Homophobic twitter messages
[edit]I have added some text to say: "In 2014, it was reported that he had "come under fire" following a series of tweets over several years that asked whether followers thought it less embarassing to have, "...a 14yr. Old Visibly Gay Son Or a 14yr. Old mentally Retarded son." (sic)" Comments welcome. Contaldo80 (talk) 09:39, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- It is undue weight and not notable. Do you really think these dumb little offensive comments on Twitter will remain noteworthy for years to come? Wikipedia is not a newspaper or newsblog. STATic message me! 15:22, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- Editors please note, homophobic comments made by individuals and which attract media attention are "not notable". If an individual made racist comments then would they be more notable? I notice that several wikipedia articles do refer to celebrities that have done this (Mel Gibson). Contaldo80 (talk) 10:58, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
- The amount of longstanding coverage in reliable sources, indicates if the event is notable and has that importance where it needs to be covered. Mel Gibson is a worldwide known famous actor and celebrity. He has a long history of racial outbursts. This subject, is an independent rapper making stupid comments on Twitter. It is not due weight to include such things as if we included every time a rapper said something offensive, these articles would get insanely long. STATic message me! 17:17, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
Troy Ave discography
[edit]Support split - Discography section is over half of the article and should be split to a new article entitled Troy Ave discography. --Jax 0677 (talk) 21:26, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose - Discography section is not unwieldy and the main article would be left as a stub. Fine as is. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 01:15, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Correct year of birth/date of birth/age
[edit]A Wikipedia editor just used this as a source: https://twitter.com/NYPDnews/status/735968411361120257 (says Troy Ave is 33)
Is that a good enough source (it apparently contradicts two other sources)?
What is his correct year/date of birth? 107.19.188.76 (talk) 00:52, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

67.45.96.197 (talk) 11:53, 27 May 2016 (UTC) The paragraph has bad grammar. It says "shooting at a T.I.'s concert"...should say "shooting at a T.I. concert".67.45.96.197 (talk) 11:53, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
