Uncredited producers

[edit]

@Ss112: @Maintaining: Regrading the uncredited producers on the album, Ss112 questions the uncredited producers with this edit: where is the source that credits them for this? The reason the sources isn't there because I have removed them off the article because Twitter and Instagram are not reliable sources. After I restored them Ss112 said with this edit: Quite frankly, I'm sure we could find any bunch of randoms wanting to make a name for themselves claiming producer credit. Someone's social media where they make a claim that they produced songs on one of the biggest hip hop acts' albums is quite a big claim and needs more vetting and third-party verifiability than a primary source can give. I don't think the producers are lying in their social media about their involving in the album's production. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 22:27, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No need to tag or ping me, the article is on my watchlist. People who consider themselves "producers" try to insert their names on Wikipedia all the time, especially for hip hop projects. They hype themselves on their social media accounts and even link to them sometimes. I've reverted plenty of these. Personally, I don't know any of these producers—hip hop producers are so common these days so that's not a surprise—but regardless, it is a big claim to say "I produced a song off Migos' album but I wasn't credited". That needs backing up by better sources than primary accounts by the people involved. How do we know they're telling the (whole) truth? Are we just giving them the benefit of the doubt? This needs fact-checking by journalistic sources. Ss112 05:02, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree with you. I'm not a fan of using Twitter or Instagram as reliable sources because they are not reliable to begin with. My main problem with the album that it didn't come with a booklet on iTunes, so I can see the album's credits there, but we only see the credits on Tidal.
