Merger Proposal

This page for The Don (Nas song) was recently created. It has no sources and very little information for it to stand alone as an article, so I propose it be merged into this article since it is a song on this album. Comatmebro (talk) 06:49, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree; it's standard for singles, whether independant releases or as part of an album, to have their own pages on WP.--Chimino (talk) 05:07, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a policy or guideline that states that? That contradicts what WP:Notability (songs) says: "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song... Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." That policy supports merging. Comatmebro ^{~Come at me~} 21:22, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm adding Accident Murderers to the merge proposal for the same reasons. Based on WP:notability (songs) these song articles do not meet the notability criteria and are unlikely to expand beyond stubs. Comatmebro ^{~Come at me~} 06:25, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Accident Murderers

Salaam Remi did not co-produce this song. No ID is the only producer. I put the reference of the official tracklist. Not some random site that says otherwise. User 108.228.145.233 keeps undoing this and putting Salaam Remi back to the article. By all the conversations that he's been involved, he clearly is a disruptive user. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renangms (talk • contribs) 00:57, 12 July 2012 (UTC) There is nothing disruptive about what Ive been doing, Ive been citing my MANY resources & ALL of them have listed Salaam Remi as a co-producer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.228.145.233 (talk) 18:17, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review

With my revision to the article, I restored the Observer review. Regarding the publication's notability, XXL is for hip hop albums, whereas The Observer reviews all albums, which I'd think would make it an NPOV choice over XXL; the latter rates albums, or only hip hop albums in its case, higher than other critics [1]. In any case, the template as it is now is a more neutral representation of critics' ratings, and w/Slant's near-perfect rating included, XXL's would be a bit too partial to the few critics that gave the album more than a four-star, or equivalent, rating.

-With all do respect, Dan, that's bull. XXL does NOT rate all hip hop albums with high marks. The bias with Wiki editors is astounding. It's as if you guys don't want to show that one reviewer actually appreciated the album to its fullest extent. I think it's more "biased" to remove a critic's point of view and be so selective about it based on your own POV.~~
