Untitled
Removed the line "In an interview in 2004, he commented about the reports of his overwhelming flatulence problem. He blamed the excessive farting on his lactose intolerance, saying, "I just can't put the milk down." for reasons that should be pretty obvious.
Blocksavvy
How come there's nothing about his new website, blocksavvy. It's the new myspace, but better! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.8.232.30 (talk) 23:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
removed the adjective 'former' from line about co-founding rocafella records. he sold his shares in the company but is still a co-founder.
Roc-a-Fella
Damon Dash is reviving Roc-a-Fella records with rapper Curren$y at the helm. Thought you all should know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.125.121.230 (talk) 23:39, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
WP:OFFICE
Hi all,
At the request of and in consultation with the WMF's legal department, this article and DD172 are temporarily courtesy blanked. Please don't re-add anything to them; we do not expect this to be a long term action. Philippe Beaudette, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:25, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
- Umm, its been a couple of months now, what is going on!?Jairuscobb (talk) 17:35, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- The protection log seems to say otherwise, as it was indef full protected. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 20:41, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
- Indefinite does not contradict temporarily. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 07:19, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- It doesn't contradict infinite either; it's unspecified. I would appreciate some clarification or at the very least a specified amount of time on the office's behalf. (I'm not LikeLakers) 24.1.42.121 (talk) 08:14, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- MediaWiki provides no way to express "a period not to exceed the life of the article's subject" in a machine-readable manner that I'm aware of. In any case, WP:BLP1E appears to apply, as the article DD172 has no hints of Dash's notability outside DD172. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 15:50, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

And on that note (BLP1E), why is it a courtesy blanking and not a courtesy redirect to DD172 now that the courtesy blanking of DD172 has expired? --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 15:50, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
- Seems like this article should well be on its way to being up again. Any updates from the office? (108.68.93.30 (talk) 22:48, 27 February 2012 (UTC)) - C.B. Nimmo

Dumb question, but...
... does anyone know in particular why this article was blanked and protected? Yes, looking through the article history and seeing the numerous allegations made against him backed by sources that render the article one big WP:BLP violation is pretty telling of the reason, but I want to know if Damon Dash has raised issue with the content of the article and complained to the Wikimedia Foundation about it or if you guys just decided on your own that it would be best to preemptively nip this in the bud before you had a legal case on your hands. In which case, wouldn't just be easier to weed out the problematic parts of the article rather than tossing the baby out with the bathwater? I mean, you guys didn't blank Conventional PCI just because it included a link to copyright-violating material, did you? I don't see why it couldn't be any different with this. Damon Dash is a (relatively) high-profile person, depriving people access to basic information about him is unfair. 70.52.77.66 (talk) 07:25, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
