message: Doesn't it just make the article ugly, instead of concentrating on the creative work he is doing?  Mattisse(talk) 02:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Concentrate on the work he has done:, ,  plus the footnotes in the article note more.  Mattisse(talk) 02:36, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Guest appearances are the essence of Nate Dogg. He had no successful albums (and some of them are of the same tracklist as you can see above in the discussion) but had very successful cameos. And allmusic.com is really a bad source for this. BTW this is the only complete list of songs I found on the internet. Lajbi Holla @ me 10:20, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there some way you can verify that? WP:V is a non negotiable requirement of Wikipedia, so if you could find some unbiased, reliable, third party sources stating that, it could remain. Otherwise, per Wikipedia rules, any editor can remove material that is unsourced. I realize allmusic is not a good source for Nate Dogg, but at least it is something. And the fact that he is credited with contributing to over sixty chart singles is certainly significant. But the undocumented stuff detracts from his importance for the general reader, and Wikipedia articles are supposed to be for the general reader. Instead the article tends to look like a POV fanzine site rather than an encyclopedia article.  Mattisse(talk) 13:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A simple alphabetical order list doesn't make the page a fanzine. And there is a link to it already at the header, but I'll add one more. Lajbi Holla @ me 16:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Long Beach, California singer Nate Dogg, who had a stroke last last December, has unfortunately had another stroke yesterday. (9-17-08)
The 39 year-old was left paralyzed from that stroke and reports say that this one is even more serious.
Can someone add something about Warren G getting interviewed and mentioning many important facts about his health, future albums and later plans. Interview here: http://www.rapbasement.com/wu-tang/082109-warren-g-talks-about-how-nate-dogg-is-doing-plus-new-music.html

replies: text: I wouldn't call him a singer. The style of the hooks might have been "singing", but the hooks where still - at their core - raps. I do not support putting "singer" into the infobox. Strikerforce (talk) 18:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That's why I'm calling him a singer and rapper!--Supergamer345 (talk) 18:52, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you've missed my point. Specifically, my point was that the hooks might (as in, it could be called that by some, but it is open to one's interpretation) have been of a singing style (again, it could be open to one's interpretation), but his rise to notability was as a rapper. I would challenge you to find a reliable source that refers to him as a singer before you insert it into the infobox again. Strikerforce (talk) 18:56, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I appreciate the reference, but still do not support the word "singer". As I've stated, "singing" is open to the beholder's interpretation. Show me where The Source, Vibe, or other hip hop based publication calls him a "singer" and then I'll be more convinced. Strikerforce (talk) 21:10, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
