- Keep this artist is credited on many other artist's prominent recordings. I have a COI in that while looking for info about this artist, I noticed a domain that was heavily-linked that they actually did not own-so I bought it cheap. (full disclosure) That link is not a part of the article. Yes this article was created by a paid-editing spammer who subsequently disclosed that on their page, (I still don't know exactly how I feel about that).....but 1)-we don't really know WHO paid to have the article created, so why "punish" the subject? I worked on the article a little, but as far as the references to track-samples and players, I really do not know what is WP-proper for artists in this category. I tweeked this up with category, NPOV, and fact-checking, but I refrained-from adding extensive youtube --or--any--youtube linking, like I said, I just don't know enough about musical artists to know what would be acceptable, so I am only linking like I would for a "regular" article. Internal links and connections on WP, and reliable sources.2601:C:6783:6A01:C80C:A620:F3FB:D718 (talk) 17:59, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- Comment So, basically, there are two keep votes from the same IP, who admits a COI, and whose best reason to keep is that the guy recorded with Waka Flocka Flame! Lol. Logical Cowboy (talk) 02:29, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
