Women in hip hop

It would definitely be possible to write a real article about this topic, which is why I'm not just speedying it outright -- but this, as written, is more like the thesis statement to a undergraduate essay than an actual encyclopedia article. And indeed, its only source seems to be a university course syllabus, but even that's locked behind a login screen and thus impossible for any Wikipedia reader to verify. I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody is prepared to tackle rewriting and sourcing this into a real encyclopedia article -- but in its existing form there's nothing keepable here whatsoever.

 * On one hand, I am in favor of deleting this to encourage the creation of an appropriate article on this topic. On the other hand, I am also tempted to redirect this to Hip hop, since that article discusses various issues relating to sex and gender in hip hop. Either way, this article shouldn't remain in existence in its current state. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 06:42, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete at best and restart if there's anything better for a better article. SwisterTwister   talk  05:25, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * There are some reasonable redirect targets, including Women in music (though Hip hop may work fine). I'll see if I can clean it up a bit. edit: on reflection, there's not much there but a paragraph or two. It's a reasonable search term, so I'd prefer redirection.

 * Redirect to Hip hop as R with possibilities. Women in music is not a suitable target as it only contains a single passing mention of hip hop. sst✈  05:05, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
