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.

Utterly beyond belief.

This is one of the rare cases where [[WP:POINT]] can be quoted usefully.

I'm tempted to pull [[WP:POINT]] on that one. That page has no place on Wikipedia because it uses shock tactics to make a point--something that is in fact ruthlessly excluded from the article space of Wikipedia.
But I think people are getting tired of me being the one to stick my neck out, so I'll let someone else do it. Or not.
Not me, but I'm a bit unsure why you want to put it on the chopping block...

That would also qualify as [[WP:POINT]].

I think its free speech on her own user page. I don't think anyone needs to apologize to her. As Martha Stewart says on Apprentice, "She just didn't fit in", but we can do better in bringing racial harassment to attention and reacting appropriately.

I hope that those who are complaining about the above page have already taken action against the vandals, harassers, and blatant abusers that Deeceevoice is reporting.
Is there anybody who doesn't have harassing vandals?

I don't...I just stumble into the path of Netoholic and SnowSpinner and lie there wondering what class of locomotive just hit me :-)
Take a look at [[en:WT:AUM]] if you like: I'm all for careful management, but some days you wonder whether it would make less trouble simply switching off template transclusion and letting certain "carefully-selected experts" run bots to do all that interesting formatting stuff we normal people use templates for. (Which is actually a solution which has been proposed, so I'm not exaggerating much.)

Is that really relevant? An editor is being accused of violating a Wikipedia policy because she complains about racial harassment, vandalism, and persistent bias (aka "POV-pushing").
LMAO! That is '''''definitely''''' not what she is being criticised for...
