Grammy Award

@Lemongirl942: @Magnolia677: I have started this discussion to reach a consensus for Big Pun's Grammy Award nomination. I had changed the reference after being informed IMDb is not reliable source but now that has also been reverted. If the two people who keep reverting my edit would like to assist me in finding a suitable reference? If you perform a Google search for Big Pun many websites refer to him as Grammy nominated rapper.

Thank you for starting this talk page discussion. The best source here should be one which is reliable and secondary (preferably a newspaper which a reputation for fact checking) and which should clearly mention the album name and the rapper's name along with the news about the Grammy nominated album (such as the nomination category). This source in LATimes ~~satisfies all of these.~~ satisfies most, but not the category. A better source could be the Grammy website itself. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 19:14, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Smush123: Please don't be so quick to add it. As you see here, the source doesn't say which category it was nominated for. We need to find better references. Could you please self revert? --Lemongirl942 (talk) 19:17, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The LA Times article states "Rios' first album, "Capital Punishment," released in 1998 and featuring the hit single "I Ain't a Player," debuted at No. 5 on the national sales chart and sold more than 2 million copies, making Rios the first Puerto Rican rapper to sell that many albums. It also garnered a Grammy nomination" which would leave one in little doubt what the award was for. Smush123 (talk) 14:03, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
