thread_title: Hip hop?

message: Is all wrong. I'm changing it. "The famous," "the Big Apple," etc. do not belong on Wikipedia. They are colloquialisms.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.57.101.3 (talk) 05:13, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And probably written by himself, friends, or someone he hired. Why is this even on Wikipedia? Wikipedia should not be a tabloid for the assistants of passe rappers. I changed the tone, which made me want to vomit. Now, I will look to submit this article for deletion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.57.101.3 (talk) 05:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tone 

message: The unsigned comments above express appropriate sentiment regarding the tone of the article, but deletion is unwarranted.  Bentley, thought previously a personal assistant for Diddy, is now a significant hip hop artist in his own right, with a new album under the G.O.O.D. label, a featured spot with the track C.O.L.O.U.R.S. in Kanye West's recent "Can't Tell Me Nothing" mixtape, and prominence in major news outlets, including the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/21/fashion/21UMBR.html?ex=1395205200&en=8f66fde94fc83b72&ei=5007&partner=USERLAND.  The posts above seem to take issue with the quality of Bentley's work, but the fact that Bentley is a prominent figure is sufficient to warrant a Wikipedia page, and the above poster's personal musical preferences are not relevant.Anuraagc (talk) 08:42, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improvement in tone is laudable, but deletion is not appropriate 

message: This is not an accusation of a crime. This is a discussion about whether or not we should discuss the possibility of adding Fonzworth Bentley as a possible suspect in Wallace's murder. Many people point out the similarity between Bentley and the police composite sketch as seen below:
Exhibit A, Biggie's murderer's composite sketch: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/76/Composite-of-BIG-shooting-suspect.jpg
Exhibit B, Bentley's new show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:From_gstogents.jpg
Exhibit C, random Bentley shot: http://www.courier-journal.com/blogs/vel16/uploaded_images/fonz-768179.jpg
Know what i am saying? --Josecarlos1991 (talk) 07:37, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Only if you have a reliable, verifiable source that has named Bentley as a suspect. The above links make no mention of where that "sketch" came from. That, along with the fact that's just a link on Wikipedia, and the "suspect" has a bowtie, creates the appearance that you're merely attempting to be make a joke, which is not what these Talk Pages are for.

replies: text:  my brotha, it aint no joke, that sketch is the actual one that was made by the LAPD --Josecarlos1991 (talk) 19:55, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: And if you can document that the LAPD considers hims a suspect with a verifiable, reliable source, then by all means do so. Nightscream (talk) 14:10, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Should we add Fonzworth Bentley as a possible suspect in the murder of BIG? 

message: Every link I find on wikipedia pointing to this article lists Bentley's given name as Derek Watkins. Perhaps some mention of this should be in the article? Is it a source verification problem? -- 72.177.83.171 (talk) 08:31, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to put it in the article, then it indeed needs a reliable, verifiable source. (Btw, new posts and threads go on the bottom, not the top.) Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:00, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
