A (relatively) contemporary music performer does not have the same weight as important emperors and revolutionaries. Ten years from now, the situation can be reassessed vis-à-vis recentism and geographic bias. —  AjaxSmack    19:42, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Reason why "entertainer" is used is because he was not just a rap artist. He was also an actor, among many other things. There's your response. If you want a precedent you could have asked. See Usher (entertainer) and Madonna (entertainer). Inclusively, here's the Wiktionary definition. Reasoning good enough?

replies: text: Well I don't see what is wrong with rap artist/rapper. Musician would be best if he did multiple genres but in terms of music all he did was rap so it is accurate.
Afterall the first  line of his article reads: "Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16, 1971 — September 13, 1996), also known by his stage names 2Pac and Makaveli, was an American rapper." Its simple, uncontroversial and straight to the point.
The guy above him 'Tupac A. Hunter' is listed as 'state senator from Michigan' rather than just 'politician' or 'American/Michigan politician'.
I think we should just leave it at 'rap artist' or change it to 'rapper ' if you prefer and move on to more interesting and important things to edit about on Wikipedia.--EchetusXe (talk) 20:49, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Tupac Shakur

message: Hey, guys. 'Tupac' should obviously redirect to Tupac Shakur. Tupac was and still is unbelieveably influential to hip hop and black culture...but he's not white, so I guess that's irrelevant to you people.Indiawilliams (talk) 18:55, 14 March 2008 (uTC)
:actually if you'll notice, none of the people on this list are white :) --81.158.147.16 (talk) 04:42, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: He was refered to as 'American entertainer' on this page before I changed it, I think that says quite a lot. EchetusXe (talk) 19:33, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: December 2009 move for Tupac page for Tupac Shakur

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The result of the move request was: Move to Tupac (name). We have clear consensus that the primary topic of the term "Tupac" is Tupac Shakur, so the base name will redirect there. Cúchullain t/c 15:27, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Tupac →  or  – and redirect to Tupac Shakur. Tupac Shakur is by far the most searched for Tupac. For example, in the month of January 2016, Shakur's article was viewed around 21,600 times per day, whereas Tupac Amaru II, in second place, was viewed 388 times per day, so Shakur definitely meets WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Even a simple Google search takes 8 pages to get to something not related to Shakur – and it's for New Mexico Tobacco Use Prevention and Control. Only on page eleven does something for another Tupac come up... the Votesmart.org biography of Tupac A. Hunter. While it is a very old name that has been around for centuries, most people using Wikipedia today are looking for just one Tupac – Tupac Shakur. MB298 (talk) 02:16, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
