Rapper Kirsnick Ball started making beats and developing rhythms in the seventh grade but didn't start taking music seriously until 2011^[1]. When he, alongside his uncle, Quavious Marshall, and Marshall's cousin, Kiari Kendrell Cephus, formed the rap group Migos. With Migos, he has collaborated with top artists such as R. Kelly, Gucci Mane, Busta Rhymes, Riff Raff, and more.^[2] Stanley Preschlack1 (talk) 20:36, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since last AfD

I'm not sure something has changed since Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Takeoff (rapper). Is being featured on a single that debuted/peaked at 65 on Hot 100 enough? The Delta episode doesn't seem encyclopedic. CC: @Amin:. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 17:01, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If a musician has a nationally charting single then he's notable. This reference is sufficient. Binksternet (talk) 17:46, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, something has changed. The previous article was more generally about Migos. This new article is focussed on Takeoff. I think that's an important factor. Sadly, there are not that much sources reporting on Takeoff apart from Migos, and I acknowledge I don't have a strong case to support keeping it, but nonetheless I think the current article is a keeper :).

Takeoff or no Takeoff?

This page keeps constantly deleted and recreated again. Should we just keep this page right now or delete it until further notice?

And just my opinion, he’s the best rapper on Migos. Kevon kevono (talk) 04:12, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kevon kevono: Unless you can demonstrate that he is notable outside of his participation in Migos, this article should redirect there. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 13:51, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IThis page is constantly spelling his name wrong. It’s Kirsnick not Kirshnik. Caylaratliff (talk) 18:58, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Last Rocket and Culture III ( and maybe his feature with Mustard on Pure Water)

Someone add something on Culture III and HIS ALBUM The Last Rocket. The features in it (most obvious Quavo and Daytona Foxx) Lilgundog (talk) 07:04, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reports of death

A number of users are adding that Takeoff has reportedly died. Per WP:BLP we should wait until this is confirmed in reliable sources before adding it to the article. All that has been provided so far is a report that there are "rumours" that he has been shot - this is not sufficient. WJ94 (talk) 10:15, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Worth putting a Timing-related message?

Nobody knows if he's dead or not. There is a video circulating on social medias but it's clearly not enough to be considered as a source. Is it worth putting a Template:Recent death or a Template:Current person ? Zaskoki1 (talk) 10:16, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Source on death?

https://iharare.com/migos-rapper-takeoff-shot-dead-at-club-over-dice-game/ This article says he was "reportedly" shot - hence it is not a valid source? ButterCashier (talk) 10:18, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Additional source: http://onsmash.com/music/takeoff-shot-killed-in-houston-quavo-also-shot/ The sources tend to say "unconfirmed" and "rumoured", "reportedly", "allegedly".

As you say, that first source only says he was "reportedly" shot and references "unconfirmed reports". The second seems a bit more solid but still seems to be relying on rumours - it explicitly says "We’re not investigators nor will we make any theories of what happened" and then directly people to Tweets about the alleged incident.

We should wait until a site like TMZ or an official Migos/Migos’ label’s outlet confirms anything R BJ0 (talk) 10:48, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
