message: He won it. Would be nice if it showed up in the article. You know just to demonstrate how versatile he is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.142.238.51 (talk • contribs) 
He was also co-MVP of the 2009 MLB Legends and Celebrity Softball Game, played in his hometown of St. Louis (he was co-MVP with college basketball coach Bobby Knight). I think this, along with the NBA celebrity game are important because sports are a key part of his life. He is quite athletic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.135.162.199 (talk) 04:25, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this article be moved?  The Nelly article should be the disambig page, shouldn't it? —  « hippi ippi » 09:07, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There was no objections, but that doesn't mean there's a consensus to move it. I'm contesting this move anyway. DiverseMentality(Boo!) 17:55, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

text: What you fail to understand is that if I'm objecting this move, you have no consensus. Note how Nas, Ciara, Michael Jackson, Curtis Jackson (which redirect to 50 Cent), are the main articles, but have hatnotes that direct users to disambiguation pages. That's because they are the most common people search when typing these names. Of course I can't back up my argument with statistics that Nelly is search for most, but you can't show me statistics he's not, either. Your argument against mine is that, and I quote from your talk page, You are 18 years old and rappers may be a big deal in your world, but to most of the people in the world they are a minor detail of teenage popular culture in Europe and north America and of no real significance in the greater scheme of knowledeg about this planet and the rest of the universe. I can easily counter that argument with You are not 18 years old and rappers are not a big deal in your world, so you feel the need that Nelly should be a disambiguation page. Just because you don't agree with my argument doesn't mean you can ignore it and deem it an invalid one, and it seems with that reasoning, you feel you have a consensus.

message: :Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *Support or *Oppose, then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
*Oppose: For two reasons. First, there sure are other people called Nelly, but this one is the most popular going by the name. As the article says "fourth best-selling rap artist in American music history" and "the number three Top Artist of the Decade". For the rest there is a good disambiguation page at Nelly (disambiguation), which I just added to the hat note to make navigation easier. Second, there is only one other person using the mononym Nelly (an Egyptian singer). The rest are called Nelly Someone, so people who look for their pages are most likely to type their full name. 2Flows (talk) 13:46, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, this was labelled a "Remix Album" however, it was an official release from Universal Music (his record company), not to mention, had separate singles for the release of the album ("Iz U" and "Tip Drill Remix" (E.I.) (featuring St. Lunatics))
The album should be listed in his list of albums.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DaVibe (talk • contribs) 21:07, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. Though it was argued that Nelly (given name) is primary by long-term significance, the consensus view is that the rapper is nevertheless the primary topic, due to how significantly he dominates the pageviews.
