[WikiEN-l] Very odd goings-on concerning Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent material

Tue Dec 27 18:27:58 UTC 2005

A Snoop Dogg bootleg or unofficial compilation came up for undeletion
recently, having obviously been deleted in error at AfD.  I undeleted
it and so did David Gerard.  Now someone has listed every single
article on unofficial Snoop Dogg albums for deletion--an active that I
can only describe as extremely stupid.

An attempt to merge the material--nearly all of which can be verified
on official websites of reputable companies is now subject to a
deletion listing.  A similar, though, smaller, campaign centers around
the unofficial released of Snoop Dogg, and involves listing for
deletion among other items an article about the work "50 Cent is the
future", which was one of two independent works produced by 50 Cent
when he lost his record deal and is credited by 50 Cent himself with
bringing his work to Eminem, who signed him to Shady Records.

I fear that this constitutes a deliberate campaign to remove from
Wikipedia a significant material about major rap artists.  I find the
actions in trying to remove this important material vindictive and
impossible to explain.
