You promised to stop nominating articles for deletion just four days ago. Your deletion nominations are way too often partially or completely invalid and show a problem with your application of . I have no idea how you can only find "unreliable tabloid features" when a simple Google Books search immediately finds https://books.google.be/books?id=B9gVDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA193&dq=mtv+%22yo+momma%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiCz5uWpfzWAhXGKMAKHZZVBzoQ6AEILzAB#v=onepage&q=mtv%20%22yo%20momma%22&f=false this: "Talking 'bout Your Mama: The Dozens, Snaps, and the Deep Roots of Rap" by Elijah Wald, Oxford University Press, 2014 (I guess this is not a "tabloid feature"?): "The most ambitious and influential dozens showcase was MTV's ''Yo Momma''..." As of 2017, it is still being used as a notable example of insult shows, like https://books.google.be/books?id=sRIxDgAAQBAJ&pg=PA84&dq=mtv+%22yo+momma%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiCz5uWpfzWAhXGKMAKHZZVBzoQ6AEIYjAJ#v=onepage&q=mtv%20%22yo%20momma%22&f=false here, in "A Slap in the Face: Why Insults Hurt - And Why They Shouldn't" by William Braxton Irvine, Oxford University Press. When someone who co-hosted the show dies, this is deemed important enough to be the title of his obituary in "Entertainment Weekly"http://ew.com/article/2015/10/28/sam-sarpong-dead-mtv-yo-momma-host-dies/ and for news stories throughout the world (https://www.televizier.nl/categorie/amusement/acteur-presentator-sam-sarpong-pleegt-zelfmoord.26893.lynkx Netherlands, but also Spanish, French, Danish... stories). It is referenced regularly, even ten years later, in all kinds of sources, as the example of rap-insult-dozens shows, e.g. in this http://www.purepeople.com/article/yann-barthes-un-gangsta-qui-chauffe-les-battle-entre-politiciens_a93962/1 French article. And all of this isignoring contemporary articles like the adweek one presnet in the article, or this http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/03/arts/television/talkin-trash-with-wilmer-valderrama-creator-of-mtvs-yo.html lengthy NY Times interview about the show
