Wack MC

I don't believe that this article has any potential to become encyclopedic. It does little more than explain what wack means and there is no need to move it to Wiktionary because it already has an entry. Any information that might be added to this article could be put into rapping or hip hop music. Tim Ivorson 23:26, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Comment: I'm in the process of expanding this article in the event you wish to reconsider your vote. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 02:49, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I do believe that Wikipedia ought to cover wack rappers. I just don't think it deserves its own article. You and TimMony have made big improvements and I wouldn't mind the article remaining. However, I won't vote to keep, because I would prefer it to be merged. Tim Ivorson 11:57, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Keep: I think the entry represents more than a simple combination of an adjective and a noun. It's a concept in the hip-hop community that describes rappers that are seen as a threat to hip-hop culture.

There's a page on MC. Rename it to MC (hip hop), since MC is a disambiguation page, and then merge the contents of this article there. --Idont Havaname 01:27, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete: It already has a link to Wiktionary. Notice the pretty taxobox, though. (sigh) Anyway, it's not a term that bears expansion. Geogre 02:05, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Keep. I believe this term is notable beyond the Wiktionary entry for "wack" and am in the process of editing the Wack MC article. Google turns up over 12,000 hits for this term. ("Wack MC" = 9,800. "Wack Emcee" = 2,610 hits.) —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 02:49, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- "Fat bitch" gets 86,400 google hits, but we don't have an article on that do we? (Please don't be blue when I hit submit) anthony 警告 23:37, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Keep. A term that bears expansion. [[User:GRider|GRider\^talk]] 19:49, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
'Merge/Redirect to Rap' or something. --Improv 06:29, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
