Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Queens of Hip Hop
Let's take a look at the sources used in the article and what they support. {{cite web|url=http://www.hamptoninstitution.org/women-in-hip-hop.html#.Vw0lB7grK70|title=Now That's a Bad Bitch!: The State of Women in Hip-Hop  I The Hampton Institute|website=Hamptoninstitution.org|access-date=2016-04-12}} is an interesting look at the role of women in hip-hop culture, but it doesn't use the term "Queens of Hip Hop" at all.  It discusses Queen Latifah a little, and it quotes a Nikki Minaj song which generically refers to women as "Queens", but the article itself does not discuss queens of hip hop as a concept.  The Minaj song lyrics may provide support that the concept exists as a sort of primary source, but if that type of thing is what the article is relying on it is |original research and thus not appropriate for Wikipedia. Johnson, Leola. "The Spirit is Willing and So Is the Flesh: The Queen in Hip Hop Culture" Noise and Spirit: The Religious and Spiritual Sensibilities of Rap Music. Ed. Tony Pinn. New York University Press, 2003. is more promising.  If you have access to Project Muse, it's accessible online.  It does have extensive treatment the "queen" as a concept specifically referring to a certian type of woman in black American culture.  {{cite web|url=http://www.westword.com/music/queenz-of-hip-hop-is-bringing-up-the-next-generation-of-female-artists-7780585|title=Queenz of Hip Hop Is Bringing Up the Next Generation of Female Artists|last=Walker|first=Chris|date=2016-04-08|website=Westword.com|access-date=2016-05-03}} is about an event for female break dancers. Most of the other articles focus on specific individuals, such as biographies of Beyonce and Queen Latifah.  Many of the other sources do not have the word "Queen" in them at all. In short, the only source that actually supports the article is Johnson.  If someone can find more sources like the Johnson article, they could craft an acceptable article on this concept, but this iteration of the article isn't it
