Personally, I think both that Headscratchers page as well as the WMG page need to be nuked from orbit. They don't add anything and it's mostly filled with complaining.

If I remember right, a ban evader used the WMG at some point too?

I agree for nuking 'em. Music artists more or less don't really need these kind of pages. They often lead into too much speculation about the artist themselves instead of their songs. Not that reasonable entries are impossible, but they're unlikely to work well.

In this case, it's clearly being misused for complaining.

How about WMG.Nicki Minaj? Found that one a while ago, anything to salvage there?

I'm going to say... nope.

But I also don't remember the rules of WMG'ing alone, but they seem pretty bad to me. I'd ask for some other opinions. The wardrobe malfunction looks like the only one that might be semi-relevant? But that actually ties into the actual work they're doing moreso than anything, and it looks questionable of a subject to bring up.

@Irene: The subpages of Kidz Bop have come up more than once here, but the most recent one was the ban evader, yes.

Against.

I'm totally against nuking anything unless there's extreme circumstances.

^ And pages completely about real-life people, complaining about those people, speculating about those people, aren't bad enough to be cut? What's your standard?

What was wrong with the WMG? People were just hypothesizing about songs on future albums and the future of the franchise.
