth, FOOL. I vote DELETE! Also I eat cock. TRU THUG 18:11, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

DELETE. This page has no business being on an encyclopedia. Keeping it up makes wikipedia look like a JOKE! Fan of REAL Hip-Hop 18:16, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - Artist had a Top 20 hit on the Billboard rap charts in 1999, thereby meeting WP:MUSIC guidelines for inclusion. I'm also seeing a possible personal vendetta/abuse of VFD here. Sockpuppet limit has been reached at two. --FCYTravis 18:18, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - VfD is a joke. Ashibaka (tock) 18:20, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Relistings should be valid but not within such a short period of time. Everyking 18:20, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. White Dawg is an embarrassment to Caucasians, the south, hip-hop, and himself.  That being said, he is, quite unfortunately, notable. jglc | t | c 19:36, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. As much as I despise (C)Rap music, this guy has over 16 million hits on Google.--Kross 20:11, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Hey now. No need to get offensive on rap music, there. After all, you do listen to Evanescence.jglc | t | c 20:17, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually, if you put quotes around it, you get under 900 total for the "WhiteDawg" and "White Dawg" variants. --Xcali 21:28, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * keep please this shouldnt be allowed Yuckfoo 20:44, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * KEEP. Yo, I see that tha haterz have been active lately. It's aight, tho... it's all gravy. I ain't gonna let it get me down. But if you foolz seriously have a problem with me, let's quit playing internet games and handle this in the streetz like real gangstas! You heard what I said?! BrowardPlaya 20:49, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. This justifies my dislike of the rap genre.--Kross 21:34, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. That's the exact same logic that a racist uses: In high school, a white teacher acted in ignorance towards me. Therefore, all white people are evil. All this statement does is justify your (and my) dislike (if not outright contempt) of this one guy. jglc | t | c 01:42, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Except that's a race, which doesn't define intelligence, and contain both intelligent and unintelligent people. Rap on the other hand... -- Natalinasmpf 16:15, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Agree 110% with above. -Hmib 20:27, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep, though I'd like to see the main picture replaced. The hand jesture is too easy to misinterpret as something offensive.  --Xcali 21:19, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, has already survived VfD. --Angr/undefined 21:47, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, has already survived VfD and does (just) meet the relevant criteria. --Jamieli 22:45, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep; on grounds that even if the article is presumed to be a waste of time, space and bandwidth, we're wasting more having to vote on it again and again and again. Samaritan 23:52, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Do a Request for arbitration or the likes if you have a problem with his edits, not another vfd. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 00:34, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Appears to meet Wikimusic criteria. Capitalistroadster 01:29, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per my previous vote on this. JamesBurns 06:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, bordering on speedy keep. This is the third VFD nomination on this article. I feel this is getting silly. This musician is notable. Sjakkalle (Check!)  06:39, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The user, on the other hand, has got to go. I agree strongly with CCrustacean. jglc | t | c 13:44, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Who, the nominator or BrowardPlaya? Everyking 15:17, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Can't we just wipe all of them out? (I wouldn't mind if "TRU THUG" was disappeared, too). jglc | t | c 15:19, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know of any wrongdoing...this nomination was a little questionable consider the short span of time that has passed, but that isn't something we really punish. Everyking 15:26, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I would usually agree - the base policy being not to jump on new users - but looking at the comments left by "F White Dawg" and "TRU THUG" makes me fairly certain that their only purpose on wikipedia is negativity aimed at one particular user - BrowardBulldog. For a nice sample of his activities on Wikipedia, just look at the VfD entry for Wiked Wood. He has also been known to vandalise entries by placing an image of "White Dawg" next to a Bentley automobile in completely unrelated articles (such as Wealth and Rich). jglc | t | c 15:29, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The original nominator of this article, "User:Fuck White Dawg", was infinitely banned from Wikipedia yesterday for vandalism, establishing an offensive accout name, and violating the 3RR. Why is it that the history of this page begin with jglc's edits and not that of the nominator?  Hall Monitor 16:18, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm confused: I don't think that it does. When I look at the History, it begins with UncleG's edits (x2), and then mine. jglc | t | c 16:20, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * After looking more carefully at the edits, I think what happened was that the previous VfD on White Dawg was still active; therefore, when it was nom'd again, people began adding comments to the bottom of the previous discussion. UncleG archived the previous discussion and re-posted the pertinent (current) comments all at once.  I made the first edit to the freshly reposted VfD discussion. jglc | t | c 16:22, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The edit history for User:TRU THUG, FCYTravis, Ashibaka, Everyking, and User:Fuck White Dawg should be merged back in. Hall Monitor 16:32, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree; Can you do it, though? I don't have the personal knowledge of how to do such a merge. Sorry, too inexperienced. jglc | t | c 16:37, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * STRONG KEEP Yall just hatin on White Dawg cos he be flossin his ice and drivin in his Bentley. Bitches. -BrowardDon 02:08, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Account created less than an hour ago. --cesarb 02:13, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Likely a puppet of BrowardPlaya, with absolutely no name creativity. The people on both sides of this are being extremely obnoxious. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 02:20, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * I would guess that the people on both sides are really on the same side: that is, they're just a bunch of puerile simpletons who want to use Wikipedia as their little internet playpen. The fact that one of them happens to be notable enough for a Wikipedia entry is probably the most truly unfortunate coincidence that I have ever encountered. jglc | t | c 05:25, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yet this user nominated 8Ball & MJG for deletion as "non-notable" --newkai 10:09, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - VfD vandalism ("we're gonna keep putting this up until you get taken down. You have to win every time, and we only have to win once.") Aecis 09:21, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - I personally hate all rap music and I've never even heard of this guy before, but he has about three albums out and is obviously notable, so it's idiotic to delete it. Cyclone49 10:01, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. He's obviously notable. Yup, our man White Puppy looks gormless enough for me to believe that he's popular. -- Hoary 08:11, 2005 Jun 18 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is just another attempt to take down a rapper's article because of personal dislike. Same is going on with 8Ball & MJG right now. newkai 09:28, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Let the artist stay. He don't have to be popular or even "good" to be on Wiki. --Anittas 18:49, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep in accordance with WP:MUSIC and mitigate VfD vandalism. Hall Monitor 21:29, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
