City Boy[edit]

The page is created by a user under the same name as the person depicted. Autobiography. He is ultimately non-notable. His album is a hoax. Got a fake semi-protected template. His picture is a self-shot one. The whole "article" resembles a MySpace page rather than a lexicon entry. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me} 20:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This nomination was made while the article was in a state of vandalism. It has subsequently been reverted to its pre-vandalism state. Sancho (talk) 07:01, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - A narcissistic person's own self-promotion page. "Please Dr. Dre sign me!!!" Lajbi ^{Holla @ me} 20:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There seems to be dozens, if not hundreds, of articles about rap "mixtapes" that could stand similar paring. -- TedFrank 20:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's true. I created a category to keep them under my scope. I'v brought up the idea of fromattin those pages in WP:Albums and WP:Music and noone seemed to bother. If you want to help me with them please contact me on my talk page, because this Afd debate is about something completely else. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me} 21:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete As per User:Lajbi. I would have {{speedy}} tagged it.--Anthony.bradbury 20:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are all part of the "rap crew" and their "mixtape" or whatever:

Votes count on all from this point on. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me} 20:15, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revert and block the creator indefinitely for serious vandalism The City Boy page has overwritten a legitimate entry (the last 'genuine' version). I strongly suggest someone go through the creator's entire edit history to see what other vandalism they've carried out. - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've already done it. "Only" creating these fake articles. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me} 21:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revert City Boy to the version identified by Iridescenti. Weak Revert OR Delete TC (Artist) to this version (which may also qualify for deletion anyway). Delete all other articles and related images. Self promotion, conflict of interest, and apparent failure to meet WP:MUSIC. If kept, TC, Timmy C, and TC Smith need to be merged, they appear to be the one individual. -- saberwyn 21:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revert - Yes. I've just come to the same conclusion. The TC page has a previous version but that is also completely non-notable but has to have its own separate debate. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me} 21:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the page describes the charted UK band, I hope the page will stay. I just listened to my "City Boy" album and wanted to learn more about the band. The page answered all my questions. It should stay.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolph Yehudi (talk • contribs)

Comment Either the AfD tag should be removed from City Boy or there should be a note at the top of this AfD explaining the discrepancy. Right now it's a wee bit confusing. Natalie 04:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep City Boy and re-list the multiple previously related pages listed above. Sancho (talk) 07:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Done. To the admin : please don't count this vote on the stacked multilisting. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me} 08:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

City Boy has been denominated from voting (and reverted). To the admin deciding to close the debate : please consider to block Cityboy85021 for serious vandalism for overwriting the article (unless we couldn't be sure it won't happen again when we put out the article from our watchlist).

Delete the multilist. Sancho (talk) 08:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete - all. They are nothing but teenage wannabes' joke. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me} 08:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
